But learning to love yourself is essential to your happiness and personal growth. It\u2019s also the starting point for strong, healthy relationships with others.<\/p>\n

1. Do a social media purge.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Are you following someone who\u2019s always posting antagonizing comments or memes? What about accounts that share snapshots of their impossibly perfect lives or unrealistic body goals? While you can\u2019t control what other people post on their page, you can control what pops up on yours. Protect your peace<\/strong><\/span> by unfollowing anyone who makes your feel bad about yourself\u2014your fake friend, your local fitness guru, or even your mother-in-law. While you\u2019re at it, find a few new inspiring people or accounts to follow.<\/p>\n<\/div>

2. Take ALL the selfies.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Whether it\u2019s the perfect lighting, a killer red lipstick<\/a>, or the sudden realization that you look hot as heck, snap the selfie and save it for a confidence booster later. You\u2019re worthy of remembering the times you felt fabulous.<\/p>\n

YL tip:<\/strong><\/span> Hold the phone far away from your face so the lens doesn\u2019t distort your features; then zoom in to get that perfect shot.<\/p>\n

3. Practice self-praise.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

We know\u2014we said practice for a reason. Instead of focusing on your perceived flaws when you look in the mirror, give yourself compliments instead. You might feel a little silly at first, but keep it up because self-affirmation can do wonders for your mental health. The more you say something, the more you\u2019ll start to believe it. Remember, if you wouldn\u2019t say it to your best friend or sister, don\u2019t say it to yourself!<\/p>\n

YL tip:<\/strong> <\/span>While you practice self-praise, diffuse the sweet, harmonizing aroma of One Heart\u2122 essential oil blend<\/a> to inspire you to open your heart to love and acceptance.<\/p>\n<\/div>
