Self Love

Welcome to February, the month where we find ways to show people we love and care about them.  How about spending some time this month to love and care about yourself?  Listed below are some self love challenges for you to try.  Take some time to reflect during these challenges and start making your own happiness a priority.  Once you start taking care of yourself, you can start taking care of others.

Self Love Challenges:

1.  List 10 things you love about yourself.

2.  List 5 things that make you smile.

3.  Go on Pinterest, Google, FB, IG, etc. and find yourself 10 quotes that make you happy.

4.  What is something that you are truly proud of?

5.  When you are having a bad day or are stressed, what do you like to do to feel better?  Is this a good habit to have or a bad one?  If it's a bad one, try to change it into something good.

6.  If you have obstacles in your life that are making it hard to reach a goal, what can you do to overcome them?  Who can you reach out to?

7.  How much time do you spend worrying about what other people think of you?  Stop spending time worrying about this.  Focus on you and the good you want to do in the world.  Don't hold back just because of what other people may or may not say.

8.  What is your favorite hobby?  What makes your soul happy?  Spend more time doing that.

9.  Do you fill your mind with positive thoughts?  When negative thoughts come around, how do you deal with them?  Do you listen to them or do you push them aside?  Learn how to take those negative thoughts and throw them away.  Focus on the positive.

10.  If you met a person who was just like you, would you like that person?  Why or why not? 

11.  Are you too hard on yourself?  When you fail at something, how do you talk to yourself?  Do you build yourself up or do you beat yourself up?  We all fail sometimes but we have to get back up and try again.  Failure is a part of success.

12.  Make a quote board!  Take your favorite quotes and make a project out of it.  Buy some cork board and write out quotes that inspire you.  Hang it up where you will be able to see it every day.

"It's not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and make your happiness a priority.  It's necessary."
