How to Start Loving Yourself

Self-love includes setting healthy boundaries, taking time for yourself every day to do something that brings you joy, expressing gratitude for the good things in your life, focusing on positive thoughts about yourself, taking care of your physical health through exercise and a nutritious diet, and practicing affirmations.

It can also involve doing activities that help build positive self-esteem, such as writing down compliments you receive or listing three things you like about yourself each day. Additionally, try to avoid negative self-talk and forgive yourself for mistakes. Self-love is a process of self-care, understanding, acceptance, and self-improvement.

By engaging in these practices, you can foster healthier relationships with yourself and cultivate a happier, more balanced mental state.
