What the world definitely needs now is love sweet love. I would also argue that we each have to learn how to love ourselves–more! Many of us spend countless hours a day indulging in negative self-talk and belittling ourselves. I know I’ve been guilty of picking out every flaw, every blemish, every extra pound that I am carrying around. Instead of nurturing the things about myself that I love (and that others love, too), I focus on those not-so-good thoughts about myself.
This year, I promised myself that I would make it a habit to decrease the negative self-talk and thoughts and increase loving on myself. Doing this can help foster a better outlook on life, and make us happier and more fulfilled.
I want you to join me in my new quest to treat myself better, from the inside out, starting with my thoughts. I am sharing 20 Ways to Fall Back in Love With Yourself:
1. Every day, write in your gratitude journal.
Writing in my gratitude journal helps me focus on positive thoughts and energy, which helps me feel better. When you operate in gratitude, it helps you love yourself even more, flaws and all.
2. Write a positive affirmation about yourself.
Fall back in love with yourself by writing a positive affirmations. These affirmations should inspire you and help you be your best self. You can learn more about writing affirmations by reading these posts.

5. Treat yourself to a healthy meal.
Health is wealth, and loving yourself means being as healthy as you can.
