Self-love takes effort. You are worth it! Self-love is about learning to be compassionate toward yourself and valuing the person you are. Self-love and self-acceptance allow us to be compassionate with ourselves and start building acceptance from within, when it may be hard to find love and acceptance from people in our lives.

So how do we work toward that?

1. Spend time with yourself. Do the things that bring you joy.

2. Create some positive affirmations for yourself (will do a longer post about that later!)

3. Engage in some journaling - what do you love about yourself?

4. Set boundaries - it’s okay to choose yourself over demands that don’t feel aligned with
your values.

5. Look at a photo of yourself from childhood. Remind yourself that you are still that same
person that deserves love, compassion, and protection.

What are some ways that you practice self-love?
