I made a list of ways to cultivate self-love everyday.

FireIntensity January 25th, 2023
  • Create a list of everything you know about yourself.
  • Talk about something you really like on video once a week and appreciate your own lovely mannerisms when you watch it back. (I store mine in Google Photos, so it doesn't take up space on my phone.)
  • Create a mantra to repeat when you feel uncomfortable.
  • Make a collage of old pictures of you and words that you describe yourself as, and put it near a mirror to look at every day.
  • Give places unique, silly names. (I use Google Maps and I make labels!)
  • Create a scavenger hunt by making a list of things you might find (I put fire, roses, angels, etc), buy a disposable camera, and take pictures of it.
  • Make a deck of things you want to do, like crazy things, and every month choose one to give yourself.
  • Create a secret handshake with yourself.
  • Make a mini time capsule for every birthday.
  • Make traditions for yourself, and mark them on a calendar. Here are some more ideas:
    • choose a color to dress in from head to toe on a particular day
    • buy or pick certain flowers on the first day of something. (I buy flowers for myself every 9th of every month.)
    • eat a nice dinner
    • buy yourself a gift you couldn't have as a kid
    • create a signature birthday drink and make a wish like a potion
    • video diaries, think of the same questions to ask yourself every date.
    • choose birthday song
  • Read fairytales or books out loud to yourself like a daily ritual
  • Write a love poem for no one in particular- that could be for yourself.
  • Pick a hobby to exclusively work on to help self-sabotage
  • Grab something from anywhere you visit to create a Momento
  • Hide little notes of encouragement in random places
  • Write in a diary about events in your life, but almost as if its fiction and/or fantasy.

These are practices to better know me and interact with myself. It's weird that we are human beings, but I find that we rarely allow to treat ourselves like people too. We work ourselves like machines, but rarely find the time to sit down and be with ourselves.

I hope this encourages you to be with yourself more, learn about yourself, and experience what it's like to love yourself a little more today. :)
