25 Ways to Practice Self-Love #BehindTheBlogger

With everything moving so fast around us it is often hard to find time for ourselves. Or we may be too busy taking care of everyone else. Nowadays, self-love is so important. Self-love is not selfish; you cannot truly love another until you know how to love yourself.

We are not good to anyone else if we are not being good to ourselves.

Here are 25 ways to practice some self-love (they are not in any particular order, I just like the countdown), so you can be loving to yourself.

25. Diffuse your favorite essential oils

24. Buy yourself flowers

23. Use Affirmations

22. Drink water

21. Look in the mirror and say "I Love You"

20. Have a Homemade Spa Session

18. Go Dancing

To a New Start. #BehindTheBlogger

With the new year comes a new start. New goals. New adventures. New relationships.

I want to do things different this year. I really want this to be a year filled with new beginnings. Like most I have pick my one word for the year, got a new planner (yes, I'm a planner addict), and have my list of books to read.

I have accepted the challenges and shake in fear for stepping out of my comfort zone. But this is what new beginnings are all about. Right? (I hope so)

I want to end this year saying that I have tried new things, and made new memories. Not the same boring stuff year after year. My days consist of work and my weekends consist of sleep. For some that may be great, but I am ready for something new. (it doesn’t have to be too exciting)

Here's to a new start. New beginnings. I hope 2017 to be the best yet with more than I can imagine. I hope you feel the same way to, so we can be in this together.

Are you with me?
