Advice #3
Why it's important to love yourself, exactly as you are.
Self-love is important because it motivates much of our positive behavior while reducing harmful behavior. It both empowers us to take risks and to say no to things that don't work for us. It's a key component of building self-compassion. Self-love helps us take care of ourselves, lower stress, and strive for success.
I struggle with loving myself and I need to work on changing that.

This is a really great insight into this topic as well as advice! Thank you!!! I honestly want to copy down things you write so I can read them when I need to.
Well said! The reason I suggested the topic is because I noticed your struggle in a couple of your other journal entries. You are a pretty and talented girl, yet I sometimes sense you don't completely believe that.
I came across this article a few weeks ago and thought it was a good summary of ways to practice self-love. If you get a second, you might skim it and see if you could apply any of the suggestions in your life:
