Some days feel heavier than others.
There’s no big reason. Just a quiet emptiness, a soft sadness. And over time, I’ve learned not to fight it — not to pretend everything’s fine.
Instead, I’ve learned to hold myself gently, the way I would hold someone I love.
That’s where my self-love routine comes in.
It’s not perfect, it’s not fancy — but it’s mine. And on the days I need softness the most, it always brings me back to myself.
🧘♀️ 1. I start by slowing down
No pressure. No alarms. No “shoulds.”
Just deep breaths and quiet.
I stretch slowly. I lay down for a moment, hand over heart.
I try to listen to what’s going on inside, without fixing or forcing anything.
Just feeling. Just being.
☕ 2. I create a safe little space
I play calm music. I make something warm to drink — usually herbal tea or almond milk with honey and cinnamon.
I light a candle, open a window, put on cozy clothes.
I do my best to turn my space into a soft, loving cocoon — even for an hour or two.
Because sometimes, a little comfort changes everything.
💦 3. I reconnect with my body
When I feel disconnected or low, I come back to the physical.
A warm shower, slow and intentional.
My favorite body oil. A simple skincare ritual. A quiet moment brushing my hair.
They’re small gestures — but they tell me:
“I’m here for you. You deserve tenderness.”
📓 4. I write what I feel
Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes I don’t even have the words.
But I let it out. I journal with no filter, no rules, no pressure.
It’s not about being poetic. It’s about letting my emotions breathe.
And most of the time, once they’re on paper, I understand myself a little better.
📴 5. I unplug from pressure
When I need love, I know social media can both help and hurt.
So I take breaks. I protect my space.
I choose what I feed my mind — a calm movie, a walk in the sun, a podcast that soothes my heart.
I come back to what’s real. What’s simple. What feels good.
💗 My little something extra
What matters most in all of this is the intention.
I’m not trying to “fix” myself. I’m just showing up — with kindness, with care.
I’m learning to be the one who loves me first.
And every time I do, I feel a little stronger.
A little more whole.
A little more… loved.
