This post is all about the best tips to love yourself more starting now.
I am turning 30 in a few months, and I have been thinking a lot about my twenties. I have been reflecting on the life lessons I have learned up until now. There are so many things I wish I would’ve known in my younger years.
One of the most important things I wish I would have learned sooner is to love myself. And I mean really love myself in every sense of the word.
We can’t always control what happens to us or how others feel about us, but we can control how we treat and show up for ourselves. You must learn to love yourself and become your own best friend.
Your life will change for the better when you learn how to love yourself. You will feel happier and more confident. You will feel more secure, and you will stop settling for anything less than you deserve.
How To Start Loving Yourself
It can be hard to know how to love yourself when you don’t know how.
You must first know that you are worthy and deserving of love (and you are). It may help to write down a list of qualities that you love about yourself, and you can reread this list when you need a reminder. If you can’t make a list on your own, ask a family member or friend what qualities they love about you.
Now, think about the person or people you love most in the world. How do you treat them? Do they deserve love and respect? Should they settle for anything less than they deserve? Chances are you believe the people you love most should be treated with kindness, love, support, and respect.
Well, I want you to add yourself to that list and start treating yourself as such.
The Best Tips To Love Yourself More You Need To Start Now:
#1 Make yourself a priority
You need to make yourself a top priority.
Your needs are important, and it is your job to make sure that you are meeting them. This means taking the time to take care of yourself and only doing things that make you feel good.
Say no to people and things that take time away from you doing the things that make you feel fulfilled. When you say no to things that do not make you feel happy or fulfilled, you will have more time to do the things that make you happy.
#2 Speak kindly to yourself and about yourself
Stop the negative self-talk. The way you speak to yourself matters.
Would you call your child or loved one dumb because they made a mistake? Probably not. Every single person makes mistakes, and you should not say something to yourself that you wouldn’t say to someone you love.
In the past, I would say mean things to myself that I would never say to another person. I was very hard on myself for no good reason. We have to stop speaking negatively about ourselves, even if no one is around. Our words have power.
We spend a lot of time with ourselves and in our minds, so try to make it a happy and safe place. Show yourself the same love and compassion you show to others.
#3 Believe in yourself
You can do anything you set your mind to. You create your life with your thoughts. Believe in yourself, and know that you are capable of making your dreams come true.
Many successful people will tell you that there is power in your thoughts.
So be your own cheerleader and start believing in yourself.

#4 Eat healthy and stay active
Eating healthy and exercising are one of the best ways to love yourself. When you eat more whole foods and exercise regularly, you are prioritizing your health.
Focus on how you feel when you exercise and eat healthy rather than the number on the scale.
Living a healthy lifestyle is about feeling your best. Show that you love yourself by taking care of your health.
