Even though I still struggle, I have come a long way when it comes to practicing self-love. For a long time I engaged in a pattern in which I would choose to stay in toxic and abusive relationships just because I was afraid of being alone. I equated being without a boyfriend with being unlovable. I now know that is NOT true. One of the ways I practice self-love is taking myself on dates – I will go to a coffee shop and surf the net, or grab a nice lunch from my favorite sandwich shop.

How do you practice self-love?
