Daily Affirmations for Self Love

The following Affirmations for Self-Love are designed specifically to cover the different challenges that people struggling with self-love face. These affirmations will help you get into the right headspace to start loving yourself, as well as being accepting and kind toward yourself.

For your ease, I’ve divided the affirmations into several sections. Here’s an overview. Feel free to jump between sections:

Before diving into the affirmations, I want you to know that self-love is not about being perfect. It’s about embracing your uniqueness. 

Self-love is about taking care of yourself – mentally, emotionally, and physically – just like you would for a dear friend. 

It is about being kind to yourself, giving yourself credit for the journey you’re on, and wrapping your heart in the love and care it deserves.

Self-love is different from narcissism and being self-absorbed. It is becoming your own best friend, cheering for yourself when times are tough, and celebrating your victories, big or small.
