Self love starts with taking care of your mental and physical health. Once that starts, it’s pretty hard to ignore the love you have for yourself.

In my opinion, taking care of your physical health is a lot easier than taking care of your mental health. So what is mental health?

Mental health “encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing cognition, perception, and behaviour” - Wikipedia

So let’s start with taking care of our emotional health. This means cut out those bitches who treat you like sh*t! Yes it’s hard but if your own mum can see that they aren’t good for you, believe her. Mums are always right. This will also benefit your social well-being as well - being able to socialise without being criticised? Sign me up!

Okay so what about physical health? Taking care of your body. You need to take care of your body the same way you take care of your skincare. The gym is a great, easy place to start! Yes it can be a very scary place if you don’t know where to begin, so start this journey with a friend - this will also improve your social well-being as well. Don’t know what to try? I have 5 beginner friendly exercises that you can try on my Wellness page called “Gym It” - in that I have 5 images and descriptions of those exercises to help you be confident in the gym and get a banging quad pump (I have a Level 2 in Gym Instructing so I know what I’m talking about). Don’t like the gym? Try aiming for 10,000 steps a day. Having something to aim towards everyday that is achievable will make you a BAD BITCH and meeting that goal? You’d feel such pride in yourself and that is what brings self-love!

Journey to self love doesn’t take anyone but you to find it. It also won’t come straight away and it’s hard to maintain. Sounds cruel but that’s the harsh reality of it.

Regards of the self-love you have for yourself, remember that there are people that love you and want you to see yourself the way they see you.

I also love you <3
