How To Fall In Love With Yourself
I used to believe that the path to falling in love with myself would be a linear journey, and at the end of it, I’d discover the secret to deep, lifelong self-love.
What I’ve learned, though, is that this path is very much non-linear. There may be days when you feel like you’ve uncovered the secret to everlasting joy and love, and then one day, something happens, and you start to question everything you thought you knew. You may doubt yourself. You may wish you could change certain parts of you. And during these times, you may feel like you’ve taken a step back in your journey.
I was doing so well, you think. And now I’ve messed up and ruined it all.
But here’s the truth:
Those steps back? They aren’t steps back at all. They’re actually opportunities to move forward. When you encounter an experience that triggers something painful within, the Universe isn’t trying to hurt you or push you backwards on your path. It’s allowing you the opportunity to release old feelings and beliefs in order to grow.
These experiences also give you the chance to practice self-compassion. When you recognize negative energy within, instead of chastising yourself, you have the opportunity to say, “I see my pain. I see my fears. I recognize that I’ve made mistakes and that I don’t always react to situations as my highest self. And that’s okay. Because no matter what, I am still worthy of unconditional love and compassion.”
This path to falling in love with yourself isn’t paved in perfection.
It’s paved in compassion. In forgiveness. In honoring every part of you, both your light and your shadows.
Falling in love with yourself isn’t simply the destination you seek. It is the journey. It’s the path you walk upon. It’s the tiny things you do for yourself every single day. And it’s allowing yourself to believe that no matter what you do or don’t do, you are always worthy. Right now. Just as you are. Today and always.

Practices For Falling In Love With Yourself
There is no single path to falling in love with yourself that will look the same for everyone. But here are some of the practices that may help you in your journey:
- Practice self-compassion daily.
- See yourself as an extension of the Universe: limitless, infinite, whole, eternal, and filled with unconditional love.
- Align with your highest self: the real and true you. This is the infinite, everlasting part of you that is unchanged by external circumstances and experiences. Your highest self knows the right path and often doesn’t operate in the logical mind but in the heart. Listen to the wisdom of this part of yourself.
- Practice accepting love from yourself and others, even you make a mistake.
- When you feel like you have no energy, don’t try to push forward anyway. Take a step back. In those moments, ask your soul what it needs. Then, pour it into yourself.
- Don’t suppress negative emotions. Allow them to flow within and through you. You can only release them by feeling your way through them. And sometimes, this requires breaking down, screaming, yelling, and allowing the tears to fall unapologetically.
- Meet yourself where you are now. Maybe you’re not where you want to be, but you can still love yourself right now as you continue to grow.
- Meditate. Journal. Practice stillness. Take long walks. Read. Stretch. But don’t do any of these things just because you feel like you should do them. Do what feels good to you. (And know that what feels good to you can change daily, and that’s okay.)
- Celebrate your small wins just as much as your big ones.
- Honor your heart. Honor your inner knowing. Honor the wisdom that exists within. No matter what someone else says, you’re the only one who ultimately knows what’s best for you.
