Many people become uncomfortable when we speak of self-love. To some, the term bears the connotation of being prideful and having a sense of self-importance. This concept is unhealthy and self-defeating. On the contrary, self-love shows appreciation for ourselves through acts of kindness and compassion which promote our sense of well-being and confidence. To love, respect, and show honor to others, we must have a healthy love for ourselves. We cannot extend love to others if we do not have a wholesome regard for ourselves. "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind...And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself (Matthew 22:37,39)." Jesus taught His disciples to treat others with the same level of goodness and love that they exercised toward themselves. If we are incapable of embracing these feelings and practices in our lives, we will not have the sensibility to extend them to others. Therefore, during this 30-day journey, we will work daily toward developing healthy self-love.
