How I practice self love - If I am feeling down or anxious, I give myself a hug, notice where in my body I feel the emotion, and talk to the inner child in that spot, telling her I love her, it's ok to feel this, I've got her and will not ever abandon, rock her like a baby, talk to her like a mother would her baby. And just give a big pep talk to that child, even if it take 30min or more, whatever it takes. It works! Also I exercise to stay strong. That helps to stay strong emotionally as well because I feel better about myself. I find I feel best when I do my hair and makeup too.
