What is Self-love? Why must we love ourselves first?
Love yourself first, before loving anybody else.
When you are able to love yourself, only then you will have overall positive view of yourself. This does not mean you feel positive about yourself all the time.
Self-love means, you tend to accept yourself fully and you treat yourself with kindness and respect and you nurture your growth and wellbeing.
