A few important keys to loving yourself more each and every day.

1. Accept yourself
2. Celebrate yourself
3. Forgive yourself

Accept yourself.

What does this look like? Well, it looks like accepting your amazing parts as well as the not so amazing parts (because we have to be honest with ourselves, even though we are badasses, we still have those parts of us that are not so badass). Accepting the parts of you that need work (we ALL need work). The parts of you who fail sometimes (we ALL fail and flounder and falter – its life, we are humans, and it is O. freakin K).

Do you see a pattern here?

We ALL are imperfect.

Perfectly imperfect.

There is no such thing as perfect.

So why get so down on yourself when you’re not!?

It’s time to accept yourself for your imperfections and allow yourself to grow through them.

So what does acceptance mean?

It means that negative self talk needs to go out the window.

Seriously.

Get rid of it already. It’s old. Overdone. We’ve heard it too many times.

Often we are meaner to ourselves than we would ever be to our worst enemy.

What the heck is up with that?

So quit that negative self talk.

Instead, acknowledge mistakes. Acknowledge that you are human. Acknowledge that you are NOT perfect and that you can always GROW.

Because that’s what it comes down to. Growth.

And if you believe you can always grow, that you can always get better, that you can always get closer to the you you want to be, then you will accept yourself.

And that is getting one step closer to loving yourself more deeply.

Note: Accepting yourself doesn’t mean you just accept and move on. If there are things you want to change, do it. But love yourself while you do it. Accept that you are on a journey towards self improvement. Love that you CAN change. That you have the power. That you have the strength. Love that you have the ability to push yourself and mold yourself into who you want to be, because you DO have that power.

Celebrate yourself.

Yup, I said it. Throw yourself a little party. Do a happy dance. Run around the house in your underwear screaming I AM AMAZING!

Celebrate your wins. Your awesomeness. When you kick ass at something. When you kill it at work. When you’re a super good friend. When you make that perfect lane change that ended up with you passing 100 cars. When you come up with a really great idea. When you land the perfect partner. When you hit that high note finally. When you nail a beef bourguignon like Julia freakin’ Childs.

CELEBRATE yourself.

Constantly.

Without fail.

Because when you celebrate yourself, you are APPRECIATING yourself. You are acknowledging that you have some great things about you, that you are WORTH IT. That you can SHINE.

And being able to notice those things about yourself is just another step towards loving yourself more each day.

Find something EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. to celebrate about yourself.

Because let’s be completely honest, you’re pretty freakin awesome.

And that deserves celebration.

Forgive yourself.

Seriously. This is a big one and maybe one of the hardest.

Let your mistakes go. Learn from them. Don’t repeat them. But LET THEM GO.

We’re human.

We’re allowed to F up here and there. We lose lovers. We disconnect from friends. We make a mistake at work. We look down at our phones for a split second and ram into a gardener’s truck (yup, that was me as a college student – thankfully no one was hurt, but I was sure freaked out!). We get angry and say things we shouldn’t have. We marry the wrong person. We make the wrong decisions.

We make mistakes.

And it’s ok.

It sucks.

But it’s ok.

We’re allowed to make mistakes.

It’s inevitable.

(Remember that “We’re not perfect” thing from earlier – yeah that applies here).

It’s not fun.

And we hurt and we make others hurt and we take steps back in our lives and we steer ourselves off course and we lose ourselves.

But it’s ok.

When you can forgive yourself freely, you are one step closer to loving yourself unconditionally.

And I know that is what you want.

Unconditional love for yourself.

That is what you deserve.

So go out there and LOVE yourself each day.

Accept yourself.

Celebrate yourself.

Forgive yourself.

Fill your life with love for yourself so you can give love to others.
