How I incorporate self-love daily :)

I began a journey of self-love and exploration at the beginning of 2022, knowing that it was going to be my year of lots of love (which I was completely right!)

I tried making it as vague as possible to reduce the stress and mindset of having to do one particular thing every week, but if it works for you, incorporate that!

Here's what I do (actually based on the planets, since the days of the week are inspired by them):

Monday

Make art with my emotions.

Tuesday

Record myself talking passionately about anything that comes to mind.

Wednesday

Go on a long walk someplace, anywhere. (You could also make a voice memo and empty thoughts there).

Thursday

Treat yourself to something new. (Could be a new coffee shop you've been wanting to try, a new hair mask, because I always put these things off for a "special occasion" and never actually end up doing- moral of the story: you don't need to have a reason to do anything).

Friday

Take care of yourself today. (Whatever that means for you that day, could be a bath, or an at-home eyelash lift you've been meaning to try that's been sitting in the corner of your room in a box.)

Saturday

Do something for your child-ego. (We all have 3 ego states: Adult, Child, and Parent. I have a list of things I typically did as a kid that I stopped doing, and a list I wasn't allowed to do. I recommend it!)

Sunday

Cook a nice meal. (This is meant for any family traditions, my grandmother used to cook an amazing Italian meal for us growing up every Sunday to get together. Or make your own tradition.)

EXTRA

So, I dedicated some days of the month to incorporate traditions for myself and honestly to better know myself. Once a month, specifically on the 9th of every month (because I used to believe that the #9 gave me bad misfortune and curses) I buy flowers for myself. I have a video diary I do every 27th of every month to update my life, I save it to a google album because they're usually long.

I take pictures every day, of something that makes me happy, I'm proud of, and also pictures of myself. It's awesome to look back on and reflect, I have a discord server to myself to reflect for example.

I hope this is useful for some people, I recommended it to several people in my life and they said it was extremely smart and I should definitely post it somewhere haha.
