Self-love is more than a trend or a phrase on social media; it's a profound and essential aspect of one's well-being. It serves as the foundation for emotional healing, resilience, and the development of healthy relationships. When you practice self-love, you remind yourself that your value is not determined by others but by the way you choose to honor and care for yourself.
There are times when doubt creeps in, and self-worth feels hard to hold onto. During those moments, the right words can act as anchors. These self-love quotes serve as reminders that you are enough, that your worth is unconditional, and that you deserve to be seen, respected, and loved exactly as you are.
