What it really means to love yourself... • Recognising you are still lovable and worthy, even it those dear to you could not love/respect you. • Becoming self-compassionate, & embracing imperfection. • Taking responsibility for your healing and surrounding yourself by people who celebrate you. • Recognising that self-care is self-maintenance. • Cheering yourself on even during the tough days (and allowing rest when need be). What it is not... • Placing our worth on others approval/love or external achievements. • Never taking the time to reflect on our errors/the learning curves (as we are imperfect beings). • Only loving yourself when things are going well. • Comparing yourself to others. • Having a sense of entitlement, where you believe you are always owed something...
