So we all agree trips and vacation are healthy and a good thing. But what about when we come back and face post-trip depression? It can be such a sudden drop in emotions. To keep these good feelings going, let’s try making our daily lives more exciting.

Self love is crucial for a healthy relationship with yourself. But it can take time to get where you want to be in your self love journey. So let’s take it day by day and start with some daily habits you can start doing today to improve your self love. 

I’m currently trying to quell the fears of being unworthy to date by reminding myself not to self sabotage, enjoy the good moments, be careful of love bombing and trust the timing of my life.

I have all this pressure and feelings about men and dating, but I feel the most peaceful and satisfied when I’m content with being single and not looking for anyone. So if you want to feel peaceful and satisfied, you know what to do ladies: decenter men from your life!

In those moments of doubt or feeling undervalued at work, remember that you are worthy, valuable and meant for the right company. Try your hardest not to take it personally, advocate for yourself and don’t be afraid to walk away. 

If you’re scared to talk about your feelings, write down and practice what you want to say, remember to breathe, make eye contact and remember your reasons.

When it comes to dealing with friends who constantly compare themselves to you, try not to get upset or defensive, express your feelings about the comparisons and acknowledge their emotions while still speaking up for yourself. 

Self sabotaging in the early stages of dating is when you let fears, past trauma, insecurities, etc. prevent you from being vulnerable and accepting the good things and fresh experiences that could come out of a new relationship with someone.

Boundaries are physical and emotional limits you set with yourself or with other people to limit actions that you allow in your life. Learning to set clear boundaries is important for improving self worth and standing up for yourself. 

It’s time to stop saying sorry when it’s not your fault and stop apologizing for who you are. If you want to know how to stop apologizing so much, here are a bunch of small ways you can start today.

Self care is the key to showing yourself some extra love when you’re feeling low, bored or just want to spend some meaningful time with yourself. There are so many self care ideas out there that are guaranteed to leave you feeling relaxed, in tune with yourself and improve your self love.

• I am allowed to grow, evolve and change without explanation.  

If you’re looking for a sign to finally heal your broken heart and remove your ex or situationship from your thoughts and life, I encourage you to go no contact and move on from the sleepless nights, crying sessions and pain.
