The Anxiety Meditation 
Introduction
Most of us do not know or practice self-love. This can be due to factors like ignorance, negligence, or busy lifestyles. It is important to love yourself. You can love others only if you start to love yourself. It will help you to become a much better and improved version of yourself. You can practice the following to start loving yourself:
Eat Healthy and Nutritious Food
You should give yourself healthy and nourishing food always if you want to love yourself. The food you eat is the fuel for your body and mind. You should always avoid eating junk and unhealthy food as you will doing a great disservice to yourself by eating such food items. You should eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and fresh food instead of consuming packaged and processed food. You should also drink sufficient water to keep yourself hydrated and healthy.
Get Adequate Sleep
Getting sufficient sleep is very important for being physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy. Due to an excessively busy lifestyle and ever-growing professional commitments, most people end up sacrificing their sleep to work for longer hours. This is a very dangerous habit to pursue in the long run as it can deplete your health drastically. In your journey towards self-love, you should ensure that you get sufficient sleep daily. This will reenergize you and prepare you to meet life’s challenges better.
Be Physically Active
Being physically active is very important for loving yourself. Due to our busy lifestyle, we hardly take time out to exercise or get involved in a sport of your choice. You should stay physically fit and workout regularly. If you can take up a sport which stimulates you, then it is even better for your physical and mental health. You can also try dancing if it excites you. Staying physically active is not only good for your health, it can also make you a more jovial and fun person.
Appreciate and Pamper Yourself
We are so busy and occupied with achieving things in life that most of us do not take time to review on what have we achieved thus far. It is important to take stock of your achievements and appreciate and maybe even pamper yourself for achieving each planned milestone. This will help you to become more motivated in life to achieve larger goals. Self-appreciation also boosts your self-esteem and makes you believe in your worth for achieving more challenging life goals. You can always look back and reflect on the progress made in your life and where you want to head from there.
Forgive Yourself
Everyone makes mistakes in life and you should be accommodative of it. You should realize that mistakes are a part of life and not admonish yourself for too long for it. If you lament your mistakes regularly, then you will be unable to forgive yourself which will become a barrier towards your self-love. If you truly want to love yourself, you should practice self-forgiveness. When you do so, you make peace with your mistakes and wrong-doings in the past and move ahead to look for better things in the future. You can practice meditation which will help you in self-forgiveness.
