Why I have self appreciation in my bio….
We’re all aware that self love is important, but for some of us that’s not easy. Sure it’s a journey, but on the way to feeling like we have true love for ourselves what do we do in the meantime? That period of trying to love ourselves; some days we want to cry, others are maybe neutral, great and then down again…. It can be a roller coaster.
That’s why I’m an advocate of self appreciation as a positive step towards self love. Neither will ever be perfect, but on the days where I find it hard to love myself I can look in the mirror and say all the things, my body or my brain I’ve done for me that day, and I find it easier to appreciate those things. Changing my language around self love, and appreciation has really helped me on my journey to be more positive towards myself. I still have bad days, but my bad days are not as awful as they used to be because I have this practice that is focused on progress.

Self appreciation is a powerful tool in nurturing self love and mental well-being. While self love can sometimes feel elusive, focusing on everyday acts of self appreciation helps build resilience against negative thoughts and feelings. It's essential to recognize that self love isn't a linear journey. Instead, it has ups and downs that reflect our daily experiences and emotions. Incorporating practices such as gratitude journaling, daily affirmations, or simply taking a moment each day to appreciate something about ourselves can enhance our emotional health. Learning to appreciate even the smallest accomplishments fosters a more compassionate relationship with ourselves. It's about acknowledging the efforts we put into our day-to-day lives, like tackling tasks at work or simply being present for loved ones. By shifting our perspective from perfection to progress, we cultivate a mindset that welcomes growth and self-acceptance. Furthermore, creating a supportive environment, whether through engaging with communities that encourage vulnerability or exploring resources on mental health, can bolster our self appreciation practices. Overall, prioritizing self appreciation is not just a step towards self love but a commitment to nurturing our mental health and fostering a more fulfilling life.
