1. Practice meditation daily. Quiet the mind and go within.
2. Notice your judgment of the outside world (good/bad) and try to neutralize this binary.
3. Practice compassion—smile at a stranger, allow someone to go before you when you are waiting in line, help someone who is struggling with heavy bags, and so on. Allow yourself to also receive compassion from strangers.
4. Spend time alone in self-reflection and take pleasure in solitude.
5. Do something every day (as much as you can) that fills your heart with joy. Do it for yourself and not the approval of others.
6. Practice gratitude. Write a list of what you are thankful for, take a moment when you eat breakfast to appreciate your meal, your health, and your journey.
7. Remove yourself from social situations when you notice you are speaking negatively. Acknowledge and accept that your life is the result of your choices and any perceived struggles are there to teach you a lesson and strengthen your self-love.
8. Treat your body like a temple. Eat healthily, respect when it is full or needs rest, don’t push, and be mindful of the energy you allow into it.
9. Express your feelings openly without fear of being judged. Try to be less defensive and do not speak into existence things that are not in line with your heart’s desires. Be honest.
10. Forgive yourself and others constantly. Don’t hold grudges.

It is in the pursuit of self-love that a human can learn to reconnect with their authentic self and feel the wholeness that most spend their entire lives trying to find in the external world. The self is seeking for you to find the balance between masculine and feminine so that you may live in a state of harmony.                                                               From Elephant Journal 2019
