We have heard it so many times.  And yet, we are not listening.  How do I know?  Look around you.  If we LOVED ourselves, there would be no physical or mental abuse.  I’m not only talking about those being abused, but about the abusers as well.  If you LOVE yourself, you know what you are worth and you don’t need to prove it to anyone.  If you LOVE yourself, there is no need to gossip or put others down because you know better.  If you LOVE yourself, you do not need to bully people into loving you.

It goes without saying that if you LOVE yourself, you recognize when someone is not treating you properly and you can get out before the second or third incident.

Learn to LOVE yourself.  Learn to nurture your body, mind and soul first.  Do it and everything else will fall into place.
