The Naked Truth | Self-love improves sex language and all relationships – nourish yourself first and love from a full cup
- Self-love means prioritising your own well-being and happiness, without being selfish
- It has a lot of benefits, including greater life balance, increased happiness, greater resilience and optimism
The self-love movement is at a pivotal point in our social history. It may appear that nearly everyone is preaching self-love, but many of us still don’t know how to practise it.
There is an unspoken pressure to look “perfect” and live equally “perfect” lives. This often entails being a certain weight, living and eating in a certain way, and achieving a near-impossible level of productivity on a daily basis.
Nevertheless, self-love has become the buzz word.
Even fashion houses such as Valentino and Gucci are homing in on the self-love concept. They boast their latest collections make a strong statement on elevating this ethos.
As I grow older, practising self-love has become second nature to me. I make self-affirmations every day to motivate myself and create a personal safe space. I do this by prioritising my needs, but not in a selfish way that affects or neglects the needs of others.
