What does self love really mean? It is an appreciation of oneself that help our physical, mental and spiritual growth. Self love is having a high regard for our own wellbeing and happiness. It means taking care of our own needs and not sacrificing your wellbeing to please others. Self love motivates us to make healthy choices in life.
