#becauseUmatter Connect - Focus on Loving


Here are some ideas on ways to love yourself and love others

  • Love yourself
    • Write in a journal every day
    • Tell yourself 5 things you like about yourself every day
    • Appreciate your talents, beauty, intelligence, and skills
    • Appreciate everything other people do for you
    • Stop the negative self-talk - start the positive self-talk
    • Spend more time with friends, but don't neglect your studies
    • Compliment everyone. They'll likely return the favor
    • Distance yourself from those who bring you down
      • “Your friends in life should motivate, respect, and inspire you. Your circle should be well rounded and supportive…. Quality over quantity always.”
    • Do things by yourself
      • Walking in nature
      • Creating art
      • Listening to music
      • Cooking
  • Love others
    • Show someone that you really care about them
      • go out for coffee with them, make small gifts for your friends (like a framed photo of all of you together), etc
    • Offer to help someone out
      • tutoring, cleaning their room, doing homework together…
    • Do random acts of kindness
    • Compliment everyone
