How To Seriously Up Your Self-Love Game

Try New Therapies

Try on-the-go Emotional Freedom Technique therapy while waiting in traffic. EFT can be done anywhere and any time when you are feeling anxious, frustrated, stressed or tired. EFT helps release negative feelings and bring back a more neutral and positive perspective. The idea behind the therapy has been around for thousands of years. It originated in China and is based on acupuncture meridians. To engage in EFT therapy, learn about acupressure points for various ailments and start tapping away with your palms or fingertips. For example, for anxiety, try gently tapping two fingertips on the space between your brows (some call it the third eye), or measure three fingers from the wrist crease on the inside of your forearm and gently tap your palm and alternative sides. Some relief is usually immediately felt. Try also using words of affirmation while engaging in this therapy.

Nurture Your Inner Child

Put in an effort to be in touch with your true feelings and desires. As you delve deeper into the journey of your thoughts and feelings, you may come to realize that many of your thoughts have been programmed by society’s stereotypes revolving around success, relationships, financial wealth, etc. Your inner child knows what is best for you and while all these things can maintain their respective importance in life, they should never be the complete story of who you are and why you are on this earth. One helpful way to get in touch with your inner child is to keep a journal of your thoughts and feelings, particularly when they are in overdrive and you are having trouble understanding them. Write freely without editing yourself and always view yourself with compassion.
