Self Love: Make a small promise to yourself & learn to trust yourself
Hello dear community. I am back with another self-love related post today.
One way we can learn to trust ourselves more and thus increase levels of self-love is by keeping our word to ourselves. In a world full of chaos and external influences on our mood, it can be especially important to be able to create this safe space within ourselves and know that we got our own back in such times.
Today's exercise is pretty simple and something everyone can do - no matter how in tune you are with yourself or no matter if you are just now beginning your self-appreciation journey.
I would like you to make one small promise to yourself that is not related to any task. Nothing you "need" to achieve. I'll give you an example.
- I promise myself to try to not let negative thoughts ruin my day. I promise myself to refrain from saying negative things about my body -
Now your turn! What is your small promise to yourself?

@AveryLove
I appreciate your time in making these amazing posts on such an important topic, Avery, love the ideas, the content too. ❤
Keeping our word, and in a way, being accountable to ourselves is super duper important, it certainly makes a lot of difference in fostering a good relationship with ourselves, I feel.
Now comes the hard part lol 😛
One small promise to myself today is to practice self kindness. 😊
❤ Tagging some amazing people too: @MelodyoftheOcean, @ReemHelp, @FallenAngel19, @Selflessspruce1515 ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou i couldn't agree more with what you've said! glad you enjoyed the post.
practicing kindness is an amazing promise to keep to yourself ❤️ thank you very much for sharing 😊
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
@AveryLove
Thank you Avery for making this beautiful post, really.
And thank you Sun for Tagging me, I really liked your words 💛
I will try to accept myself for who I am today, no matter what the day will bring up!
❤️
@MelodyoftheOcean
Aw ofcourse, Ocean, Way to Goooo! Anddd i so love the colors haha. ❤️💛
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
I love the colors too 👀
@MelodyoftheOcean hey mel. glad you enjoyed it & that is one beautiful promise to keep to try to accept yourself more ❤️ thanks for sharing!!!
@AveryLove
Thank you Avery! 💜
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Aww, I love the promise that you made! I hope that you can achieve it with flying colors. One small promise I would make to myself is to not be so hard on myself for my mistakes, and to learn from them. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn, and not a failure. ❤️
@selflessSpruce1515
Yay! Thanks, Spruce, so encouraging. I admire yours too, being open to accept mistakes and to learn from them~ seeing them as a growth opportunity, without belittling ourselves about it is so so amazing. I know you got this and I'm proud of you for doing it. ❤
@AveryLove
Hi, Avery! Thank you for reminding me that we can create a safe space within ourselves and how important it is to know that I got my own back. 💛
🌿 I promise myself to pause and take deep breaths when I feel intense emotions ineffectively take over me.
🌿 I promise myself to reverse my distorted core beliefs by practising this self-affirmation: "My feelings inherently matter and there is nothing good or bad, or right or wrong about them."
Cultivating self-love and learning to trust myself are definitely things I need to continue working on. Thank you, Avery, for posting this. 😊
@SilverSeastar
Love that affirmation, Silver. Such concise promises; being specific to our needs really helps in working toward them efficiently. Keep going. ❤️
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Aww that's very kind of you, Sun! Thank you for the encouragement ☀
@SilverSeastar
Aw ofcourse, that truly is one powerful affirmation. Often many of us are too engrossed in labeling a feeling as good or bad that we delay actually *feeling* it (I know because I do the same subconsciously too lol), so this was an amazing reminder to let the feeling be and not fuss about labelling it anyway, simply acknowledge the fact that it exists and matters as it is. ❤️
@SilverSeastar so glad you enjoyed this exercise and i absolutely love your answers plus the affirmation. thank you very much for sharing ❤️
I promise myself to try to keep it gentle 💚🙏🏼 thank you
@sunflow
I love this promise, it feels very calming to me and full of love 😊
I promise to take care of myself today and listen to myself 🥰🦊
thank you for your kind words ❤😌 love your promise too 🥰🙏🏼 lets be kind to ourselves. sending blessings!
@gentleFox20 that is one great promise to keep, fox!
@sunflow what a lovely promise ❤️
@AveryLove
Hmm, from a very long time, I’ve always said to myself “never give up, keep trying, it’s ok, you can do it”. And so I’ve continued and made it this far, it isn’t anything great, but it’s something better than nothing 😊
@GloriaD it is actually something really great & big!! That is a wonderful promise to keep to yourself. Thank you for sharing that with us <3
@AveryLove
Thanks 🌻
To continue to fix me for the best!
What is your small promise to yourself?
I will always remain graceful
@AveryLove
loved it!
