THE CORE PRINCIPLES
OF A SELF LOVE WARRIOR

Self Love is a practice, a journey and a choice you make (or don't) in every moment.  It is the foundation on which you make choices in your life that either support and nurture your body, mind and soul or leave you 

There are 10 core principles of self love that make up a strong foundation of a self love warrior and you need all of them to be strong and truly thrive in life.  Most of us are strong in some areas and weak in others, for example you might have a healthy level of self esteem so are confident in your abilities however you may ,

Self care is a common buzz around the internet and whilst is is a core principle and expression of self love, on its own it is not enough

Most people are strong in some fundamentals but weak in others which creates a rocky foundation. For example, you can be strong in self esteem, so have confidence in yourself and your abilities, but weak self compassion, and so you are often hard on yourself no matter how much you achieve, or you may never feel like you achieve or do enough. 

The goal is to have all 10 branches well developed, nourished and strong and to also have an understanding of each, so you become more competent and masterful at giving yourself the kind of love you need. 

When you know what kind of love you need from yourself, and how to give it, you are less likely to take self sabotaging actions, have negative thoughts, or be overwhelmed by fear, anxiety, stress, blame, and criticism. 
, all branches need to be strong and nourished for the entire tree to thrive. 

1. SELF AWARENESS AND HONESTY
Everything starts with awareness, you can’t truly love yourself if you don’t know who the heck you really are!

3. SELF COMPASSION AND FORGIVENESS
Self-compassion & self-forgiveness is choosing to open your heart and
be a loving witness to yourself, without judgment, by sending yourself waves of kindness, understanding, and forgiveness that touch, heal and transform your imperfections, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and humanness through the presence of your unconditional love.

4. SELF TRUST
Self-trust is choosing to listen to and follow the guidance of your inner voice, believing you know what is right for you, even when other people think or say otherwise.

5. SELF ESTEEM
Self-esteem is a strong belief and regard for yourself. A strong confidence in your ability to do and be anything.

10, SELF ACCEPTANCE
Once you are aware and honest with yourself about who you are, self acceptance is the choice to actively like who you are, without exception, judgment or wishing you could be someone other than you. In fact, truth be told, you adore and appreciate who you are and would not trade places with anyone else for the world (at least for a few moments!) You consistently acknowledge yourself for all the ways in which you are
imperfectly, perfectly you.
