100 Best Self-Love Quotes to Empower You and Build Self-Esteem
For many, love is an emotion typically reserved for the special people in our lives. But who is more deserving of this intense feeling of deep affection than the person staring back at you in the mirror?
Self-love is the foundation and basis for all the love that flows from our hearts to others. Whether it’s toward a family member, a close friend or maybe even a beloved pet, that deep appreciation and high regard grows from the roots of self-love. Although love starts from within, exercising self-love is not always easy. Let’s face it, we all have our ups and downs when we may not feel at our best, which can allow self-doubt to creep in. Simply put, life happens, and sometimes we need a self-esteem boost to get us back on track.
Reading self-love quotes is a great way to remind us of our worth and reinforce the importance of nurturing our well-being. Encouraging, positive and inspiring words can help foster a stronger relationship with the person who will always have our best interest at heart: ourselves.
