Self-care starts with loving yourself and putting yourself first. Often times, we take on the responsibility of others and their problems, forgetting about ourselves and making their issues our burdens. Here is a list of things you can do to honor yourself and begin your self-care/self-love journey especially as we enter the holiday season and begin a New Year, let’s start by practicing new habits.

  1. Make a list of what loving yourself looks like.
    2. How did you love yourself today?
    3. Write yourself a love song?
    4. Look in the mirror and tell yourself “I love you” every day.
  2. Plan something special for you this week.
  3. Tell yourself you are proud of you every day.
    7. Plan a vacation if you were to take yourself to a place alone.
  4. Notice who doesn’t add value to your self-love. Heal or release yourself from this relationship.
  5. Determine a quote that compliments your self-love.
  6. Wake up 10 minutes early and write down how you will love yourself today.
