The more you love yourself, the easier it becomes to deal with mistakes and setbacks.

You learn that these things don’t define you and that you can still offer love and forgiveness to yourself. This makes way for you to be more self-aware and in tune with your needs.

And ultimately, it allows you to live your life more authentically and confidently.
