Hey there,

Before you go to sleep tonight, I wanted to say I'm proud of you. You're doing better than you see and these small steps will add up in the future. Don't lose hope, your story will be worth the wait. It'll make sense in the future. For now, keep walking.

You are capable of giving yourself love, and you truly deserve to give yourself a lovely time!! Here are some ways to take care of yourself and improve your relationship with yourself, especially if you are feeling lonely, have anxiety, or have a hard time leaving your home. ♡

❦︎ Spa day ❦︎ Start a bubble bath and soak it up! Or take a nice hot shower. Do your skincare, and maybe a little extra care you don’t usually take the time to do. Massage your own feet and body with a lotion that smells good. Put on a nice robe or your coziest loungewear and notice how good it feels to be clean and warm.

❦︎ Cafe at home ❦︎ Make yourself a hot drink and homemade cookies or some kind of baked good, notice how good it smells. Plate it on your favorite plate and cutest mug. Turn down the lights, light candles and turn on music. Bring your favorite book to your coziest nook and enjoy some time in a cozy space!

❦︎ Movie Night ❦︎ Make microwave popcorn, get some candy and a soda! Turn off the big light and close the curtains. Whether its your bed or your couch, prop it up with pillows and blankies. Turn that phone off and keep yourself in the moment. Put on your favorite show or movie and enjoy your snacks!!

Surprise yourself with how refreshed and cared for you will feel! It can be hard to love someone when they are never taking care of you, and this includes yourself. If you want to love yourself, show yourself the effort you would want someone you love to show you! Sending you energy and warmth. You got this angel ♡

'Recently, I started a weekly ritual. I walk from my office to the movie theater, where I slip into a back row and slouch down in the darkness. Afterward, I walk the hour and a half home, mulling over the film and daydreaming on my way across the Brooklyn Bridge. I don’t need to formulate a coherent take—or tell anyone my thoughts at all. It’s just me and the occasional passerby and the skyline melting into the water. The night is a perfect bite of quasi-solitude: I get the quiet of my own mind but also the sputter of cars, the swell of the movie soundtrack, the energy of strangers. I’m part of the world, and I’m alone.'

The Atlantic article 'Take Yourself on a Date,' Faith Hill (2022)

About solitude and self-love

I spent this Valentine’s Day alone. I ordered a pizza, bought some tasty snacks, lit a candle, and hopped into bed to watch a movie. And that was good.

I finally learn how to be alone, fully, for a long time, without the chase for someone else’s love or the intention to feel my own significance and uniqueness through the prism of a romantic relationship. Without desperate, broken, “I want pleasepleasepleaseplease to be loved.” Be loved by someone else, not by myself, because before, all I could give to myself was self-hatred. Be appreciated and supported by someone else while I destroyed myself from the inside with negative thoughts, anxiety, and self-doubt.

I want romantic love, of course; I think everyone wants love and a reliable partner that gives us a sense of goodness and safety and with whom we could spend a life. But… not now. People come and people go, and the only person who is gonna stay in my life forever is myself. And that’s the most important thing.

I’m finally able to feel a sense of happiness about being single. Progress. I don’t know how many months or years it will take for me to actually heal, but now I can at least say that all was for the better.

Now, for the first time in my life, I live completely alone: not in my relatives’ house, not in a dormitory, not with a love of my life, not in a rented room, around people in my space that I don’t know. I’m alone now, not because someone else has left my space for a short period of time; I’m just… alone. Because that’s what I want, and that’s how it’s comfortable for me.

I rented an apartment, and I take care of myself, focusing on self-development and trying to get back to the creation process. I do what I want and what I need to do. I spend a lot of time with myself to get to know myself better.

I’m learning how to love myself and build a relationship with myself. I make promises to myself, and then I fulfill them. I change my life for the better. I take care of myself. I try to give myself time to rest without pushing myself to my limits. I listen to myself and take care of my comfort. I praise myself. I’m giving myself the love that I spent on others before.

I can finally say that I love myself. 💫

Hi there,

I skipped the love letter to myself yesterday as I fell asleep and then thought, hey look I didn't make a mandatory project out of my journey of self appreciation. So tonight I want to say to myself, as always I'm proud of you. Today you worked, and rested which is enough.

We're closing the year in a couple of days and I hope you can admire yourself now. Everything is in alignment and things are working out for you. Trust me, maybe this season of sadness is lasting longer than you hoped but know that it'll all be worth it. As always, so freakin proud of you! I love you.

- Day 4 and 5 of love letter to myself

First off, Pick a place you can go once a week, get familiar with the place and staff.
It can be high-end(Luxury) or casual, It all depends on your vibe.

Next, Do your hair, makeup get yourself together. Pick a fragrance, put some jewelry on and lotion up. Just all thee above.

Sit there. Order a drink and/or some food. 
If you start to get anxiety because you by yourself get a journal to write, put a AirPod in your ear listen to music or be on your phone. But definitely Get a drink, you will be fine. I promise.

Get comfy! Start getting in the routine to start doing solo activities with yourself. It’s a great way to get out there. Spend this time working on yourself. 
Then you won’t fall for bullshit!

When you date yourself & you learn yourself & you become ok with being with yourself - you don’t settle! It’s time to get right within and start figuring out what you want .

I use to want to be chosen , now I chose myself and it’s fuckn amazing 🤩 
Not anyone can come into your space and disturb your peace once you enjoy being alone.

So if a guy ask you what do you want, you say: I want the love 💕 that I give to myself x2
It’s a mindset switch - pray , manifest , and have faith 

Now get out and date yourself and start taking care of yourself rather you in a relationship or not. It’s time learn yourself on a deeper level and give yourself all the love that you can. 

And that’s why dating yourself is so important
