Self Love is one of those concepts that can be a little tricky to understand. It encompasses so much more than pedicures and manicures and massages! Many of us shy away from “self-love” thinking that it is prideful and self-centered because we’ve been taught to be humble and selfless. Right?! In the scriptures, we learn to love our neighbor AS ourselves. This means to love ALL of us. Both ourselves and others. To have care, compassion, concern, and forgiveness for both parties. The interesting thing is these “companion commandments” work together. When we love ourselves, it’s easy to love our neighbor, and vice versa. Listen in to this episode as we discuss more of the why, why’s, and hows to self-love!
