Since this is the month that is designated as the month of love with Valentine's Day fast approaching us, I thought that it would be appropriate to write a quick blog post about love. Not really concentrating on loving someone else, but loving yourself because if you love yourself then you won't be disappointed if someone else doesn't give you the love that you are sometimes so rightly deserve and are seeking out. Likewise, think about it, who can really love you the best or correctly accept you?? As the NFL wide receiver put it best in an interview, "I love me some me!". You may think that it's vain and down right selfish, but guess what, I don't and besides we need to start investing in ourselves first because we deserve it, and the majority of the people that are reading this article probably are wearing not only multiple hats but many capes and underoos and tights as well dashing in and out of practices, making meals, cleaning up, doing homework and going to multiple recitals(and don't think this only applies to women-men! So kick back and read this small post besides it's Valentine's so if you get in trouble just double up on the candy and flowers LOL!
So here are some few things that you can start doing to start giving yourself the attention and love that you so rightly deserve.
1. Find something you like about yourself. Look in the mirror and pick a body part (shoulders, hands, skin, eyes, etc.) that you admire and accentuate it.
2. Practice positive visualization. Every morning after you turn off the alarm, make it a habit to imagine yourself at your very best: healthy and happy. Visualize as much detail as possible.
3. Splurge on an item of clothing that makes you feel fantastic, whether it's gorgeous (men a great suit or women some sexy lingerie or a pair of killer high heels).
4. Surround yourself with a circle of friends who not only adore you but who also love themselves. Fat talk and body bashing- "hate my (insert body part)" are contagious. No negative self talk allowed.
5. Write down something nice a friend or family member/ someone close to you have said about you and stick it on your mirror so you see it very day.
