50 Ways to Love Yourself

“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” – Rumi 

It’s time to face the truth: The most important person in your life is you. How can we treat ourselves right? You don’t have to follow a strict regimen—we all have our own ways of honoring ourselves. We reached out to our social media family to put together a list of 50 ways to practice self-love every day.
