What is Self-Love you may wonder? You know the way we tend to nitpick every little thing wrong with us when we look in the mirror? When we care too much and listen to others and what they think about us? When we believe the negative thoughts in our head about how we feel about ourselves and believe the negative things that others have said? Well if we worked on ourselves and started to believe that we are nothing but amazing as we are and change the thoughts in our head that tells us otherwise, we can achieve self-love. Self-love is defined as “love of self” further, “an appreciation of one’s own worth or virtue, proper regard for and attention to one’s own happiness or well-being”.
Achieving self-love is not an overnight process but rather a journey and such a beautiful one when you wake up and realize that you are a gift to the world and no one can tell you or make you believe otherwise.
Check out this playlist for amazing inspirational and empowering songs to help you on your journey to self-love. You can watch each video or scroll to the bottom of this post for the playlist on Spotify.

Just be true to who you are”
