February Love Yourself Challenge- 28 Ways to Love Yourself More

In order to love, we must first love ourselves.  It’s true.  It’s so hard to pour from an empty cup.

But how do we fill up our own cup?  How do we love ourselves when there are so many other things getting in the way of truly being able to make ourselves a priority?

Well, that’s the thing.  We must MAKE ourselves a priority. It takes time.  It takes a conscious effort.  It takes action.  And it takes the ability to say, I am truly worth it.

If you’re struggling to come up with ways to do that, to celebrate yourself, to embrace your worth and to fill your own cup, here are 28 great reminders below.  Feel free to print out this calendar, use it as a reminder, and you can always join our Facebook group for our 28 Days of Self Love Challenge by clicking HERE too.

7.  Take a bubble bath.  When you think it’s time to get out, add more hot water and sit for 10 more minutes.

8.  Bake yourself your favorite dessert.  Can’t bake?  Find a place that serves it and treat yo’self.
