SELF-LOVE CHECK LIST
1. Relationship with yourself
Honouring you and take true care of yourself is something we normally don’t learn. However, self-care is super important to be able to identify your needs and stay connected and in charge of what’s going on in your life.
Ways you can self-care:
2. Relationship with others
Ways to support your relationship with others:
- Communication is key in relationships: Being able to say what you feel and listening to others and how they feel is super important!
- Set boundaries
- Say no to abuse
- Recognize unhealthy behaviours, not only in others, but also with yourself and how you are with others.
- Ask for help if you need it
- Support each other, specifically when someone is expressing their feelings and needs.
- Appreciate others for who they are and not for what they do or what they look like.
3. Relationship with your surrounding
Although we may not be aware of it, our surroundings have a big effect with how we feel in our everyday life. While sometimes we may not be able to change our environment, for example family, school, college, etc. we can make small changes, to create a more supportive space for ourselves that supports us to stay connected.
- Check your relationship with technology. Are you in charge or are your electronic devices controlling you? Ways to get back in control: turn off message and notification alerts; practice not responding immediately to every message or notification; turn your phone off at least 1 hour before you go to bed.
- Observe what affects you, a situation, a conversation, a movie, the music you are listening to, etc. Has the movie you just watched or the music you are listening to changed your mood? Everything affects us!
Organize and prepare for you. For example, make quiet time to complete tasks or projects you have in your life. - Prepare your breakfast/lunch, feeling into what most supports you during your day.
- Declutter your room, closet or desk – this creates more space for the awesome you!!
- Check with the people you live with what is needed to support the home. Its empowering to take responsibility and be part of the home you live in.
Remember every choice you make affects how you feel, so YOU have the power to change what you choose!
Take responsibility for the choices and decisions you make! ❤️ Knowing that you don’t have to wait for love to come to you but can give this to yourself every day and in every moment.
