When I set out to write about self love, my first reaction was a flood of everything NOT self love. Self doubt. Fear. Impostor Syndrome. I thought, “How can I tell people how to have self love, when I’m not even sure that I have any myself?”

But that is exactly why we at Passion Planner believe self love is so important to talk about. We live in a society that fattens up then feeds on our insecurities. Loving ourselves is a radical journey that will take us through our entire lives. 

Today, we are celebrating that journey with 61 self love affirmations.

What is Self Love 

Believe me, if I knew THE answer, I would tell you all about it! The truth is that each one of us will constantly define and redefine our unique understanding of what self love means for us. That said, my (current, ever-evolving, moving target) self love definition is this: 

Self love is the understanding that no one knows me like I know me. I am the only person on this Earth who can know the full beauty and depth of my spirit. 

Self love is a commitment to expand, explore, protect, and honor that knowledge, so that I may give the gift of Me to the world.

Why is Love Important (Even For Yourself)

To answer this, let me expand on that last part of my Self Love definition: “So that I may give the gift of Me to the world.” 

Each one of us has unique gifts and experiences to offer, but we have created a society hardwired to make us forget our worth. It tells us to be thinner but also thicc-er, to speak our minds, but not too loudly. To be smarter, sexier, richer… It tells us we are always lacking.

We often wonder how to achieve self love, whether tying it to being productive or waiting for that 'one thing' that will finally allow us to embrace ourselves as we are. But really, that IS love: it’s the vulnerable, critical act of revealing our most genuine selves. It reminds us that we are worthy of being seen, despite all the noise that tells us otherwise.
