Hello!

Hmm. That’s an interesting question.

Ultimately, you know yourself best.

However, practicing self-compassion, self-kindness, and mindfulness may be beneficial<3

Sending hugs! 💛✨

Hello my friend

Self love is a long journey in my experience. I think there's not a specific available way of doing this. As you grow you realize you need new steps and they are all different for everyone in my opinion. So keep working on it and enjoy it. Enjoy discovering yourself and the growth it brings to your life. After all, we are all here in this world to make mistakes and grow. Try new things and see how it feels. However there are a few fundamental steps here that helped me very much.

Try to get more connected with your feelings. How happenings and reactions "feel" to you. It can help you find out what makes you happy in general. Take time to distinguish your feelings too, is it happiness, excitement or peace etc. Keeping a journal is helpful here.

Be kind and forgiving to yourself. Stop using negative self talk if this is what you tend to do. Just let the feeling come and pass. If you caught your inner voice blaming and insulting you, just tell that to shut up! We usually judge ourselves so brutally and it's never beneficial in anyway.

Be your own biggest fan. We're in a world that we cannot control others' opinion about ourselves, but we can control our own opinion. There's no need to let other people's judgments and standards to shape our standards. Even if the whole world stands against you, you should always remember that you're going to be there for yourself.

Respect yourself in every possible way you can. Whether it's living a healthy lifestyle or setting new boundaries in relationships. Maybe even pursuing a hobby or career you always wanted to.

Hope these can be some examples and inspire you to find and start your journey ✨
