21 Things You Can Do To Help You Love Yourself
Be Light Living

Sometimes the hardest person to love is yourself.

As a kid, you think that you're great. You are happy with the life you are living and the person you are. You wonder, what is wrong with other people, when they don’t want to be your friend because you're amazing.

Then you get older, and you start wondering why people like you at all.

It gets harder to love yourself when you want to be better and are unhappy with where you are.

Even when we want to improve we have to work on loving and taking care of ourselves.

It is important to be able to look at yourself and LOVE what you see.

Take time out of life to reflect and remind yourself just how special you are.

Here are 21 things you can do to help you love yourself when you forget how:

1. Take A Breath

2. Cultivate A Morning Routine

3. Write

4. Laugh

5. Evaluate Your Eating Habits

6. Take A Walk

7. Sit In Silence

8. Tell Yourself Something You Like About Yourself

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
