I recently went through a painful breakup. Immediately I had to step into a position of moving on, being healed and overcoming feelings of hurt or shame. Practicing self love is the best way to recover from a bad breakup. This is my current routine on how I am healing from a painful breakup.
The #1 way to practice SELF LOVE is to pray about everything you are going through. Personally, I pray to Jesus, the son of God. I ask him for wisdom, healing, guidance and understanding. Most importantly, I ask for the forgiveness of my sins and ask him to reveal in me the character traits that are not of him. By morning, I am redeemed and ready to take on the new day. #SelfLove He lifts my spirit and what a beautiful thing it is to feel the grace of God fall upon you.
#2 I journal when I feel led. Sometimes my journal post are short, sometimes long. When I journal, it's as if I am writing my prayers down and talking directly to my higher power. Its really cool when you re-read your old journaling posts and you realize prayers have been answered.
#3 Watch a new TV series or a movie that will give you a good laugh! Currently, I am watching the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Video. Make sure you don't forget to set apart time for you!
#4 Spend time with those who love you and make you feel special.
#5 Pamper Yourself: You don't have to spend a fortune to do this. Do something for YOU because you deserve it! Whether that is going to get a relaxing massage or giving yourself a mani and pedi. In my case, I took advantage of the free shipping Amazon offers to Prime members and I purchased new skincare for my skin. The skincare arrived right away and washing my face with the Philosophy Exfoliating Cleanser was heavenly. The cleanser left my skin feeling gently exfoliated and perfectly prepped for moisturizer. After I moisturized my exfoliated skin with Philosophy Night Cream leaving my skin clear, bright and glowing. I highly recommend pampering yourself in whatever way that is to you. If it helps you to feel relaxed and at peace then you are practicing self love!
#6 Watch inspirational Youtube videos: I have many Youtube channels that I follow and watch on a daily. These two ladies have great youtube channel videos for those trying to practice self love. Adrianne Bailon Houghton from The Real and Terri Savelle Foy as your personal cheerleader of dreams are down to earth and genuine and I enjoy watching them on youtube. Here are two youtube videos that help in practicing self love.
