Self love

•having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others

Self respect

•pride and confidence in oneself; a feeling that one is behaving with honor and dignity.

Why Should It Be Normalized?

•Self love encompasses relationships, nutrition, fitness, and even career aspirations 

•The concept of self love has been diluted by social media and the intense proliferation of viral posts and memes about being “queens” and “boss babes” basically it intensely focuses on “self care” routines that are inherently unsustainable or out of reach for many.

So often-times these are clickbait concepts that don’t truly dive into the “why” or “how” of a sustainable lifestyle built upon a foundation of self love and self respect.

•When I say “self love,” what I mean is the way we treat ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, intellectually, and spiritually.

Food, exercise, sleep, sex, and relationships — these are all impacted by and enhanced by living a lifestyle centered around self love.

So, how do you transform this concept of “self love” into an actual resolution? HEALTHY PRACTICES / HABITS—PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

It’s a simple approach, but the implementation is hard as hell. It’s hard because it’s a perspective shift, and it requires a degree of thoughtfulness and discipline that is at odds with a world built on instant gratification, hype, and reduced attention spans.

•It should be normalized because it promotes healthy behaviors and mindset 

•Creates a better life and person

•With self love comes self respect
