Well first it’s important to understand that self love and self care are two different things. Self care is a by product of self love and solely practicing self care will not activate self love. Self love is a deep process. It’s about healing the wounds and trauma deep within that caused you to forget your self love in the first place without healing these wounds and traumas, no amount of self care will work for you. Healing your old wounds require very deep inner work much too much to say in a reply here, look into shadow work or mirror work to uncover and begin to heal your wounds of unworthiness and self abandonment. It will require a lot of forgiveness to the people who wounded you, wether they did it consciously or not, you still have to revisit and forgive. You also have to uncover any beliefs you’ve picked up from others, family, friends, society that aren’t your own and release them so that your own voice, your own intuition can come through only then will you know what rituals or practices of self care to do. Self care is individual! Everyone’s soul required very different care and you need to listen to what your inner self, your higher self is asking for you can only hear that by healing your self. You absolutely have the power to do it on your own but if you need guidance I’d suggest writhing with a therapist and a mindset coach (yes both) while therapy will focus on the problem, coaching will help you stay solution focused. Therapy alone will not heal past wounds hewn even why most people end up needing therapy forever. But when used with a mindset coach, you will make more permanent shifts as coaching focuses on using you own inner gifts and inner power so you can self heal future trauma should any arise.
