50 self care ideas that promotes self love

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I definitely know a thing or two about the importance of self–are. We’ve all been stressed out before, unhappy, and most of all exhausted from what we call LIFE. Sometimes, we just fall off the bandwagon and forget to put the most important person first. Ourselves.

Listen, I have been the one to always put everyone else’s needs before my own. It always resulted in me feeling completely overwhelmed and as well as letting myself go. I tend to ask myself, “how did I get here”?

Well, the answer is pretty evident. I clearly wasn’t focusing on my mental state and how it was affecting me. I practically brainwashed myself into thinking other people matter more than myself. Oh and let’s not to mention the time where I always said YES to everything. NO is a powerful word, my friends. My advice to you is to say it often!

I started to throw in the towel. This did not mean I was not going to be selfless at times, but I was going to ensure I made more time for myself. I had created a long list (50 to be exact) of self-care ideas that will PROMOTE self-love in every way possible!!
