Why is self-love important? Why do we need it? Is it really necessary? Self-love is crucial. We need it to grow, change, and transform. Sometimes we have to go through rough patches to actually figure out that we need to invest in ourselves more than others. Self-love is the key to discovery and empowerment. Before you can love and respect others, you have to love and respect yourself. You attract the energy you give off. When you truly love yourself, it will be evident to you and others around so much so that you will be barelly recognizable. Self-love is important because if noody else chooses you, you choose you. With self-love, you set the tone for how others percieve you, how you percieve yourself and the type of energy you give off. It’s okay to put yourself first. It’s okay to be all about you. It’s okay to choose you. Because at the end of the day, you are the only one who’s going to take care of you. Speak positive affirmations about yourself. Believe in yourself. Use language that builds you up instead of tears you down! Understnd that no one’s perfect and no matter what, you are always a work in progress. And you will always keep getting better. Choose you and love yourself first. Be selfish. It’s necessary.- HCXO
