How to improve your relationship with yourself!

Steps to improve your relationship with yourself.

Your relationship with yourself is the foundation for everything. No other relationship will amount or can even compare to the one that you have with yourself.

Your experiences and how you view or perceive yourself derives from your relationship with yourself.

I had to think about it like this, I am the only person that knows how I feel and have direct contact with my inner world (besides family and friends).

No one knows what it’s like to be me, so I need to be a really great friend to myself to protect my inner feelings and be there for myself when I need it.

I learned to take myself seriously and how I treat myself. A healthy relationship is probably the most important thing that you can have in your lifetime.

Below, is a list of things that you can do to improve your relationship with yourself.

Steps to improve your relationship with yourself
Be kind to yourself
Being kind to yourself could mean many things. For one, you can be kind to yourself simply by loving yourself even through the harsh times. We make mistakes and do things that we may regret, but we can’t tear ourselves down during those times.

It’s best to encourage and soothe yourself. Tell yourself you’re a good person no matter what life may look like at the moment.

Be kind by building yourself up, even when it’s difficult. Being kind to yourself is a great way to boost your self-confidence.

Understand your likes and dislikes
Do you know your likes? What about your dislikes? It’s a good thing to know these things so that you can know to either incorporate more of something in your life or to avoid a certain something that doesn’t quite work for you.

I like to keep things and people who contribute to my happiness around me, rather than things or people that makes me upset, sad, or unhappy.

I am able to do this because I pay attention to my likes and dislikes which helps me stay more happy than upset.

Practice Patience
Patience is a hard nutshell to crack and has always been one of my hardest things to grasp. Being patient with yourself means you accept that you are still growing, learning, and doing new things you’ve never experienced before.

Life doesn’t happen the way we want it to most of the time. We have to accept that and continue to live life for that moment; that season. I learned to not take life so literal and come to terms with the fact that things take time to manifest.

With that, I learned to be patient with myself and the progress that I am making.

PRACTICE FORGIVENESS
This is another hard concept that I had to learn. It’s always easier said to done to forgive, even if it’s forgiveness for yourself. We have constant thoughts of past failures or mistakes that makes it hard to forgive ourselves.

Oftentimes, thoughts creep up on us and takes us down memory lane. These thoughts exist to let us know that we need to learn from our mistakes. It’s perfectly fine to acknowledge your thought’s existence.

Quickly acknowledge them and think of how you learned from the experience then let the thought go. Forgive yourself.

Recognize your inner chatter
Pay attention to the things that you say to yourself on a regular basis. If you’re in a stressful or challenging situation, recognize if the things you say are positive or negative.

Try to focus on the positive things you say rather than dwelling on the negatives. If you say anything negative, immediately counteract it with something positive.

Try to make it a habit to recognize how you feel when you talk to yourself. If you’re upset, speaking critically to yourself or feel agitated, you may want to take a step back for a moment.

Take this time to calm down and speak positively instead of being harsh to yourself. You’re doing the best that you can.

Practice journaling
A great way to be in tune with yourself is to journal. Journaling is just a way to have a conversation with yourself. It’s a moment where you have to get all of your thoughts, emotions, and feelings out on paper.

I like to journal to self-reflect on my day, my week, or even just on how I’m feeling at the moment. Utilize journaling to ask yourself questions that you’ve never thought about or to dig deeper into who you are.

Don’t forget to answer your questions honestly. I like to go back to my journal entries at a later time to see how things are now opposed to when I first wrote it. It helps to see progress.

Develop self-care habits
Keep your relationship with yourself healthy by regularly engaging in self-care. Self-care is a key tool in having a wonderful relationship with yourself.

You can do things like routinely getting your nails done, having regular doctor visits, shaving your legs, getting enough sleep, soaking in a bath with your favorite essential oils, doing things that make you happy, etc.

Whatever it is that makes you happy, you should do it and make it into a habit. I try to make sure I do something nice for myself at least once a week. It gives me a reminder of how much I love myself.

Check-in with yourself on a regular basis
Take some time to connect with yourself. This can be done by checking in with yourself and your feelings. Regularly ask yourself questions to dig deep into your current feelings and moods. You can ask things like:

Am I taking care of myself? If so, how?
Is there anything that I can do to improve my self-care practices?
Did I do anything today that contributes to my happiness?
Yes? How can I make time to do this more often?
No? What’s one thing that contributes to my happiness?
What was the highlight of my day?
How do I feel right now?
The tips given above can be used to improve your relationship with yourself. Remember, your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship that you will ever have in your entire life. Take it serious.
