At JuvaBun, weâre proud to walk the walk - and talk the talk. We work very hard so that everything we put into our little JuvaBun store that could actually make sense with what JuvaBun means to us.
Here are the four things you can do to love yourself:
1. Recognize that Loving Yourself is Ongoing Work!
Paulina (one of our models), describes her relationship with her body as a love-hate one. âThere are days where I like my body and there are others where weâre not on good terms,â she says. However, she accepts that and realizes that some days are going to be more challenging than others and that thatâs ok.
Everyoneâs allowed to have an off day. The important thing is to decide to get back up and start killing it today!
2. Realize That Everyone Is On the Same Journey to Accept Themselves
âI donât like my belly,â Paulina tells us if we ask if she has any hangups. âBut I mean, who does?â The first step to loving yourself is realizing that EVERYONE has hangups, even if we canât tell theyâre there. I mean, if a gorgeous model is talking about hersâŚ
The magic lies in accepting these self-perceived âflawsâ (which, as most of our friends will tell us, are probably 99% imagined) as such and not making them into something that determines who we are. We are not our hangups. We are not our bodies. We need to understand we are so much more than that.
3. Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
âI think to love yourself is to stop comparing yourself to others,â Paulina tells us. âEach of us is so different from one another - there are no two people who are the same. So why compare?â And weâve got to say, sheâs got a point - and isn't the first strong lady to share this particular insight with us.
âWe can never be the same,â she says. âAnd those imperfections are what make us who we areâ. Amen to that! The grass will always be greener on the other side - this is something we just need to accept. Once you do, youâll see itâs so easy to just forget about it!
4. Talk To Yourself in a Positive Way
âInstead of dwelling on the things that weâre not happy about, why not sit down every morning and think âwhat are the five things that I DO like about myselfâ,â Paulina suggests. Getting to a point where you accept your body for what it is and truly love yourself is definitely hard work and, as with anything else, requires that we exercise. Only in this case, instead of a muscle, weâre working on our very own self-esteem!
Try Paulinaâs trick for a short, 5-minute daily routine of self-flattery. Youâll feel silly at first but, once youâve done it for a whole week, youâll slowly start realizing youâll be thinking about yourself differently, in a far more positive light. After all, weâre always trying hard to be kind to others - why not also start being kind to ourselves?
