It’s what healed my eating disorder. It’s what made me let go of my past. It’s what’s patched my broken soul back together and it’s what keeps me grounded, loved and balanced on a daily basis.
It’s a part of my life that I cannot and will not do without ever again. I’m passionate about it and I want to share the wonders of it with the world.
However, there was a time when self-care seemed elusive too me, something that was for others but certainly not for me. I had no idea how to get started or what to do and I know that you feel the same way too.
In order to lower the barrier of entry to your very own self-care practice, I’ve written down the 22 most important self-love questions.
Not all of them are easy to answer, so be patient with yourself and always show compassion. The answers may vary from day to day as you grow and evolve. Give yourself some room to breathe and dig deep into your longings, your needs and your wants and slowly start to fall in love with yourself again.

How often have you copied the same goals from year to year, giving promises of 100% fulfillment? But suddenly – December is on the nose, and everything conceived remains on paper. You reproach yourself, scold, do not understand why you are so lazy and do not keep your promises. However, as a rule, the matter is completely different – these are simply not your goals.
Sit down and talk to yourself. Define what self-love means to you. Define the goals, having reached which, you will feel satisfied, calm and cheerful. If you feel that you want to first live for yourself, and closer to 30 years to have a baby, then you do not need to record “Have two children under 25 years old.” Yes, it may be so accepted in our society, but this is not what you specifically want.
Can I rely on myself?
This is a very serious matter. Can you create the life you dream about on your own, without counting on anyone, without asking anyone for help? The behavior and thoughts of people are so unpredictable that your existence can change in one second at the behest of the person on whom you depend. Self-love means your life should only be in your hands. It doesn’t matter how close you are to people, what plans you are building, you only have you. Learn to support yourself, find your interests, fall in love with life alone. This is good self love.
What do I need to be more at peace with myself?
Being completely at peace with yourself is a huge leap of faith to take, but oh so rewarding. This question invites you to dig deep and find out more about the needs that you have for yourself.
