May 12, 2025 - Love Yourself Today & Every Day

On February 13th I talked about how it was "Self-Love Day", but I absolutely believe every day should be "Self-Love Day", so today I want to talk about loving yourself again. What is "Self-Love", well Nationaltoday.com said - "Self-love is one of the most powerful forms of love. It is something we all have coded inside us. Proponents of self-love believe it could strengthen a person’s feeling of being loved." So what is Self-Love - and what isn't it? Consider the following . . .

• Self-love is a strong trait which can help you succeed in life. 
• In ancient Greece, self-love was considered one of the six types of love. It is also discussed by Sikhs, Christian theologians, philosophers, and psychologists. 
• Self-Love Day is all about understanding the power of self-love and the positive impact it can have on our lives. 
• Once we understand the power of self-love, we can move on with confidence we are always loved for who we are.
• The best way to start your Self-Love Day is by waking up with positive thoughts and without regrets.
• Self-love is the best kind of love. It can help us appreciate ourselves better and provide a huge confidence boost. Self-love can help us manage emotionally difficult situations and handle tough things better.
• It can help us develop a healthy lifestyle, have more self-esteem, and acquire satisfaction in life.

So what are the benefits of Self-Love? Look at the following ways it helps us . . . 

• With self-love, we can start to feel more in control of our lives.
• A person who practices self-love does not seek approval or validation from others.
• Self-love leads to visible improvements in courage and confidence.
• Self-love can motivate a person to achieve health, wellness, and financial goals.
• This day can help us realize the importance of self-love and find happiness in little things about ourselves. If validation comes from within, negativity from other people is less effective.

While there is an actual "Self-Love Day", I firmly believe every day should be a day where we love ourselves - and you are most ABSOLUTELY worthy of being a person who is able to love yourself, so lets make every day a "Self-Love Day".

Once again today I want to send you my virtual "hug" - You matter. You deserve to be loved and are loved - I love you! You make our world a better place - we need you in this world. I hope you have people around you who tell you these things, but if not, please let me be someone who does. Yes, I say this every day, but these words are true and will always be so.
