I have always encouraging those around me to self-love. It is easier said than done. More often we always put ourselves last or mistaken self-love for self-esteem. I suffer from self-esteem as I always feels that I am not good enough. This is how I started self-love. Why self-love, you may asked. Well, self-love; I believed is the foundation of all things. We will start to appreciate ourselves for who we really are. Self-loves comes from within and not from the material things that we possessed. Think about it; If we don't love ourselves, we can’t expect anyone else to truly love us. This is how I started to open my world to self-love.

How I started self-love?
I started with only 2 steps and gradually increased to 4 steps. Changes takes time but nothing happens if you don't take action.
Instead of creating baby steps like I did, you can try taking time out to nourish your mind, body, and soul which can include Yoga and alone time or even cooking. All this helps calm you down and eventually helps to focus better.
Till next post.
With love,
