Self Love & Inner peace

What is self-love?

Self love and a inner practice go hand in hand of the most powerful ways to explore/understand yourself. An inner practice gives you the space and opportunity to find your own authenticity. Self love is a state of appreciation, valuing yourself as a human worthy of love and respect. Over time through developing a positive mindset your self love will grow. Part of this mindset for self love to grow is we also need to develop self compassion. This is being kind and understanding with ourselves when confronted with personal setbacks, difficulties or mistakes.

What does self-love mean to you?

One of the most important things to realise with self love is it will be experienced differently for everyone. Its very much a ‘work in progress’ and grows with experience, inner reflection and connection. Some of these characteristics may resonate with your own definition of self love:

Nurturing and eating healthy
Setting self care boundaries
Accepting yourself as you are
Non attachment to judgemental thoughts
Standing up for yourself
Being open to new opportunities
Expressing yourself creatively and freely

Important steps we need to make

To achieve this self care ‘work in progress’ we have to take a few steps. Believe me your future self will thank you for this! Here goes:

Start letting go of self-doubt and self sabotaging beliefs that are preventing you from going after your hearts desire and passion.
As Susan Jeffers says 'feel the fear and do it anyway' start living outside of your comfort zone and see your confidence and happiness rise.
Develop a inner practice so that you can change the relationship with your thoughts and stay where life really is!
Being the 'skipper ' of your own ship. Putting your highest priorities first. Developing 'do-able' self care routines.

Why practice self-love?

Taking care of your own needs is important as: Self love helps reduce stress & recognise when it time to self-care and set boundaries.

Self love helps you to develop healthy routines/habits-motivated to make positive changes.

Self love improves emotional resilience and prepares you for future challenges.

Self love can help you manage anxiety and depression symptoms.

Self love can increase your happiness-accepting yourself as you are is linked to higher satisfaction in life-see yourself as a close friend.

"I was experiencing a time in my life where I was under a lot of anxiety and worry. I felt completely a lone and isolated. I was not able to get into college due to COVID and felt distraught leaving school without any formal qualifications. This affected my mental health, making me a much more distressed person in which I realised I was living in the future not in the moment. Anita’s incredible life coach/mind Calm sessions and teaching gave me the opportunity to take control of my mind and life as they allowed me to become a much happier, positive, and more authentic person. I could not recommend Anita enough! Thank you so much."

Anna Bradley

"Anita has a lovely happy personality and at the same time can show empathy and understanding while taking on board my problems. We have covered deep breathing techniques and have done stepping stones to achieve a calmer mind. This has been incredibly helpful to me. We have since moved onto Chakra meditation which I find totally relaxing and calming".

Janice Needham

"Anita’s energy, attitude and thoughts on life was a breath of fresh air. We now meet once a week to practice meditation and discuss new areas of spirituality. I had tried meditating before but could never get into it and become consistent. Anita has completely changed my attitude towards meditating and it is now a daily practice as part of my morning routine".

Talisa Vallance

"I wish to extend sincere thanks to Anita for the ongoing Stepping Stones to Mind Calm sessions. These sessions are really helping me with my racing mind. There is a lot of change going on in my professional life and personal life. I noticed I was living in the future and creating videos in my head which was making me anxious".
