Love Thyself

Self-love and self-care are not the same. Getting a massage, taking a hot bath, or turning off the phone are forms of self-care, which is a part of self-love. Self-love is prioritizing your needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others.


When we hold ourselves in high esteem, we are more likely to make choices that nurture our well-being, which serve our higher selves and society. Not to be confused with narcissism, self-love is a holistic way of being. 


Whether it be within specific relationships or life in general, understanding our value and worth prevents us from settling for less than we deserve. Learning to let go of those behaviors that no longer allow us to grow is a pathway to ultimate happiness, love, and balance.


Self-love is linked to increased resilience, which in turn keeps us happier and healthier. When practiced daily by nourishing ourselves with wholesome activities, sound nutrition, proper sleep, exercise, and balanced social interactions, it acts as a catalyst in shifting the energy and altering our perspective, thus allowing for a deeper capacity to see things with an uplifted mindset.


Life is short, and in the end, the regrets will be that time ran out before we were able to do the things that gave us joy. Take the time to bask in yourself, bathing in self-love.
