Self Love – Love Yourself
Self-love is essential to our happiness, relationships and dreams, but it can be hard to know HOW to love yourself. I’ve put together a list of Lessons below to help you get started.
If you are not going to cheer ‘you,’ who will? If you don’t love you, who will? Ask yourself these questions.
“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.”
– Lucille Ball
Lesson 1:
Mirror Mirror on the wall:
Start each day by telling yourself something really positive. What you tell yourself is who you are. People’s opinions of you do not matter. What is important is what you tell that person in the mirror each day, that ‘I am beautiful’, ’I am Intelligent’, Anything that will make you smile .Every great thing we celebrate started with a thought. What you focus on focuses on you.

Lesson 8 :
Make a ‘What’s working for you list’:
Make a list of what’s really working for you. Write it down in a paper and once you see it on paper and accept all of the positivity in your life, it will make it easier to love yourself. Go through it again and again when you feel down. Your blessings and positivity gives a fresh energy when you feel depressed.

Getting rid of old things will make room for new things to come in to your life! Cleansing your mind can sometimes work in the form of letting go of clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. that remind you of a certain time in your life that links to a negative vibration.

Lesson 12 :
No more Comparisons:
They is no one on the planet like you .Remember that you are perfect just the way you are; being in a pattern of compare and despair only makes you focus on the negative, when there’s SO much to be grateful for. The only person you should compare yourself to is you.

Lesson 16 :
Learn to Letgo:
We’re constantly holding on to things in our past, and it can tend to weigh heavy on our souls and even give us low self-esteem. The more blocks we clear, the more we can really live big in the area of self-love. Although we may do this as a way to protect ourselves from hurting, it’s really only holding us back from moving forward to reaching optimal self-acceptance and loving who we are.
Lesson 17 :
Be your best version:
Often do something you are good at. Feel this is a self-esteem booster, Yes, no doubt .. This is! Get creative and express yourself in whatever way you like.
