Loving yourself is the first thing you should do before you are ready to love others. Showing self-love is a sign of confidence and high self-esteem. Having the ability to love yourself shows that you are comfortable in who you are, and you are able to go out in the world and have a good time not caring what others think about you.

Why we fail with habit change?

When developing a habit there are proven strategies and models like The Fogg Behavioral Model helps us understand the steps to follow and what to avoid. But, sometimes even taking the smallest step towards your goal seems overwhelming.

The common obstacles most of us face are lack of energy and/or motivation, bad mood, or just being busy and forgetting.

Here are some obstacles you might face on your journey with Learn to Love Yourself.

Acknowledge what makes it challenging to show up, and then prepare well. Only then will you be on your way to conquering these setbacks:

How to succeed

The basic rule is that success breeds success -- at least in habit development. Set your daily goal so low that there is no way you can fail. Start small and succeed. After a week or so, after you have gotten used to getting started then and you can raise the stakes -- to make it more challenging for yourself.

The second important thing is to be prepared. That is what psychologists and therapists do: They coach the client to cope with a situation when it arrives. The setbacks and tough moments will come, but the question is: Are you prepared to handle those?

To successfully achieve meaningful lifestyle changes one should look to the future. What do you want to achieve in the long run? One failure does not break a habit. Usually we know exactly what to do, but we don't do it. This is called the intention–behavior gap. It happens when we don't go through with the things we want like weight loss or saving money; we know what we should do, but we don't do it.

That is why this coaching app exists. It teaches you how to execute your plan and achieve your goals. And most importantly you learn about yourself and how you behave!

Sometimes you lack the motivation, have no energy, or are in a bad mood. When this happens, you will already have a plan in place so that all you’ll need is a simple "nudge" to get started.

Reasons for change

Learn to Love Yourself is proven to improve health in the long term and increase well-being. Here are some of the reasons why to get started and make it a habit.
  • I want to be satisfied with myself, free me from negative thoughts which consume my energy

  • More self-confidence

  • Increase subjective happiness

  • When I love myself, it's easier to love others

  • When I love myself, I have no time to hate

  • I want to be an example and be an inspiration to other people

  • Being at ease with oneself creates a sense of satisfaction

Replace a habit or make it stick

You should bind the goal or the repeatable task to an existing habit -- another already established daily routine.

Another way to integrate a new behavior into your life is to replace an old habit with a new one. It will be more challenging because you are getting completely rid of a current habit, but it will be the best for you in the long run. The gap needs to be filled.

Don't forget to you learn how to create routines.

What habits are suitable for you to reach your final goal?

Making health habitual

It's no longer a secret that you can prevent, treat, and cure chronic diseases. It's all about making healthy choices that will improve your quality of life. Even if you don't immediately notice the changes, know that they are happening. If you want lasting results, you will need to be more patient with the process.

Learn to Love Yourself is just one of hundreds of habits that keep the body healthy. Maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, avoiding excessive stress and alcohol, getting enough sleep, staying physically active, and eating a healthy diet are all important factors, and all contribute to the energy levels that enable you to enjoy life. You can create a complete lifestyle medicine plan and begin developing habits that fit your needs.

Understand the big picture: A healthy lifestyle is about lasting change. Successful weight loss is not about short-term dieting and restrictive eating, although this is why most fad diets fail.

Improved health is about better daily choices combined with long-term behavior change -- it's about your daily habits.

Routines are the key to success

We all have our own daily routines and changing them is hard.

Below you will find a few habits that every one of us can do, but usually don't. All of them have an impact on our hormones, energy, focus, health, and how you will feel the next day.

  • Drink water
  • Sleep eight hours
  • Keep moving

All of them help to burn calories and lose weight. All of them help improve the skin's quality and prevent diseases. All of them are relatively easy to repeat daily. Many people have figured out ways to integrate the routines into their lives and you can too!

If you hire a coach or get an app now, you can change your routines in the coming weeks and begin to see results in the next couple of months. There are hundreds of habits in the app and most of them are so easy to do that you can begin immediately. You don't even need a coach, the app will provide you with instructions to get started.

First, decide what you want and then get busy achieving it. The life you want starts with positive daily routines.
