Loving yourself does not mean that you hold yourself in higher regard than you do other people, or think you are more important.
It is simply the act of being kind to yourself, and not judging yourself too harshly. It is nourishing yourself and taking care of your physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Self-love requires you to be honest with yourself about how you feel about yourself, your choices and your current situation in life.
To not have expectations that are too high and to not talk to yourself in a negative way.
It can be difficult to accept that you are worthy of unconditional love. To not push yourself too hard and accept yourself without judgement.
Journaling is an effective way to start your self-love journey. It is often much easier to be completely honest when you are the only one who will see it.
