You don’t have to love yourself in order for other people to love you. But loving yourself sure does make a positive difference in every aspect of your life! And no matter how much you love yourself now, you can always love yourself more.

Today, pave the way for greater selflove than ever before. Light some cinnamon incense. Then, in a journal, list every self-loving thing you can think of that you did for yourself this year. How did you set boundaries? In what ways did you speak kindly to yourself ? How did you take care of yourself ? Now, with kindness and nonjudgment, list the areas where you didn’t love yourself as much as you’d like and the ways you could have loved yourself even more. Finally, write a self-love manifesto in which you commit to loving yourself unconditionally in the year ahead. In what ways will this manifest? How will it look? How will it feel? Sign your manifesto and date it. Extinguish the incense.
