Importance of self-care and self-love

I'm sure you've heard the famous catch phrase "Treat yo self!" from the popular comedy show ‘Parks and Recs’. They seem to have it all figured out- the importance of treating yourself with self-care and self-love. It all starts with you. Unfortunately most of us don't have personal assistants to tell us when to eat, sleep, exercise and when to spend time on ourselves. Here are a few tips to help you on your way to creating a better self.

It's okay to say no! Saying no allows you to have the freedom to opt out of something that does not align with who you are. It gives you more free time to do what you really want, even if it is just relaxing by yourself for a bit.

Take a nice warm bath or shower filled with uplifting fragrances to help you de-stress after a long day.

Have your eye on that specific item? Can't stop thinking about it? Go for it! Splurge on it, because you work hard and you deserve it!

Have a day to yourself to recharge your batteries. Go to the beach, the spa, get a massage, binge Netflix (in moderation of course), read, etc. Just have some you time, if you can!

Get up and move your body! Exercising, yoga and walking are great ways to relieve stress and helps to elevate your mood.

No negative self-talk! When you feel a negative thought pop in your mind, simply say, cancel that thought. By putting positive energy and vibes out into the universe, it will allow more positivity to come back to you (think law of attraction).

Write a list of everything you are grateful for. You may not be exactly where you want to be or have everything you want at the moment, but by looking at everything you are grateful for, right here and right now, it will allow you to create more abundance and happiness in your life. It also increases your self-worth, confidence and positive outlook on life.

It's so important to have some you time for self-love and self-care. If you don't have love for yourself, no one else will be able to do it for you!
