Today on the blog we’re talking about learning to love yourself, one day at a time. It’s important to focus on self-love, because if we love ourselves, we can give others more and live a life full of joy!
Learning to Love Yourself, One Day at a Time…
Learning to love yourself isn’t a one time thing. It can’t happen overnight, especially if you’re at a point of blaming yourself for everything, and putting yourself last.
We live in a filtered world, where we’re comparing ourselves to unrealistic expectations. It’s time to find the love for ourselves, from within and without.
Whether you’re looking for a new job, trying to find YOU, or perusing dating websites, loving yourself is key to finding true happiness within yourself first…
You need to make sure you take it one day at a time, so here’s a few things to try that take very little time:
- early nights
- drinking more water
- laying off the booze
- eating food your body loves
- taking half an hour each day to do something you love
- taking a bath or long shower
- lighting a candle and relaxing in silence
- meditation
- date nights
These things will help you in terms of offering your body the things you need to get on the right track to self love. Once you’re in a rhythm that works for you and your body, you can then lean into more lengthy tasks to make sure you put YOU first!
One of the things we love to do is have one on one time, because we love dates and date nights, so it really works for us. We can offer each other some care and attention, from sharing a bath to giving each other a foot rub!

Body Confidence & Positivity
Finding the things you love about yourself is key to body confidence and positivity. Zoey has struggled with body positivity since coming out as transgender, but she tries to focus on the things she loves, such as her gorgeous curly hair or her long legs! It helps to focus on these things to boost your love for your body!
Self-Care
Self-care is so important, and will lead to tonnes of self-love! If you take care of yourself, and you make sure you are your priority, then self-love and happiness will come in abundance!
Zoey recently had an ear infection which really affected her emotions and mood, she looked into Auris Ear Care who offer some great treatments for ear infections.
Be Selfish
This is the hardest one by far. Being selfish feels all sorts of wrongs, but it doesn’t need to be a negative word. Doing things you love, and putting your mental and/or physical health first is so important. It doesn’t mean being horrid to others, or not helping out, but it means making sure you take the time to read that book, have an early night, or say no to alcohol. It’s about putting your health and well-being first, so you can be happy, and help others.
We hope these tips have helped you think about the things you can do to help you towards the goal of self-love and self-acceptance. For more from us, don’t forget to check us out on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
