10 Ways to Love Yourself a Little More Today
10 Simple Ways to Prioritize Yourself and Embrace Self-Love in the New Year
As 2025 comes to a close, how are you feeling about the new year? Excited? Overwhelmed? Or wondering, “Is this all life has to offer?”
Life moves fast, and too often, women let themselves slip to the bottom of the priority list. Between work, family, and community obligations, our own dreams and desires fade into the background. Whether you call them goals, resolutions, or aspirations, they deserve attention—and so do you.
Here are 10 ways to slow down and show yourself some love:
1. Spend time alone – Embrace silence and stillness. Listen to your breath, the birds, the wind. Reconnect with your mind, body, and soul.
2. Go for a walk outside – Sunshine boosts your mood, and walking engages your senses. Movement sparks creativity and clarity.
3. Journal – Clear your mind. Write your feelings, gratitude, or a brain dump. Revisit your thoughts with fresh perspective.
4. Smell essential oils – Chamomile calms, citrus uplifts, rosemary sharpens focus. Engage your senses in small, soothing rituals.
5. Tackle one goal – Start small, pick a goal you can accomplish, and celebrate the win. Confidence grows from action.
6. Treat yourself to solo outings – Watch a movie or dine alone. Enjoy your own company and nurture your most important relationship: the one with yourself.
7. Donate – Giving boosts self-esteem, lowers stress, and fosters purpose. Time, clothes, or small contributions all count.
8. Review legal documents – Prepare for the unexpected. A will, health proxy, or other documents provide peace of mind.
9. Write a letter to your future self – Include a photo and your goals. Seal it and revisit it in a year—or more—to reflect on your growth.
10. Plan a mini “me vacation” – Explore a new place, unplug from social media, journal your experiences, and reflect on what you discover about the world—and yourself.
Your relationship with yourself is the most important one you will ever have. Strip away the roles you play—mother, spouse, employee, friend—and focus on the bond with you. Nourish it. Love it. Cherish it.
