It's Love Month - Let's Talk About Loving Yourself

Psalm 139:13-16 (NLT)

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book.

Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

Reading this scripture should immediately begin to boost your positive thinking about WHO YOU ARE, just by knowing WHO'S YOU ARE! You are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and God didn't make any mistakes or flaws when He created you. You need to love who you are, because you are fearfully and wonderfully made!

Loving yourself is an important part of living a healthy and happy life. It’s easy to get caught up in the stress of daily life and to forget to take time for self-care and self-love. Here are some tips that can help you love yourself more:

1. Practice self-care. Take time each day to do something that brings you joy and makes you feel good. Whether it’s reading a book, taking a walk, or treating yourself to a massage, make sure to do something that helps you relax and recharge.

2. Celebrate your successes. Acknowledge your accomplishments and take pride in your hard work. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small they may be.

3. Speak kindly to yourself. Talk to yourself the way you would talk to a friend. Remember that you are deserving of love and kindness, and avoid speaking negatively to yourself.

4. Practice gratitude. Make time to reflect on the things that you are grateful for. Focusing on the positive aspects of your life can help you recognize and appreciate all that you have.

5. Make time for yourself. Spend time alone focusing on your own needs and desires. This can help you to reconnect with yourself and can help you to identify what’s important to you.

Loving yourself is a journey that takes time and dedication, but the rewards are worth it!
