Health is a Matter of Heart
Self-love is accepting and respecting yourself in order to facilitate change in your life and achieve optimal health. We need to examine ourselves and be willing to focus on change. This is the key factor for empowering ourselves to conquer all fears and obstacles on the journey to lifelong transformation.
Here are some tips, to love yourself to better health.
Decide you are important. Because you are! Make yourself a priority. You have to feel that you are important enough to give yourself the opportunity to change and to support yourself in being successful. Be compassionate with yourself and accept that change does not happen overnight.
Take small steps. Incorporate one or two specific healthy habits at a time, like healthy eating and hydration, instead of trying to make a drastic change or too many changes at once. For example, instead of saying, “I’m going to eat regularly,” try “I’m going to eat a small meal every two-three hours.” That way, healthy habits are more likely to stick. My clients use the Habits of Health App to help them take small steps.
Be consistent. The more consistent you are, the more positive results you may experience. And, if you happen to experience a setback, acknowledge it, and get right back in the game. It’s okay to get off track and get back on. The longer you dwell on any shortcoming, the longer it takes to get back on track.
Use your support system. Having a support team is crucial to success. As your coach, I’m here to guide you along your journey. Also, having a community of like-minded people offers valuable tips, insight, and motivation. I can connect you with one!
Celebrate your success. It’s important to reward your efforts consistently while implementing new habits. Recognize your accomplishments when you hit a milestone, even if it’s a smaller one. This will motivate you to continue working toward your goals.
The benefits of self-love can bring positive change, not only for yourself, but also for your family, friends, and colleagues. Watch how your positive energy becomes contagious and creates an environment of freedom and health where others also thrive.
Make the commitment to love yourself and watch your health improve!
