How recently have you shown yourself genuine appreciation? We frequently forget to appreciate who we are in a society that is always expecting more.
A straightforward yet effective self-care practice is writing a love letter to yourself, which serves as a reminder of your journey on good days and a source of support for your bad ones. It is an effective way of putting an end to self-doubt and substituting compassion, empathy, and gratefulness for it.
The below TikToker with the name @ayandastood emphasises that self-love is about acknowledgement, not boasting. Imagine getting a sincere letter from someone who recognises your potential, beauty, and strength. What if that someone were you? She also suggests addressing yourself with names you wish people were calling you, such as, “my love,” or “my darling” and shares hers which is “my sweet sunshine”.
@ayandastood Part 2 coming because I have many more thoughts on this practice!!!! It’s so precious, just like you ?☀️??. So often we are focused on “the version of ourselves we want to be”. I was staring at a tree and it already was all it needed to be. There are things you’ve been noticing about yourself. Write it down sunshine! ?? #loveletters #healingtiktok ♬ original sound – Ayandastood
