A few tips on self-love:
1. Think of self-love as a practice, not a destination—and define it for yourself.
2. Know that you don’t have to love your reality in order to love (or accept, or forgive) yourself.
3. Challenge your negative mental narrative by sticking to the facts.
4. Acknowledge that oppression and trauma can make self-love even more challenging.
5. Practice setting boundaries—in real life and online—to build self-worth.
6. Remind yourself that loving—or at least accepting—yourself is a worthwhile pursuit.
