Happy Valentine’s Day Divas!
I hope you all had a fantastic day embracing love, life and joy.
Valentine’s Day is a day that can bring out the best of and worst of in people. There’s those that absolutely detest the day and those that seem to live for this day of the year to spread love and cheer to everyone they meet.
This month on Divas With A Purpose we’re celebrating and embracing self-love because before you can love another person fully, you must be able to love and accept yourself.
There are so many divas out there with low self-esteem because of the words and actions of others in their past.
You.
Are.
One.
Awesome.
Diva!
Speak It! Live It! Believe It! Embrace It!
In honor of Valentine’s Day, I encourage you all to list at least 14 things that you love about yourself.

I agree that self-love is super important. Recognizing strengths and weaknesses objectively is important.

Oooo, this is a tough one for people to do! I might be guilty of being incredibly critical of myself because of my #1 on the list... I'm always pushing to be better.

I think this is something we need to do more often. It can be hard to do but we need to remind ourselves that we are awesome every now and then :)
