Each day I will post one suggestion for you to follow to practice self-love, it’s a 30-day self-love challenge! Some days will be as simple as today’s suggestion, and some days may take more effort and planning.
Today’s suggestion is for you to close your eyes, breathe and hug yourself for one minute. You can set the timer to go off after one minute and you will see how it goes pretty quickly. Make sure to stay away from the computer or turn down the sound, so that you don’t have any distractions for that one minute.
I’ve also added the mantra “I love myself”, and repeated it with my eyes closed. This picture was taken a few seconds after I started this breathing/hug/meditation. You can choose to do it only once, or you can repeat it a few times throughout the day.
Cheers to a month of self-love and kindness towards ourselves. You can also follow the challenge on Facebook.
Yesterday I signed up for the BlogHer NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) challenge, which is a challenge to write a blog a day in November 2013. The theme I chose is a series of daily self-love practices. I have been working on this project for a while, and the BlogHer challenge seemed like the perfect timing to launch it.

I started the challenge today I'm late. I like the one minute hug for myself. Afterwards I felt calmer than before I did it. Thanks

Joy,
That's awesome! Repeat it as needed! 😉
Here is a virtual hug,
