14 Ways to Love Yourself

And if I asked you to name all the things you love, how long would it take for you to name yourself?

Love is a many splendored thing, and self-love is no exception.

Self-love means being gentle, kind, considerate, compassionate, and understanding towards ourselves when we suffer, fail, or feel inadequate. It is about having a high regard for our own well-being and happiness by taking care of our own needs, and not sacrificing those needs to please others.

Loving your self creates and builds self-respect, -esteem, -worth, -confidence, and compassion. When we put consistent care and effort into truly loving ourselves – not from a place of selfishness or conceit, but from a humble place that embraces wholeness and wellness, that makes us stronger, healthier, more joyful and content – we are then better capable of loving, serving, and giving to others.

You are worthy of the same love…
