Fill Your Cup: The Power of Self-Love and Why You Deserve It

What is Self-Love and Why is It Important?

Self-love is about the relationship you have with yourself—it’s how you think and feel about who you are and the world around you. It’s an unconditional acceptance of your flaws and strengths. When we practice self-love, we prioritize our well-being, set boundaries, and treat ourselves with kindness, compassion, and respect. It’s also about recognizing your strengths and weaknesses while striving for personal growth and self-improvement without judgment.

So, when was the last time you checked in with yourself? How do you really feel about who you are? Is your cup empty, half-full, or overflowing? Many of us don’t stop to assess how we feel. And in today’s society, self-love is often seen as a “soft” skill—something nice to have, but not essential. Yet, 85% of adults and adolescents experience feelings of unworthiness and low self-esteem. Given the rise in mental health challenges, it’s clear that self-love is crucial to thriving in life, wouldn’t you agree?

Why Does a Lack of Self-Love Happen?

The lack of self-love can stem from early experiences, often rooted in our childhood. As children, we absorb everything around us, especially between the ages of 0-7. The things we hear, see, and experience shape our sense of self. For instance, if a parent leaves or someone says something hurtful, a child may internalize that as “I’m not lovable” or “I’m not enough.” These beliefs can become ingrained and follow us into adulthood, affecting how we see ourselves and the world.

It could also be something that occurs later in life—perhaps a relationship or job where you felt unworthy or were told you weren’t good enough. These negative thoughts can stick with you, making it difficult to break free.

But here’s the thing: What we focus on becomes our reality. If we focus on lack and negativity, we will live in that space. However, if we can flip our mindset and focus on love, abundance, and self-acceptance, that is how we will live. So, ask yourself, which would you prefer?

Self-Love is Possible—But You Have to Want It

You might be thinking, “This sounds hard,” or “I’ve tried, and it didn’t work.” The key to any transformation is commitment, consistency, and a true desire to change. You’ve got to want more self-love. You’ve got to really want to feel better about yourself and make a change. But let me tell you—it doesn’t require huge changes or lots of time. It’s about making small, consistent tweaks that create a big difference.

If you’re ready to start, there are different ways to dive in. I recommend beginning with my free Limitless Love Challenge, where you’ll make small, manageable commitments to yourself each day.
