Turning Well-Intentioned Self Love into Intentional Self Love

The concept of self-love has wildly evolved. This phrase can be viewed as honoring your emotions, avoiding conflict, taking care of your health, putting your needs above others, treating yourself any chance you get, etc. None of these are inherently good or bad, but I want to focus on an overall balance of the concept. Webster’s Dictionary has multiple definitions for the phrase, but the one that resonates with me most is, “proper regard for, and attention to, one's well-being.” To truly focus on true, overall well-being, will require discomfort at times, and possibly making shifts in various areas. Now, let’s dig into what this looks like and how self-love can become a more regular and balanced practice in your life.
