How to Love Yourself Mentally: Breaking Negative Patterns
Self-love and mental health aren’t just a concept; it’s a journey. Below are my personal exercises that I share with my friends, family, and clients to help guide them through this process.
1. Create a Healthy Diet and Stick With It
Just like a car, your body needs quality fuel. That’s why you need to eat foods rich in nutrients, not just deliciously sinful delights.
Think rainbows on your plate, not just chocolates and chips. And remember, diets are like boomerangs. What you put in comes right back to how you feel.
Make a pact with yourself to stick to this diet, because your fabulous self deserves nothing but the best.
2. Have an Exercise Routine Daily
Get up, move, groove, repeat. Create a routine that keeps you active. A healthy body equals a healthy mind. Don’t let the laziness lure you into its comfy lair.
Regular exercise is like taking your mind on a vacation. You’ll feel more energized than a bunny on a coffee buzz. Even if you’re not ready to go all in, remember, some exercise is better than no exercise.
3. Let Go of Everything That Interrupts Your Peace of Mind
Easier said than done, I know. But it’s like pulling off a band-aid. The quicker you do it, the less it hurts. Consider it mental decluttering.
You wouldn’t keep trash in your living room, so why keep it in your mind? Drop the negativity, and you’ll feel lighter than a helium balloon on a windy day.
Trust me, the freedom and tranquility that await you are worth the effort. So, take a deep breath, peel away the mental distractions, and reclaim your inner calm.
4. Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
You’re unique, there is only one of you. By comparing yourself to others is like comparing apples and oranges or unicorns and dragons. It just doesn’t make sense. Run your own race.
Embrace your quirks, talents, and journey. Remember, the only person you need to outshine is the one you were yesterday. Celebrate your progress, big or small, and keep moving forward.
Trust me, you’re already amazing just the way you are. So, let your uniqueness shine and be your own kind of extraordinary.
5. Understand That You Are Enough
You’re a limited edition masterpiece, not a mass-produced knock-off. You’re not too much, not too little.
You’re just right, like the porridge Goldilocks chose. You, my friend, are just right, perfectly balanced, and perfectly imperfect. Don’t let anyone make you feel otherwise.
Take it from me, you’re enough and always have been.
6. Hang Out With People Who Uplift You
Surround yourself with people who lift you higher than your favorite song’s chorus. Seek out your crowd – those people who energize you and make you feel like you’re dancing on clouds.
Remember, you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Choose wisely.
I promise you when you choose to surround yourself with positivity, your self-love journey will flourish with an extra touch of sparkle.
7. Embrace Imperfection: Accept Your Flaws as Part of Your Uniqueness
Accept your flaws as part of your uniqueness; embrace your quirks. They’re what make you, you!
Flaws? Nah, they’re unique features, like dimples on a face.
Perfection is overrated. We’re all beautifully flawed. It’s time to strut your uniqueness like a peacock on a runway.
There’s a captivating beauty in embracing imperfections and accepting your flaws as integral parts of your unique identity. Your quirks, those charming idiosyncrasies, are what make you undeniably you.
8. Write Down All Your Negative Thoughts
There’s something therapeutic about transferring your thoughts onto paper.
Treat it as a metaphorical garbage disposal, where you can release all those thoughts that weigh you down. It’s a great way to clear your head and create space for positivity.
They’re out, you’re free. And remember, the only thing you should do with these thoughts is to let them go, not reread them.
Instead, acknowledge their presence, honor your emotions, and then set them free.
Remember, you’re in control, and by writing down those thoughts, you’ve taken a step towards freeing yourself from their grip.
9. Challenge Your Inner Critics
It’s easy to be your own worst critic. But, who says you can’t argue with yourself? Debate with that negative voice in your head. Debunk those self-doubts. Challenge it.
Be the lawyer for your self-esteem. Prove the critic wrong, then do a victory dance!
Finally, embrace the joy of overcoming that self-critic and let your inner cheerleader shine brightly. Remember, you’re your own biggest advocate, and you’re winning this battle.
10. Start a Self-Love Journal
Why not start writing a love letter for yourself? Start by noting down everything you love about yourself. List everything, big and small.
Remember, this isn’t vanity—it’s an act of self-love. It’s like having a pep talk on demand from your biggest fan – you!
So, when doubt creeps in or confidence wavers, reach for that love letter. Read it back and let the words resonate in your heart. Feel the warmth of self-love envelop you, igniting that unwavering belief in your worthiness and potential.
11. Form a Healthy and Strong Supporting System
Build your squad. A team of cheerleaders who will be there for you. It sounds cliche, but choose who will be there for you through thick and thin.
Remember, quality over quantity. You don’t need a stadium full of fans, just a few who truly believe in you.
These are the ones who genuinely believe in you and your dreams. They are the ones who see your potential, even when you may doubt yourself. Together, you’ll create a harmonious symphony of support and encouragement, inspiring each other to reach new heights.
So, my dear, build your squad—one that brings out the best in you, lifts you higher and believes in your limitless potential.
Quality over quantity, always.
12. Unplug From Technology
Go on a digital detox. Turn off your devices and connect with the real world. The only pings you need are the sounds of nature, not notifications. It’s refreshing, like a cold drink on a hot day.
Embrace the refreshing feeling that washes over you. Try to engage in activities that nourish your soul, such as reading a book, going for a walk, or spending quality time with loved ones.
Unplugging from technology provides a much-needed respite. It will allow you to recharge, find inner peace, and rediscover the beauty of life beyond screens.
13. Forgive Yourself for Past Mistakes
We all mess up. You’re human, not a robot. It’s time to forgive yourself. Holding onto past mistakes is like driving forward while looking in the rearview mirror. You wouldn’t do that, would you?
Dwelling on it hinders your progress and keeps you stuck in a loop of self-blame. I’ve been there, it never ends.
Just as you wouldn’t drive that way, it’s high time you release that weight of guilt. Grant yourself the grace to move forward.
All these are lessons learned. Appreciate your growth. Trust that you’re evolving into a better version of yourself. And by forgiving yourself, you open the door to self-acceptance, growth, and a brighter future.
14. Don’t Feel Guilty for Saying “No”. Value Your Time
Your time is precious, like a rare gem. Don’t let it slip through your fingers easily. Learn to say “no”. Remember, each time you say yes to something you don’t want, you’re saying no to something you do want.
Turn your boundaries on and choose what truly matters to you. With that, you’ll create space for the things that ignite your passion and make your soul sing. You’ve got this!
15. Read Books That Help You Understand What You Are Going Through
Books can be your best friends, your loyal companions.
When you dive into the pages of a book, it’s like immersing yourself in a profound conversation with a trusted confidant. Their words reach out to you, speaking directly to your soul. They share their experiences, wisdom, and insights, offering comfort and guidance along the way.
So, why not choose books that resonate with your unique situation? It’s like having a heart-to-heart conversation with someone who has been there, done that, and proudly wears the t-shirt.
16. Seek Therapy if You Can’t Handle by Yourself
It’s okay to ask for help. Even superheroes have sidekicks. Find a therapist you can trust, and let them guide you. There’s no shame in it. Remember, you’re not alone in this.
Letting it all out with a therapist is like finding a safe haven where you can truly be yourself. In that safe space, you can explore the depths of your emotions, untangle the knots in your mind, and find clarity amidst the chaos.
Remember, you’re not alone in this. Share your story and be at peace.
17. Set a Hiking Date With People You Enjoy
How about you plan a hiking date? Immerse in nature, and connect with your loved ones. Fresh air, good company, what’s not to love? It’s like a party, but healthier.
Imagine the combo of a breathtaking vista and an enjoyable company into one. It’s a perfect blend of tranquility and pure bliss.
So, lace up your hiking boots and let the serenity of nature wash over your souls.
18. Spend 5 Minutes Daily for Meditation
Did you ever find yourself drowning with racing thoughts? Find some quiet time for yourself. Meditate. It’s like giving your mind a spa treatment.
Picture this: clearing your mind, finding your zen, and experiencing a blissful state of calm.
Even if you can only spare 5 minutes, believe me, it’s worth it. Give yourself the gift of a mini-retreat from the chaos of everyday life.
Find a cozy spot, close your eyes, and let the gentle rhythm of your breath guide you into a peaceful state.
19. Practice Self-Compassion and Mindfulness
Be kind to yourself. Love yourself. Be present. These aren’t just fancy words, they’re a mantra for a better you. You deserve compassion, especially from the person who knows you best—yourself.
Let go of self-criticism and embrace self-love as a daily practice. Nurture your mind, body, and spirit with acts of kindness and self-care. Celebrate your successes, big and small, and be gentle with yourself during challenging times.
20. Set Firm Boundaries With People Around You
Just as fences make good neighbors, boundaries make healthy relationships. Stand your ground. This isn’t about being unkind, it’s about respecting yourself.
Boundaries should be your guideposts for your personal limits. Start by being firm and assertive when you express your boundaries.
Make sure you prioritize your needs and well-being. Don’t make it too hard for you to honor and value yourself. Create a balanced life where you feel heard, understood, and valued.
21. Write Down 5 Things You’re Grateful for Before Bedtime
What’s a better bedtime story than reminding yourself of what’s good in your life? Practice gratitude. It’ll help you sleep better than counting sheep or a lullaby.
Try this: as you lay in bed, take a few moments to reflect on the things you’re grateful for. Write them down. Or just think about those things. It could be as simple as the warmth of your cozy blankets or the laughter shared with loved ones.
Allow gratitude to fill your heart. Now, feel how it would bring a sense of peace and contentment within you. This invites tranquility into your nighttime routine.
So, sleep tight and drift off to dreamland.
22. Practice Patience: Self-Love Is a Journey, Not a Destination
Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. And neither is self-love. Be patient. It’s not a race, it’s a journey. So, take a deep breath and embrace the art of patience.
You should know by now that self-love is not a destination to rush towards. It should be a beautiful journey of self-discovery and growth. It should take time, effort, and gentle nurturing.
Immerse in each moment, both the highs and lows. With patience as your ally, you’ll witness the blossoming of self-love, blooming into a lasting and profound connection with yourself.
23. Self-Reflection
Go on a date with yourself! Get to know the fantastic person you truly are. INTROSPECT. Think about your thoughts, and reflect on your actions.
Set a date and try this out:
- Find your Sacred Space: Create a peaceful environment where you can retreat for self-reflection. It could be a cozy corner in your home, a serene park bench, or even a quiet café. Choose a place that helps you feel calm and focused.
- Disconnect from Distractions: Turn off your phone, close your laptop, and detach from external distractions. Give yourself the gift of uninterrupted time to fully engage in self-reflection. This will allow you to dive deeper into your thoughts and emotions.
- Ask the Right Questions: Pose thought-provoking questions to yourself. What are your values and passions? What brings you joy? What challenges have you faced, and what lessons have you learned? Reflect on these questions and let your mind explore the answers.
- Embrace Mindfulness and Meditation: Practice being present in the moment. Engage in mindfulness techniques and meditation to quiet the chatter of your mind. Observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment, allowing insights to arise naturally.
- Journaling and Expression: Grab a pen and a journal to capture your reflections. Write freely, expressing your thoughts, feelings, and discoveries. You can also explore other forms of creative expression like art, music, or dance to delve deeper into your self-reflection process.
24. Talk Kindly to Yourself
Let me drop some friendly advice your way: be your own biggest cheerleader!
Seriously, give yourself a pat on the back and throw some confetti in the air because you deserve it. Remember, the words you say to yourself hold so much power, so why not make them the kindest and most uplifting ones?
Picture this: you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and tell yourself, “Hey, you amazing human being! You’ve got this. Today is going to be filled with awesome adventures and incredible opportunities.” Can you feel the positive energy already?
Stop beating yourself up over mistakes or setbacks, be your own best friend. Offer words of encouragement like, “Hey, it’s okay to stumble. You’re learning and growing. You’ve got what it takes to overcome any challenge that comes your way!”
25. Treat Yourself the Way You Want to Be Treated
You hit the nail on the head with that one. The Golden Rule shouldn’t just be reserved for how we treat others—it applies to how we treat ourselves too.
So here’s a friendly reminder: treat yourself the way you want to be treated.
Imagine this scenario: a friend comes to you seeking comfort, support, and understanding. How would you respond? You’d likely shower them with kindness, respect, and love, right? Well, guess what? You deserve that same level of compassion and care.
It’s all too easy to be hard on ourselves, to nitpick our flaws, and focus on our shortcomings. But here’s the thing: you deserve better.
You deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and love by the most important person in your life—yourself.
26. Don’t Cry Alone, Reach Out to Someone You Trust
Hey, it’s perfectly okay to let your emotions flow. But you don’t have to face it alone. You don’t have to carry the weight alone. Share your burdens and make them easier to bear.
Remember, there will always be someone to reach out to and can lean on. Just allow yourself to be vulnerable. Seek support.
If tears are falling, reach out. It’s okay to lean on someone when times are tough. Sharing your emotions isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength.
Reach out, and let someone be there for you.
27. Practice Proper Breathing When You Feel Mentally Heavy
When life gets mentally heavy and the weight feels like it’s dragging you down, I’ve got a simple but powerful technique for you: just breathe.
Yup, you heard me right. Taking deep breaths can work wonders when it comes to finding some inner calm and relief.
So here’s the deal: find a comfortable spot, sit or lie down, and close your eyes if you’d like. Take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs with fresh air, and feel your belly expand. Then, exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing any tension or negativity with each breath.
As you continue to breathe deeply and consciously, you’ll notice something magical happening. Your heart rate starts to slow down, your muscles relax, and your mind begins to clear. It’s like a gentle wave washing over you, soothing your weary soul.
28. Decorate Your Space With Things That Make You Smile
How about creating your very own happy place? A space that’s bursting with joy and filled with things that make you smile. Sounds pretty amazing, right? Well, guess what? You have the power to make it happen!
Start by taking a look around your space. Fill it with things that make you smile. Maybe it’s a collection of colorful artwork, a shelf filled with your favorite books, or a cozy blanket that wraps you in comfort.
Get creative and personalize your space with items that reflect your unique personality and interests. Hang up photos of loved ones or cherished memories. Display trinkets and souvenirs from your travels.
Now, this is your happy place. So, every time you step in here, you’ll be greeted by an atmosphere that radiates joy. It’s like a big, warm hug for your soul.
29. Don’t Avoid Hard Conversations, Face Them Head On
I know, I know, it can be quite tempting to dodge those uncomfortable discussions like playing a game of dodgeball. But trust me, avoiding them isn’t the way to go. It’s time to gather your courage and tackle those challenging conversations like a pro.
Hard conversations may make you feel uneasy or anxious, but here’s the truth: they’re necessary for growth, understanding, and resolving conflicts. Just think of them as pulling out a splinter. It might sting a bit at first, but it’s ultimately better for your well-being in the long run.
When you avoid difficult conversations, issues tend to linger. Worst, they can weigh heavily on your mind and relationships. By facing them head-on, you open up the opportunity for honesty, clarity, and finding resolutions.
Now, I won’t sugarcoat it—hard conversations can be tough. But remember, my friend, you’re stronger than you think.
You might as well try these few tips to help you navigate those conversations:
- Choose the right time and place: Find a suitable setting where both parties can feel comfortable and have the space to express themselves without distractions.
- Be honest and compassionate: Speak from your heart, expressing your thoughts and feelings in a respectful and empathetic manner. Remember to actively listen to the other person’s perspective as well.
- Stay calm and composed: It’s natural for emotions to arise during challenging discussions, but do your best to maintain composure. Take deep breaths, pause if needed, and respond thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively.
- Seek understanding: Approach the conversation with a genuine desire to understand the other person’s point of view. Ask questions, listen actively, and be open to finding common ground.
- Focus on solutions: Instead of dwelling on blame or dwelling on past mistakes, shift the conversation toward finding solutions and creating positive outcomes.
So take a deep breath, gather your thoughts, and step into those difficult conversations with confidence. You’ve got this!
30. Don’t Let Anyone Make You Feel Little, Stand Up for Yourself
We live in a world where it’s easy for others to try and diminish our worth, but here’s the truth: you are unique, valuable, and deserving of respect.
Don’t ever let anyone make you feel like a background character in someone else’s narrative. You have the power to take center stage and embrace your own story.
When someone tries to belittle you or undermine your worth, it’s important to assert yourself. Speak up, and let your voice be heard. Set boundaries, express your needs, and stand firm in your beliefs.
Don’t let anyone make you feel little. Stand tall, be confident, and let your star shine. This is your story. You have the power to make it extraordinary.
31. Listen to Uplifting Music
Music is like having an emotional dial. We can turn it up whenever we need a boost. So, get ready to crank up the tunes that make you feel good!
Curate a playlist filled with songs that bring you joy, inspiration, and positivity. So, whenever you’re in need of a pick-me-up, hit play and let the music work its magic.
Allow yourself to get lost in the melodies. Sing along at the top of your lungs. Let the beats move your body. Let the lyrics inspire you, reminding you of your strength, resilience, and limitless potential.
Let it be the ultimate soundtrack to your incredible story.
32. Adequate Sleep: Rest Is Essential for Mental Health
Just like your body needs rest, your mind craves it too. So, don’t skimp on those precious Z’s.
Sleep is like hitting the reset button for your mind. It allows your brain to recharge, process the events of the day, and prepare for the challenges ahead. Without enough quality sleep, your mental well-being can take a toll.
Remember, your mental health deserves the gift of a good night’s sleep. Prioritize rest. It’s a non-negotiable part of your self-care routine. When you give your mind the rest it needs, you’ll wake up refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle the world.
33. Travel: It Broadens Perspective and Can Lead to Self-Discovery
Pack your bags and explore. Traveling opens your mind to new perspectives. Discover new places, discover yourself.
When you step outside of your comfort zone and venture into unfamiliar territories, something magical happens. You encounter new cultures, customs, and ways of life. Traveling challenges your preconceived notions and expands your understanding of the world.
But here’s the thing: travel isn’t just about exploring the external world. It’s also an opportunity to embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Away from the familiar, you have the freedom to reinvent yourself. You try new things and step outside of the roles and expectations that may have defined you back home.
You discover your own strengths, passions, and desires. You gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what truly matters to you.
34. Stay Hydrated: Water Intake Is Crucial for Overall Well-Being
Think of water as your body’s ultimate BFF. Like how you check out your bestie, make sure to keep those H2O levels in check as well.
When you stay hydrated, you’re giving your organs and systems the support they need to thrive. It’s like giving them a refreshing and rejuvenating drink that keeps everything running smoothly.
But hydration goes beyond just quenching your physical thirst. It also affects your mental and emotional well-being.
Dehydration can lead to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, mood swings, and even headaches. By staying properly hydrated, you’re giving your brain the nourishment it needs to stay sharp and focused.
So, how can you make sure you’re staying hydrated? Here are a few tips:
- Drink plenty of water: Make it a habit to sip on water throughout the day. Carry a reusable water bottle with you as a reminder to hydrate.
- Listen to your body: Pay attention to signs of thirst, dry mouth, or darker urine, as these are indicators that your body needs more fluids.
- Hydrate with other liquids: Besides water, incorporate hydrating beverages like herbal tea, coconut water, or infused water with fruits and herbs to add some flavor.
- Eat hydrating foods: Many fruits and vegetables have high water content, such as watermelon, cucumbers, oranges, and spinach. Include these in your diet to boost hydration.
- Be mindful during physical activity: When you’re exercising or sweating, increase your water intake to replenish the fluids you lose.
So, raise your glass (or water bottle) and toast to hydration! Your body, mind, and soul will thank you for it. Cheers to staying hydrated and feeling your best!
35. Do Regular Checkups
You’re absolutely right—caring for your physical health goes hand in hand with your mental well-being. Prioritize your overall health and make regular checkups a must.
Think of it as regular maintenance for your body. Remember, prevention is better than cure. Stay proactive and attend regular checkups. Take charge of your health and your well-being. It’s a powerful act of self-care.
You deserve to be your healthiest and happiest self. Prioritize your well-being and stay on top of your health. Let the regular maintenance of your body pave the way for a vibrant and fulfilling life.
36. Focus On Your Strengths: Identify and Celebrate Your Strong Points
Celebrate your strengths. You have so many! Focus on them. It’s time to give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.
Sometimes we tend to focus on our shortcomings and areas where we feel we fall short.
But here’s the thing: you have a unique set of strengths that set you apart and make you shine. It’s time to shift your focus and acknowledge all the amazing things you bring to the table.
Take a moment to reflect on your strengths—those qualities, skills, and talents that make you exceptional. Embrace them and acknowledge the positive impact they have on your life and the lives of those around you.
Take note, you are a powerhouse of strengths. Keep being amazing!
37. Go Easy On Yourself Whenever You Make Mistakes
Don’t be hard on yourself. Mistakes are part of the learning process. Go easy, forgive yourself. Remember, no one’s perfect.
We all make mistakes, my friend. It’s how we grow, learn, and evolve as individuals.
Instead of being hard on yourself when you stumble, treat yourself with compassion and understanding. You’re human. You’re bound to make mistakes.
And these mistakes are simply a part of the beautiful messiness of life.
38. Create a Healthy Mantra and Positive Affirmations
Create a mantra, a chant that uplifts you. Repeat positive affirmations. It’s like a pep talk you can give yourself anytime, anywhere.
Your mantra could be something like, “I am strong, capable, and deserving of all the good in my life.” Or perhaps, “I embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and learning.” Tailor your mantra to reflect what you need and what resonates with your unique journey.
Here are some examples of positive affirmations you can try:
“I am worthy of love, respect, and abundance.”
“I have the strength and resilience to overcome any challenge.”
“I am capable of achieving my goals and dreams.”
“I embrace change and trust in the process of life.”
“I am enough, just as I am.”
Choose affirmations that resonate with you, inspire you, and counter any negative self-talk or self-doubt. Repeat them daily. Let it be your truth. Let them become a guiding light in your life.
39. Try Something New
Step out of your comfort zone. Try new things. It can be exhilarating, yes. But remember, life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
The fear of the unknown can be powerful, but it shouldn’t hold you back. Take small steps. Challenge yourself incrementally. With every new experience, you’re adding vibrant colors to the canvas of your life.
So, go forth and try something new. Enter into an unknown horizon. Make your every moment count.

Mental self-love is important because it’s like the sturdy foundation that holds up the beautiful house of our well-being and happiness.
I’ll let you in on a little secret—I’ve been there too. There was a time when I didn’t give much thought to my mental well-being. But once I started showering my mind with love and care, everything changed.
By loving my mind, I realized that I deserved to prioritize my mental well-being. So, I indulged in activities that brought me joy, like dancing around my living room to hip-hop and reggae music or having a good ol’ laugh with my best friends.
I discovered that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential for my lovely healthy mind.

So, when we practice self-love, we radiate a confident energy that attracts positivity and respect from those around us. It’s like wearing an invisible crown of awesomeness.
