What is Self-Love? Many people mistakenly believe that self-love is the s ame as selfishness,  or having a b ig ego. It’s not.   So, what do we mean when we say “self-love”? Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness.  Self-love is not simply a state of feeling good.  Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others.

Walk with your eyes and ears open. Hear and listen the nature, the music h...

  All of us make mistakes at times. We all make mistakes. Oftentimes, through our actions, somebody gets hurt. As humans, we’re imperfect. It’s helpful to remember that mistakes, failures, and even incredibly stupid acts are part of being human. It’s how we learn and grow. If you’re never embarrassed or wrong and if you never make a mistake, you’re probably staying within a pretty narrow comfort zone. The trick is to learn and move on from our mistakes. As painful and uncomfortable as it may feel, there are things in life that are worth enduring the pain for in order to move forward, and forgiving yourself is one of them. We hear a lot about the importance of forgiving those who have harmed us, but what about forgiving ourselves? Is that important as well? I believe that it is. Many of us know that forgiveness is a good thing, right?
