The term ‘Self-love’ can sound like a marketing gimmick, but how can we practice it irl?

Valentine’s Day can be a wonderful occasion to celebrate and manifest the love from within. But with an influx of expectations from peers, loved ones and even family- the whole purpose of the occasion can sometimes get lost in translation. Located in the heart of France, Altearah Bio continues to champion the need for self-reflection, rejuvenation, and inner peace through their organic emotive cosmetics range (without the added drama).

While there are multiple ways to practice self-love in our everyday routines, here are a few quick ways to keep our minds balanced amongst stressful circumstances:

1. Comparison is a big no-no!

Comparison can be the key to fueling negative or bitter emotions in the grand scheme of things. Not being able to value your offering or self-worth can harbor some pretty damaging thoughts in the long run. Oftentimes, we place our importance on material wealth, social relevance or status without acknowledging and healing the unrequited love that we have for ourselves from within.

Colour Connection: Our Pink-Tenderness* range facilitates a great reconciliation with yourself, connecting our senses to mental, emotional, and physiological well-being.

2. Affirmations for days!

After numerous test studies and social experiments, it’s safe to say that affirmations can benefit anybody in their daily routines. Look in the mirror, admire a quality that you appreciate about yourself and praise away! We admit that it can feel vain in the beginning, but trust in the exercise- and you can feel like a million bucks almost instantaneously.

Colour Connection: Our Red-Vitality* range promotes instant rejuvenation and flow of energy for better concentration and focus. What better way to combine the verbal with the physical with this bold synergy.

3. Process your emotions!

Life can be complex and chaotic especially during unforeseen obstacles, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Never has there been more importance on mental health and well-being than right now. Balance is of the essence, so why not reflect on our own emotions while we process our day-to-day lives? A great way to acknowledge our feelings is by communicating our thoughts, either verbally or by penning them down.

Colour Connection: Our Violet-Balance* synergy encourages you to adapt, be self-aware, and set needed boundaries in helping you create a positive equilibrium in your life.

On a day dedicated to love and showing the particular person in your life how much they are adored, it’s also time to focus inwards and indulge in a celebration of oneself.  With an unprecedented year behind us and new beginnings on the horizon in 2022, it’s time to focus on ourselves and to celebrate self-compassion this Valentine’s Day and beyond.
