Affirmations For Self Love

Self love is a daily, hourly, and sometimes a moment to moment practice. Throughout your day, it's important to speak kindly to yourself and use words that bring feelings of peace, calm, and ease into your being.

The conversations we have with ourselves are creative in nature. They create emotions in our body and activate different vibrations in our energy field. Our thoughts are powerful, and as we think, write, and speak, the Law of Attraction will bring us more of what we are focused upon. This is how the creation of our world happens.

It's always a nice idea to have some affirmations on hand that help you find your centre more easily, and also help enhance your positive feelings. Affirmations are like telling a new story; a positive story that helps you feel better. Anytime you feel even slightly better in your emotional state - whether that's a feeling of relief, calm, happiness or excitement - you are finding alignment with everything that matters to you.

If an affirmation makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, it's not the right one for now. Choose a few that truly give you a feeling of comfort or an emotional lift. And practice them until they become a steady part of your thought process.

That's how you can begin to cultivate healthy new beliefs for yourself.

Let's explore some affirmations for self love:

1. I treat myself with love, tenderness, and kindness.

2. I honour myself and the person I am becoming.

3. I trust myself.

4. I deserve to be happy.

5. I give myself permission to rest and restore.

As you read through that list, notice which affirmations speak to you at this moment in time. Which ones felt the best to you? Take some time to write them out in a journal.

Remember that when you plant your affirmations in your mind, it's like planting a seed in a garden. You want the soil to be fertile and ready for your seed. It's best to read your affirmations at a time when you feel relaxed, comfortable or happy - that will help them take root more easily.

After meditation, self-Reiki (if you're a practitioner), breathwork, yoga, spending time outside, or after doing something you love - these are fertile times to plant those affirmations.

Remember to practice weeding your internal garden by letting go of thoughts that bring you emotional discomfort. Focus on counting your blessings, looking for the good, reminding yourself of the new thought seeds you are planting, and taking care of the way you feel throughout your day.

With steady practice, your affirmations will start to come to you naturally. You'll be repeating them to yourself throughout your day effortlessly, just by practicing these simple steps. And you'll feel wonderful as a result.

Your affirmations are meant to support your well-being. Plant them in fertile soil, tend to your internal garden and they will blossom into beautiful beliefs that will attract the things, relationships and experiences that you truly desire into your life.
