Boost Your Immune System with Self-Love!

Research reveals that self-love has a positive impact on your immune system. But how can you learn to love yourself more? We provide 3 tips!

In a 2019 study conducted at the University of Oxford and Exeter, scientists found that positive affirmations and self-compassion lead to reduced heart rate, decreased perspiration, and enhanced relaxation. This relaxation supports the body's self-healing abilities, both physically and mentally. It's a self-given boost for your immune system!

So, how can you nurture more self-love and self-compassion? Here are 3 tips:

1. Use Affirmations and Affirmation Cards

Affirmations can be a powerful tool for reshaping your thought patterns. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to operate on autopilot, forgetting the importance of being kind to ourselves. Reminding yourself throughout the day can help you consciously change the way you relate to yourself and modify your self-talk. Place notes with beautiful and loving affirmations around your home, in your car, or at your workplace. Write down the opposite of how your inner critic speaks to you, and be as compassionate with yourself as you would with a dear friend. This helps you establish a new self-talk pattern. 

Affirmation cards or self love cards come in super handy for this!

2. Begin a Self-Love Journal

Writing helps you better internalize and focus on your thoughts. Start a Self-Love Diary where you become your most significant supporter! For instance, create a daily list of five things you did well that day and another list of five reasons why you are proud of yourself or why you love yourself. These don't have to be grand achievements; true growth often stems from recognizing everyday accomplishments. You can incorporate this into your routine by starting your day with it during breakfast or, alternatively, reflect at the end of the day, while sipping a cup of tea in bed. Consistency and repetition are essential when building new habits!

3. Embrace a Gemstone for Support

Gemstones emit unique vibrations and are associated with distinct meanings that can influence and support you. Even if you aren't entirely convinced of the metaphysical properties of gemstones, you can still use them as reminders of your self-love journey.

Various gemstones can assist in developing self-love, with Rose Quartz being the most renowned. Rose Quartz is believed to promote the growth and attraction of self-love while strongly affecting the heart chakra. This stone encourages individuals to be gentler with themselves, stay true to their essence, and find more inner peace and self-acceptance.

For example, carry a piece of rose quartz with you or keep it on your bedside table. You can also hold a rose quartz crystal during meditation, focusing on nurturing self-love.
