It's hard!
It's hard to self Love but when you do, you wish you had been doing it all along because it feels so good and different from the one you feel when someone tries to take care of you. You feel yourself taking responsibility of how you feel, what you are putting on and how good you look from the inside to the outside... Self love is the best if done well.
Even though it's hard to love ourselves as much as we should, we should never stop trying to love ourselves... I learnt more about loving myself last year after I faced a big challenge that led me to the hospital (a place I had never imagined to find myself in)
So yeah, I decided to love myself more by taking care of ME!
Heard this sentence "Never to be caught unfresh"? I try to keep to that even though I still falter so many times but the fact that I have it in mind to do it that more often has helped me a lot to always come out looking good with the little money I have. Looking good doesn't have to be an expensive thing for anyone, just make sure to build your confidence with how you appear either by what you wear or the kind of hair you make.
Looking good for me helps to boost my confidence, self esteem and self acceptance everyday. So long I feel that I'm looking good, there is almost nothing that others will say that will make me feel bad about how I look except there are really obvious reasons to get changed.
I have a bad habit of eating unhealthy foods (junks) a lot but after deciding to take care of myself better, I tend to be more conscious of what I eat, when I eat and how I eat. This has helped me stay more healthier, before now I'll complain of stomach aches everyday but it doesn't happen too often anymore because I've gotten conscious of what I let into my stomach.
I take very good care of my stomach as it's an important part of who I am and some meals will have reflect in our body on the long run so I'm conscious of that. Those pictures are from different times I tried different meals, I stopped having some when it has a bad effect on me. Aside that, I try as much as possible to eat well for my body.
I always have my "Me time", it's something I've grown all my life but I do it more consciously now. One thing I find hard to do until recently is resting enough, I can't seem to find myself napping when I'm stressed but instead, I do more work and get wore out at the end of the day. Self loving myself means, I have decided to have more of "Me time" and stay healthy with these few ways...
- Napping even when I'm not so stressed yet
- Seeing my favourite kind of movies
- Taking selfies to feel myself
- Singing or playing my favourite kind of music
- Listening to or reading comedy
All these helps my body stay healthy and feel good, I try to do these daily even though sometimes I fail but there has been good effects from doing all these and I plan to continue.
A question was added to the topic asking when was the last time I treated myself to a good time and I could only remember months back when I went out with my friend (can't believe it's been so long I took myself out)
It was on my birthday last year and I decided we go see a new place that opened a bit far from my place at school. It was called "The Celebrity Lounge" and we had to pay some money to get inside. Everything in the place shows that it was indeed a place for celebrities and we made sure to enjoy every celebrity benefits at the place.
We took a lot of pictures, had drinks, ride on swings and listened to music while we chatted about fun things. It was so much fun and I wanted to not leave there but it got dark and we went back home. I also had cakes that evening, the day ended well for me.
Self loving isn't an easy task for one but always trying could get one into perfection and I plan to keep trying to love myself more and more. Right now, I'm planning a day out simply to put this edition topic to reality for me and I may update you guys later when I'm back hehe.
When last did you love yourself by taking care of yourself? Tell us!
Sweetie, you're very beautiful 😍
Thanks for sharing your beauty & reminding me to always take good care of myself.
Salute from Kovalam 😘
Awww thanks so much for the compliment 😊
You're welcome! Are you also in India?
Haha no, I'm not
Do I look like one? 🙈
Maybe a little bit. India is a vast country. Many different tribes & people live here...
Oh I see, that's cool
Someday, I hope I get to visit 😁
Go for it! It's incredible & magical!!!
That your friend looks familiar on Hive. Is she here too?
Self-love isn´t a hard task and should not be seen as one because it is something we truly deserve and we should never deprive ourselves of such.
That's Otuyanancy na
I thought you would recognize her easily 🥲
Yeah, it isn't but then many are finding it hard to do that much for themselves
Ehnehn .. I thought as much but her name didn't appear in my brain as I knew the face is familiar here 🥴☹️
Lol is alright
It's great that you finally decided to do away with junk foods and start eating healthier foods. Taking care of our health is a big part of self love, it's easier to do so when we are in good health
You're right, staying healthy should be paramount in our self Love
Loving and taking care of yourself is very important.
I try to do it every day and during the day I try to treat myself to moments to recharge my physical and mental energies and treat myself to a cuddle.
It's important after hard work to know how to reward yourself.
Beautiful post and fantastic photos.
Thanks for sharing!🤗
Hehe I'm glad you do that much for yourself, self love is an important routine for anyone to stay healthy.
Thanks for your compliment on my photos 😊
Being conscious about taking real good care of yourself is the way to go lady and I see you are doing really well being intentional about self care, keep it up👍.
Thanks sis, I hope I keep it up... I plan to hehe
yeah... Never to be caught unfresh, I like that statement
I picked a lot of sense where you said this👇👇
This is in hand with being contented with what you have and being proud of your achievements, where you are and where you are heading to, only then you will grow better. Several times we oppress ourselves base on how we see our friends leave in luxury and we try to compete with them and forgetting that we need to be ourselves. Fake life doesn't last but the real you is the real you till death, I love the measures you are upto taking care of yourself, resting even without being tired is a good one and I should include that in my routines also..kudos bae🙌🙏💙 Hope you're having a great week over there..🙌
Hehe I'm glad you got a whole lot of sense from what I shared... Self love should never be of comparison with how others do theirs, just make sure to take care of yourself.
I'm having a great week, what about you?
As usual oo, walking up and down looking for who will help me spend my money 😅😅
Awww I wanna help 🥺

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who come tell you say I get ni
Chaiii...Person pikin don de chop denial here oo😂😂😂
Seriously money is good😂😂😂
Watin go carry this gentleman come see this one na, breakfast for sure this night ooo😂😂😂
As I continue to read this post, it felt so much like you were talking about me.
There is nothing bits self-love because no one will ever be able to love us the way we can love ourselves.
Sadly most times people miss this, they forget to love and treat themselves well and right instead they will be looking for such from others.
Self-care is bae, ride on baby girl.
Exactly the point my dear
Whoever would try self love more wouldn't feel much need to crave others love.
Thanks sis 🥰
And when we love ourselves it becomes easier for others to love and appreciate us.
Exactly!
Self love can be hard indeed, especially that first time. But once you try it out, you see the wonders it brings, then you'll regret not doing it all the while.
But as they say, better late than never.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Indeed, I plan to enjoy those wonders it will have on me because I'm trying everyday to love myself even more
Even thuo it may be hard but we should always embrace ourselves with Love and care 💅💅
Came from @dreemport
Yes, we really should
For our own sake
It is very good to take care of ourselves
Looking good should be everyone's first priority because the way you appear is the way you will be addressed
And eating a healthy is a very important part of it because it is only a healthy human being that can keep pushing
You've said it right, thanks for stopping by
This morning of course, I exercised, drank water, meditated, and took some nice selfies before leaving my house for my office.

If I'm to give you a piece of advice is that you should continue eating good food, don't stop eating good food, even when you are stressed eat good food.

Many times, we don't realize the importance of some things until we are on the brink of losing them.
The hospital experience must have made realize why you needed to pay more attention to yourself and you are doing just fine with the things you have listed here. Eating good food, self time, outing, body care, and many other things can be done to appreciate ourselves.
A lot said by you and I couldn't agree more with you... Self love requires more from whoever decides to take care of themselves and the outcome is beneficial.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I appreciate your feedback and tip 😊
Thanks
