7 ways to show yourself love
Yesterday I shared 5 ways to get to know yourself. Getting to know yourself is the first step in cultivating a meaningful + loving relationship with yourself; but the magic doesn’t stop there!
Maya Angelou said “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
Your feelings signal needs that want to be met. Now that you have gotten to know your feelings + needs better, you have the power to do something about it! What kind of love is your body, mind, + soul craving? What would feel joyful + satisfying? How can you give that to yourself?
If we are used to codependent relationships, we might feel powerless to meet our own needs. We might feel like we’re waiting for someone else to show up and do it for us.
While it’s true that humans need other humans to thrive, I think it’s especially important for those of us recovering from codependency to explore ways of meeting our own emotional needs that we may have been overlooking.
Not only does this practice feel powerful + healing on its own, but your relationships with others will also be more balanced + clear when you know what you need and how to fulfill it.
If you’re ready to start cultivating more self-love, I highly recommend checking out my workbook! It takes you step-by-step through 4 weeks of journal prompts, affirmations, and somatic exercises to help you break up with your old people pleasing, perfectionist patterns for good and start living more authentically. You deserve to bask in your own love + admiration!
