What exactly is self-love? Does does it mean to have self-love?
Self-love is not simply being able to look yourself in the mirror and say you love yourself, repeat affirmations and so. It is so much deeper than that.
Amanda shares “self-love is the courage to dive within and accept and embrace what you find.”
Self-love takes courage, and I cannot agree more. As you start your journey, you will become aware of things that may be uncomfortable. You will experience many emotions as you uncover what is beneath the surface that needs to heal.
Now, I mention journey because it truly is a journey. It is not something that you practice and then achieve. Your self-love practice will change and evolve as you move through life and it’s many stages. You will learn new things about yourself that you may not have known.
Some days, you may feel very in-tuned with yourself and other days or stages in life, you may feel completely disconnected.

You need to be committed to this practice and journey as it is one that yes may resemble a roller coaster, but it is something you will never regret from experiencing as it will bring you so much peace, love and all-round joy.
I just loved this chat with Amanda. She gave such great advice for how we can be more compassionate with ourselves when we are dealing with past traumas or triggers that come up through our journey.
She also shares how we can find forgiveness and stop being so hard on ourselves – because we are truly the hardest on ourselves!
But this one point really hit home – perfectionism. How do we let go and start doing this in small steps. Perfectionism is so exhausting at times. And as nothing can ever be truly perfect, it can be so frustrating because we are never fully happy with the end result! Amanda shares her experience with letting go of control in small ways to start and how it has helped her on her self-love journey.
So if you are ready to start your journey of self-love, grab yourself a cup of organic tea, get comfy and ready to learn all the amazing advice and experience Amanda has to share!
