20 FREE Ways to Practice Self Love

I truly believe that loving ourselves is so important to our mental health.  We must take care of ourselves before we can take care of others and one of the ways we can take care of ourselves is by practicing self love.  It can be as simple as lighting our favorite candle or as fun as riding our bike on our favorite bike path.  I've complied a list of 20 ways you can practice self love FOR FREE!!! If you have something you think I should add to the list, tell me in the comments! I'd love to hear your ideas!

Sleep in

Wear something you feel great in

Gaze at the stars
