It’s the month of love, but here at Styelle Swim, we like to call it the month of self-love. From showering our besties, partners and family with cards to flowers, Valentine's Day is officially beyond us, but why forget to show ourselves some love or gratitude? It’s important to love ourselves all year round, not just for a holiday. But how can we take care of ourselves in this fast-paced society? Here at Styelle we're here to help you learn to do just that…

Meditate

Take anything from 2 minutes to 20 to just breathe! Get comfortable sitting with yourself and silencing your brain, learning to control and master your thoughts is the kindest thing you can do for yourself. This small action can become a habit that impacts your entire life and allows you to embrace the positive thoughts. Why not start with the Calm app today? 

Evening Skincare Unwind

Self-discipline is self-care. Take time every evening to unwind, so your body and brain know it's signified time to shut off after work or your long day. Make taking your makeup off and applying your night time skincare a ritual that you can’t wait for. Play your favourite song, add in a step that brings you joy such as an ice roller or even use it as a time to focus on your breathing and meditate. (Remember meditation can take many forms!)

Taking You Time

Take time to do the things YOU enjoy, life is about balance. Whether that’s getting cosy in your PJs with a hot chocolate and watching your favourite comfort show or heading to the beach for a morning swim in your Styelle bikini that makes you feel the most confident version of yourself. Life’s too short to not take time for you.

Reading 

Get off your phone, out of your head and immerse yourself in a self-help book. Learn to drown out the noise of everyday life and focus on yourself, there are so many options of incredible self-help books for whatever it is you need in life, from finding yourself, learning manifestation or stopping your people-pleasing ways, there’s a book for everything. It’s time to put yourself first. Don’t know where to start? Vex King’s Good Vibes, Good Life is a go-to. 

Date Yourself

Stop waiting for others to do things, get comfortable with yourself and learn to enjoy your own company. Take yourself out for coffee, to the cinema or to the bookstore. Get so comfortable with your own company that you look forward to going places alone. Becoming your own best friend and fuelling yourself with self-love will lift your energy!
