Quotes to ponder:

“Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. Self-love means not settling for less than you deserve.”

“Being compassionate with yourself is one of the best things you can do to stop that self-destructive negative self-talk.”

“It’s OK to make mistakes. You’re not the only person who has struggled with any given experience, and nobody is perfect.”
