Practising some regular self-nurturing is a great way to help you feel better about yourself, rebuild your confidence, sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Though it is amazing to be looked after and nurtured by others, don’t rely solely on them for nurturing – you need to take responsibility for yourself.

My top 5 steps to Nurturing Yourself

Take good care of yourself

Make sure you eat right and get plenty of rest, sleep, fresh air and exercise. Keep yourself healthy and fit. Practising good self-care is an essential part of this process.

Do nice things for yourself

Get into the habit of doing special things for yourself. Create a Morning Ritual and Evening Ritual. Visit the sauna, get a massage or draw yourself a bath filled with Olverum Bath Oil. Linger in it and relax. Make yourself a candlelight dinner — a delicious meal in a special setting.

Set healthy boundaries with others

Let people know what you want and don’t want. Tell them what’s okay for you and what’s not.

Be compassionate with yourself

Have compassion for yourself – flaws and all. Remember; you are human and you’re going to make mistakes – we all do! Don’t punish or criticise yourself. Reassure yourself. Comfort yourself. Accept yourself unconditionally.
