How to Fall in Love... with Yourself

Thank your body for being able to accomplish those goals, cause without your body... you're not gonna be able to do ***. Hello friend, Celina here from Heart-driven fitness and I'm back again talking all the amazing stuff about fitness, meditation and self-love. So like I've said before I help women learn to love their bodies throughout their fitness journey. So leave me some comments down below let me know what you got up to this week, I would love to hear from you. And today's video is all about how to fall in love... with yourself. You know what I love myself, even though I look like a burnt chicken nugget, I still love myself. So I'm gonna get right to it so my first step on how to fall in love with yourself is to stop scrolling, stop aimlessly scrolling on social media if it makes you feel like ***, just stop doing it. Unfollow the accounts that you find yourself comparing yourself to, that trigger you that make you feel down about yourself and follow the accounts that inspire you, that have more of a holistic approach to fitness, um shameless promo go checkout Heart-driven fitness we talk about more than the topics that the average fitness account talk about, it's a journey. Self-love and fitness is a process and I'm all about celebrating where you at in your journey and yeah definitely having these goals where you would like to be, but accepting yourself where you are and embracing the adventure that's to come. So yeah stop scrolling on social media and unfollow the accounts that make you feel really crap. My tip number two on how to fall in love with yourself is to make healthy changes so that you feel better about yourself, nourish your body with food that is going to give you that sustained energy throughout the day so you're not feeling fatigued. Instead of eating that sugary crap that's going to spike your insulin levels and then crash after you've had that sugar rush, so nourish your body with food that will keep you going throughout the day, drink lots of water, move your body daily. By finding an activity that you really enjoy and once you start seeing that progress, that little bit of progress, that progress in how you feel, how you look and your level of fitness you'll be even more inspired to keep continuing. So tip number two is to make healthy changes so you feel better about yourself. Tip number three on how to fall in love with yourself is to witness any judgement you have when you look at yourself in the mirror and to breathe into any discomfort that you feel when that judgement arises so witnessing that judgement and acknowledging that judgement that you have are the very beginning steps in your self-love journey, so you'll be able to progress from witnessing and acknowledging that judgement to embracing and accepting that judgement and then getting rid of that judgement as much as you can. And being able to step into slowly loving and fully accepting and embracing yourself. And all the things that you may not necessarily want to flaunt and that you like and just accepting and loving that as part of who you are. So my fourth tip on how to fall in love with yourself, this might be a little bit out there for some people but I believe that apologising to any part of your body that you hate, such a strong word or that you dislike that you haven't shown love to it at all, that you've just thrown judgement, resentment, anger, um all those feelings that don't feel great towards that body part. It may be even your whole body, by apologising you'll be able to slowly start letting go, you might need to even forgive parts of your body that you feel have 'let you down' whether you have 'bad knees' when you go up the stairs or whether a body part has some sort of medical condition that you feel is 'letting you down' and is making you feel really crap and um not allowing you to do the things that you want to do, by apologising and forgiving those parts of your body that you don't necessarily fully accept and love, you'll start on your journey towards accepting and hopefully embracing and eventually loving yourself. So tip number four is to apologise and forgive any body parts that you feel you dislike or have let you down. So my last tip, so tip number five for how to fall in love with yourself is to focus on other goals other than your body goals so think of areas in your life that you won't to improve in, that you want to excel in and start putting your energy towards that. And then when you start seeing progress or you start to excel in those goals and that area of your life, come back and realise if it weren't for your health, if it weren't for your body you wouldn't be able to do what you want to do, so tip number five is to focus on other goals and invest your energy into areas other than your body goals. So yeah that's my video today I hope you found it supportive, some of the steps may be a little, some of the tips rather may be a little bit new and out there for some people but I really hope you embrace them and give it a go.
