How self-love brings you peace
Posted on October 28, 2021 by Neha Sonney, One of Thousands of Relationship Coaches on Noomii.
As a self-love advocate and conscious relationship coach I see people struggling to love themselves which affects their peace and wellbeing.
Having experienced emotional neglect and physical abuse in my childhood, I didn’t know what it felt like to be safe in a relationship. This resulted in my attracting unsafe relationships, jobs and friends. When I became a new mom, I knew I had to create a safe world for my child. In order to do that I had to become the epitome of peace, love and harmony. But how could I bring that if I myself had no experience of it?
The answer lied in recreating a strong identity. I relentlessly practiced meditation and immersed myself in personal development. I realized that I needed to practice self-love religiously in order for me to make a difference in my life as well as that of others. So what does practicing self-love look like on a day-to-day basis?
1. Drawing healthy boundaries and saying No and meaning it.
2. Allowing yourself to take breaks
3. Staying off social-media
4. Drinking water and exercising
5. Meditating/Walking
6. Involving the senses and practicing presence.
7. Having a healthy hobby that brings you happiness and helps you connect with others.
8. Noticing and observing feelings and emotions.
9. Speaking kindly to yourself when no one’s around.
There are plenty of other things that could go on that list. Self-love can be practiced through being disciplined to take care of your mind, body and soul. Through the continuous practice of self-love techniques that work for you, you will develop a better understanding of yourself which results in experiencing peace within.
I share my entire journey of self-love together with 11 strategies to free yourself from your past, embrace your true identity and develop unshakeable confidence in my book WIRED FOR SELF-LOVE. It will be published on 29th of November. If reading the book helps be 1-2% a more integrated person, my book has achieved its purpose.
