The Importance of Self Love

Definition: regard for one’s own well-being and happiness (chiefly considered as a desirable rather than narcissistic characteristic).

I can see why a lot of people dislike Valentine’s day. They think of it as a cheesy romantic couples holiday. But what if we were to look at it differently? What I mean by that is, think of it as a day of self-love and love for those around you. Last year I learned a valuable lesson: it is essential that you love yourself. Only then can you understand what it truly means to be loved.

That’s why this year I am celebrating the importance of self-love and the love of the people around me.

I encourage all of you to practice a bit of self-love by not being so hard on yourself, accepting your flaws, acknowledging your accomplishments, and spreading joy to those around you.
