The sure fire way that brings me straight back to that warm, glowing feeling of self-love is Yoga. More specifically Bikram Yoga. Really taking the time to love my body and give it what it needs, rewards me 10 fold on every level. My body loves me back, protects me, makes me feel strong and confident and my muscles are so relaxed that I feel like I'm hugging myself (weird but true!). I also find being grateful for the all the positives in my life, the positives of my character and for the challenging experiences that make me who I am, done on a weekly basis, while I'm walking or on the beach, is a true act of self-love, I feel great afterward and feel grateful to be me. I'm definitely going to get your recommended Star Qualities, looks very interesting. Thank you for the inspiration x Great article, just got round to reading it now.

We want to appear humble and gracious so we don't feel we can say we love ourselves as it sounds narcissistic. There are many successful people who don't love themselves so it's obviously not a precursor to material success. However! When I started loving myself everything changed from how I allowed people to speak to me and treat me, what I ate, how I exercised etc right through to a huge increase in confidence, rationality, tolerance, where I belonged, that I was an acceptable, decent human being and, above all else, loving myself enabled me to forgive those who hadn't. x So many of us are caught up with taking care of everyone else.

Thanks once again for a lovely read! For ideas you mentioned- I like going out to places where the people, surroundings/decor/design have an effect on Wellbeing, to make me feel good. I also like good skincare products, and good food and some fresh seaside walking to give a boost. Thanks and Love, Julie B Hi Fiona,

It's that glow from within that will eventually attract others to us. And it's impossible to love others if we don't love ourselves... I'm definitely gonna take myself out on a date!
