With more people knowing about self love through social media, people are getting frustrated because they’re like, I don’t really know how to love myself. 

Here’s something I want to share with you. Knowing about self love, is like knowing of a language. 

You know may of French (that’s if you don’t know French), but you don’t know how to speak it yet if you have never practiced it. 

Self love is the same thing, if you have never practiced it, how can you be good at it? 

So I’m going to show you a practice today, not doing affirmations, or go to to spa. 

Exercise : acknowledge your feelings. 

Set a timer for 5 min, in the comfort of your own room, sit down, and breathe in and out. 

Turn your attention inside your body, and notice what you’re feeling. 

If you’re at an early stage and you don’t know what the feeling is, notice how your body feels like. 

Maybe you feel short of breath, or tingling in your chest. Or energy going down your arms. 

And once you notice it. Repeat this sentence, soft enough only to yourself, yet loud enough for you to hear: 

“It’s ok for me to feel this way”

Or if you know the feeling, “It’s okay for me to feel (anger, disappointment, frustration, sadness)”

Repeat until that deeper part of you felt heard and understood. 

Maybe tears may come. Or maybe you want to scream or hit something. Whatever comes, let them out. 

Don’t stop yourself, let it finish. 

Then to finish, thank yourself for doing it. 

“Thank you for seeing me, thank you for acknowledging me, thank you for being with me.” 

Try this and see if you have any questions. You can always send me a message or comment. 

Sending you lots of love.
