That's a super interesting perspective @Designingcamp, I haven't thought about it like that before. Will you be on tonight to have a chat about it? I'd love to hear more about your perspective! 🙂

What are some strategies that you can use to make sure that you feel more self-love toward yourself?

A personal favourite of mine is taking long baths - if I have a long day, or i'm not feeling too great, then that always helps to keep me in focus. I also love taking some time out to read, and spending time with my family and friends.

@basketofmonkeys so true - long baths are the best.....it's been too long since I took one

Ahh baths are so good @basketofmonkeys i am moving house soon, and the fact that the new digs has a good bath was a major part of the decision to rent it 😛

@letitgo journalling is great! Something I always aspire to do more often 🙂

What are some strategies that you can use to make sure that you feel more self-love toward yourself?
- When I am talking negatively to myself I try ask myself how I would respond to a friend who was saying the same thing.
- Try to avoid personalising situations that are probably not personal
- Remind myself that other people struggle with it as well
- Take time for myself each day to do something that I really want to do 🙂

What Strategies can i use to make myself a better person

originally posted on 14-08-2017 8:45 PM

@Brendos94 a key strategy for any process of becoming a better person is being able to notice when you do improve or grow in a certain way. Practicing self-love is a big part of helping us do that. It's also easier to improve by working with our strengths, so what are your strengths? Practice some self love and you'll start to figure that out!

Ugh @May_ and @letitgoi have been meaning to try journaling for...like 10 years... any tips for getting into it? 

originally posted on 14-08-2017 9:15 PM

• Try to get back into a bit more physical activity
• Use self-care strats when I feel like shit
• Take time to chill out and distract myself when I need instead of continuing to focus on the feelings

5. In the spirit of self-love, list 5-10 things about yourself that you thing are awesome, or that you love about yourself

1. Athleticism
2. Humour
3. I try to give everyone at least a bit of trust when I first meet them
4. I'm stubborn
5. How far I've come since a couple of years ago

What is something that you may be able to do this week to increase your level of self-care?

 

Somehow start meditating! 🙂

ooh @meesha we tried to all have a go at a mindfulness/meditation session at once a while ago! I know @FootyFan26 and @j95 helped out with it. Maybe we could get it going again?
