HOW TO:
5 Powerful Ways to Practice Self-Love

1. Focus on being someone who loves.

It can be challenging to make the big change and go from someone who doesn't love themselves to someone who does. Just like when you’re building muscles, self-love takes consistent practice.

Put more effort into being someone who loves than loving yourself. In other words, make as much space as you can for love to pass through you. Consider the positive aspects of the people you encounter. Whether you're at the grocery store, in a meeting, or conversing with someone, concentrate on the things that you value. Find as many things to love and be grateful for as you can, and then just let your body acclimate to happy feelings.

2. Tap into what it looks and feels like to be loved.

It’s easy to be loving toward ourselves when things go as planned, when we succeed and people like us. Not so much when things go wrong, we make mistakes, or we're turned down. We also tend to be harshest on ourselves when we are struggling the most.

Consider how someone who truly loves you might behave in those circumstances. How would they respond? What would they do? What manner would they act? They probably wouldn't condemn, berate, or criticize you. They would extend acceptance, kindness, and compassion to you. If you can’t think about a specific person or memory, imagine how the most loving human on this planet would be toward you. Then try treating yourself that way.

3. Stop comparing yourself.

The love of oneself is killed by comparison. And we aren’t usually very nice when it comes to comparisons, right? Instead, we contrast our biggest shortcomings with the greatest accomplishments of others. Put simply, you're destined to fail.

Realize that you are the author of your own story instead. Understand that no matter how well you know someone, you can never truly know how they feel or view the world. As a result, you should never compare your life to theirs. Instead, spend your time and energy to nourish and build your path.

4. Take baby steps to create the life you long for.

Desires have great power. Therefore, it is an act of self-honor and self-care to take action and make those aspirations come true. You demonstrate that you are deserving of enjoying the life you want by acting on a daily basis.

It merely needs to be little, steady moves in the direction of happiness, concern, and enthusiasm. Big actions are not necessary. This shows that you value and respect yourself as well as your dreams. Has there ever been a better time to do that than now?

5. Ask your guidance system for help.

Assume that you are being guided by your emotions. When you feel good about yourself, it means that what you’re thinking is aligned with how your soul/higher self sees you. Feeling low about yourself is a warning sign that you need to shift your viewpoint.

If you think a thought such as “I am [something you don’t like about yourself],” how does that feel? Probably not the best, am I right? Then it's a cue to change your perspective. Try to swap that out for something more considerate. "I'm just so lost and confused," for instance, can be changed to "I'm doing the best I can to move forward."

Meditation can change your brain. Meditation has been shown to boost frontal brain activity, reduce gray matter and increase oxytocin. It can also promote physical growth in the hippocampus – meaning your brain actually gets larger.

Four-footed Posture (Chatushpadasana)

What is Four-footed Posture?

Four-footed posture, or chatushpadasana in Sanskrit, is a variation of bridge pose. Instead of the arms extended on the floor, here the hands clasp the ankles. The pose is often used as a preparation for shoulderstand. It gives all the benefits of a backbend while maintaining a soothing effect on the mind.

Instructions

• Begin lying on the back.

• Bend the knees and place the feet near the buttocks, hip distance wide.

• Grasp the outsides of the ankles.

• Inhale and lift the hips, pressing down through the heels.

• Breathe while holding the pose.
