Self love looks different for everybody but one thing remains constant: it's an absolutely essential foundation for any healthy relationship or friendship. Lots of people struggle with self-worth and confidence, but self love is something that can be worked on, whether it's by prioritising your wants, needs and mental health, or through therapy and forms of mindfulness like meditation.

In your day-to-day life, something as simple as drawing yourself a bath with your favourite bubble bath or looking at yourself in the mirror and saying uplifting affirmations can boost your positivity and overall well-being. It might feel silly at first but reconnecting with yourself through small acts like these is essential to establishing a sense of self-love that can help orientate you towards your true values and goals and generally improve your mood.

It's especially important to work on self love if you're going through a significant life change (such as a breakup, redundancy, city relocation or a period of grief) as a means of boosting yourself back up and regaining a sense of confidence. After all, healing work begins at home; with how you feel in your own skin and how you think about and relate to yourself.

If you're looking to reflect on self love, what it means and why it's important, we've gathered up some quotes to look through as a reminder of your unique power and qualities. Let the self love fest, commence!
