Self-Love THE POWER OF PRACTICING BY ERIN MAHONEY S elf-Love builds the foundation to your best life. Did you know that loving yourself takes practice and constant attention? Are you loving YOU every day? I mean REALLY loving you? What does that even mean? By definition “self-love” means regard for one’s own well-being and happiness. So often we don’t think about our own well-being or happiness yet it’s necessary for you to create and lead your most meaningful and fulfilled life! So, how do you begin to “show yourself the love” as I like to say? You take some time for you. You put yourself on the “list” first. You make YOU a priority. Now I know all too well that this is more easily said than done. We take time and give attention to others and their needs all day long without giving it a second thought. 70 www.AspireMAG.net | December 2017 / January 2018
