Do you love yourself? How do you nurture yourself and take care of yourself?
The act of taking care of yourself creates a positive attitude, self-esteem, and confidence. Do the things that you really enjoy and have always wanted to do. Nurturing yourself doesn't have to be expensive. There are many simple ways of loving yourself.

When you start valuing yourself you'll begin to realize that it'll be easier to value others around you. Recommit to take care of yourself first so you are able to extend that love to your family and friends. When we express how important a person is to us and how much we appreciate them, we strengthen the bond to that person. It feels good to share loving comments with another.
You won't be able to give love if your love tank is empty. Fill up your love tank with love first, and then you have something to give, because you cannot give what you don't have.
Love yourself or you won't be able to love anyone else.
