When you have a strong sense of self-love, you understand your own value and treat yourself in a loving way. Unlike narcissism, which is excessive self-absorption and self-interest, self-love is a positive trait. Loving yourself means having a good understanding of both your strengths and weaknesses.

Once we get used to thinking a certain way, we need to bombard ourselves with positivity to reprogram our minds and get them back on track.

Love word is often associated with romantic love, but it’s important to remember to also show love and appreciation for ourselves. Self-love is the foundation for all healthy relationships, and it’s essential for our well-being and happiness. Here are some ways to practice self-love this year:

1. Take time for self-care. This can include activities like taking a relaxing bath, reading a book, or doing yoga. Do something that makes you feel good and helps you recharge.
2. Practice self-compassion. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a close friend. Don’t be too hard on yourself and forgive yourself for any mistakes or missteps.
3. Surround yourself with positive influences. Spend time with people who uplift and support you, and limit your exposure to negativity.
4. Celebrate your accomplishments. Take a moment to reflect on your achievements and all the things you’re proud of. Write them down and keep them somewhere you can see them often.
5. Set realistic goals. Create a plan for the things you want to achieve, but make sure your goals are achievable and don’t set yourself up for disappointment.
6. Indulge in your passions. Whether it’s cooking, painting, or playing an instrument, do what you love and what makes you feel fulfilled.
7. Get adequate rest and nutrition. Taking care of your physical health is key to feeling good and having the energy to pursue the things you love.
8. List the things you love about yourself. And I mean everything. Get as specific as you can. Include aspects of your personality, things about your appearance, your actions, etc. Nothing is too random.

We may have been told that we “can’t expect anyone to love us until we learn to love ourselves.” But for those of us who’ve experienced childhood trauma, and difficult relationships learning to love ourselves may be a little difficult.

The good news is that self-love is actually a skill you can develop — much like self-confidence or self-trust. And it’s an important one. Most of us tend to toss away compliments instead of embracing and internalizing them. Get into the habit of embracing compliments, acknowledgements, and any other positive regard people want to throw your way.

Self-love is a journey, and it takes time and effort to develop. But with a little patience and self-care, you can create a happier, more fulfilling life for yourself.

Let’s get started –

1. WALLS – Decorating any room or place is done in layers. I always start working on walls as they play an important role as the backdrop to our design concept. Color of walls are used to set a mood or make a statement. It can energize a room or have a calming effect, which means it can evoke emotional response to us, both mentally and physically.
Find an inspiration piece as your jumping-off point. Your inspiration can come from any artwork or a place you’ve just visited, create a vision board. Choose a color theme, get some more inspiration from magazines or home improvement stores near you. Once you decide on a color, you can select different combinations to balance and add depth in a room.
Most importantly, when it comes to paint, remember that it is not permanent and you can always change it, just like your life. Rules are certainly meant to be broken if they don’t cause any harm. You can come up with your own individual style if you try your own creativity.
Next thing to keep in mind is the size of the space and how much or little natural light it receives. Light in any form, whether it’s natural or artificial, it will affect the color. When working on walls, we have a variety to experiment with like paint, color, or texture. Also accent walls are always created to give a focal point in the room. An accent wall is the first wall that catches your eye when you walk into a room. You can try wood or stone, murals or wall papers to compliment walls. While creating an accent wall, if more than two-third of the wall is covered with windows and doors or shared by two rooms, don’t paint it to create a bold statement.
