Self Love
How do you practice self love?
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC
By practicing my hobbies regularly, learning and unlearning.
I have no idea 😂
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC By eating my comfort foods (which is normally anything sweet haha!)
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC
By treating myself as I would a kind child.

@AshleyNFlewellenLPC. A lot good and bad my dad made my self love good and sadder and depressing he doesn’t listen realize what he does wrong causes what occurred my dad was abused as a kid he takes it out on me from his mother his mother men’s and cruel bad she’s dead a man never hurt a woman girl I got a lot to tell you say times self love does hurt I have a lot of homeless in my community that’s struggle I’m struggling in life it really hurts
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC my dad did get something negative his mother he did take it out on me it hurts I had to accept live with it being physically abused slapped in the face twice as a teen once as an adult other things to that occurred
@dhabib
So sorry to hear that you had to suffer from what happened to your dad and that he took it out on you. It's sad when parents cannot give the love children need but I hope that by practicing self-love, self-compassion and the support you hopefully find here life will change to the better.
@amiablePeace77 I do I practice self love and get support someone else I am very vulnerable it hurts it’s not okay what my dad does it’s scaring me
@amiablePeace77 yes it’s sad not being loved supported respected I got from my parent he’s been doing it to me I was a teenager
@dhabib
I hope you feel loved, supported and respected here. Sometimes strangers can make us feel better than those who are closest to us 💙
@amiablePeace77 that’s True I need healing and support the ones close to us hurt us others are close to us get uspet angry with us I have suffered so much it’s an infection I need you I’m glad we are getting connected with each other it’s also a process to overcome things it’s sweating physical pain anixety
@amiablePeace77i don’t like being hurt disrespected
I engage all five senses. I give myself a face and neck massage while smelling some nice incense, all that with music in a background, while having some snacks or a drink - all that with some moody lights. Engages all five senses at the same time, and for me as someone ND this is amazing 😍

This is a really good idea! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
I try to love myself by wearing girly clothes because I've always felt like a girl trapped in a guy's body ever since I've known my mom wanted girls instead of guys so I tend to wear a lot of *** and skirts and skorts nighties

I can only imagine how painful it must have been for you to realize that your mother preferred girls. 💙 To me a child/adult should be loved for who they are!
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC this is what i need to do WAAAYYYY more
I do my gratitude journal.
I meditate.
I took a 21 day self love course on the gratitude app.
