Self-love is in!

We love that because it means that many women out there are looking for ways to love, respect, and make themselves a priority in their lives, however, sometimes we see thousands of people on social networks talking about self-love as if it were very easy to give it to us.

You might think that giving ourselves love is the easiest thing in the world, because who doesn’t know how to love themselves? But you would be very surprised to know that it is not always that simple because it is not what we are told to do from childhood. In many cases, society tells us that we must look out for others and please them, but rarely do we talk about doing it with ourselves.

Has it happened to you that you do everything to keep others happy, but you are not sure what activities you like? Have you ever made beautiful gifts for your friends or family, but you don’t get anything? That happens! A good part of us has experienced it.

Here at Maka we want to help you in your process and show you that you too deserve time, gifts, and special activities just for yourself. Not to invite someone else or spoil a loved one, but to make you happy. It sounds simple, but we ignore it most of the time.

What does self-love mean?

It is a state of appreciation for yourself that grows with actions for our physical, psychological, and spiritual growth. It means that you can care about your well-being and happiness as well as your needs without sacrificing yourself to please others.

We all have a different concept of self-love, so focus on getting those activities that you love to do and that may not be repeated so much in your routine, or try new things that allow you to grow and learn from yourself.

How to start giving yourself self-love?

Now that we understand what self-love is, let’s ask ourselves how to start giving it to ourselves. You will see that it is not that difficult, but you will need a lot of yourself to do it.

As we told you before, they don’t always teach us to think about ourselves, so don’t worry if the process feels difficult at times… It’s normal!

Focus on what you think, feel, and want

This is not always easy, but becoming more self-aware is a key to giving ourselves more self-love.

Practice self-care

We love ourselves when we take care of and consider basic needs such as good nutrition, an exercise routine, a sleep schedule, intimacy, and healthy relationships with other people.

Treat yourself with love and respect

We know that you love your family and friends very much, that you treat them with love when they are wrong or comfort them when something doesn’t go well, now, do you do the same with yourself? Do you talk to yourself and treat yourself with love? Think about your answer, and if it’s negative, work on it!

Identify what makes you happy

If there are activities that fill you up, make you grow, and excite you, then they have to become part of your routine. For example, if you like to dance, how about taking dance classes once a week? Or if you like a particular restaurant, why not indulge yourself and go once a month? Get smiles on yourself!

Choose your healthy habits

Giving you love is also taking care of your diet, leading an active life, and carefully choosing the activities to which you dedicate your time. Don’t do things just because you have to do them, but because they really fill you up.

As you can see, the path of self-love is beautiful and an incredible way to connect with yourself. Live it your way and experience each discovery with excitement.

Then tell us how the process went.

Love,

Maka.
