CREATING A“ SELF-LOVE EXPERIMENT,” OR PRACTICE IS ESSENTIAL FOR OUR HAPPINESS.
So I created a Self-Love Experiment. What is it you might ask? The Self-Love Experiment is a challenge I gave myself to become my own best friend. It was born out of a desperate need to feel more connected to my life and myself. I wanted to know what it was like to live at peace with myself in my body and finally end the war I had been carrying on inside myself for more than three decades. Was it possible that this battle might finally subside? I wanted to find out, so I set out on a giant adventure.

Before my Self-Love Experiment, selfcriticism formed the backbone of my relationship with myself. I was always attacking myself in my mind, overanalyzing everything I did. Nothing I ever did was good enough for me.
I wanted to know what it would feel like to go an entire day without criticizing myself or feeling like I didn’ t measure up.“ Heck,” I thought,“ it would be nice to go even an hour without this inner critic beating me down.” So I set out to work on myself, for myself, and by myself.
Creating a“ Self-Love Experiment,” or practice is essential for our happiness. It is the foundation for everything we truly want in life. There are certain steps you can take to create your own fulfilling practice.
