What is Self-Love?
Self-love is treating yourself in a way that does not involve harshly judging or punishing yourself for every mistake you make. It is having a high regard for your own happiness and well-being. It is taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. Simply, self-love is not settling for less than you deserve.
Studies show that self-love reduces anxiety and depression while promoting optimism. As well as, better recovery from stress and discipline for healthy behavior changes.
Six Ways to Practice Self-Love
Practice Self Care
Self-care is any activity you do in order to take care of your mental, emotional, and physical health. If you don’t already, you need to take care of yourself and do things that make you feel good.
Take a trip to the spa, get a facial or massage, buy a new outfit, get dressed up, take yourself out to lunch, exercise, eat healthily, etc. Treat yo self!

Choose Friends Wisely
Choose to be around those who will motivate and empower you. Show yourself love by surrounding yourself with those who uplift and radiate positivity as these traits will rub off on you. As the saying goes, ‘show me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are’.
Forgive Yourself
Let go and learn from the mistakes you have made in the past. You can not change what has already happened so stop torturing yourself by living in the past.
I recommend meditation or dynamic meditation to help you let go of negativity and live positively!
