Hello everyone, welcome or welcome back to Women Empowering Women’s second blog post, thank you for your time. You being here doesn’t only show me that you want to support me but it also shows me that you want to empower yourself and other women as well and that’s outstanding so thank YOU.
In this post I want us to completely understand and learn more about self-love, us loving ourselves.
What is self-love: "love of self" or "regard for one's happiness or advantage"
Why is self-love important: It means accepting your emotions for what they are and putting your physical, emotional, and mental well-being first.
But sometimes it’s hard to love ourselves right, but it is truly hard because Loving yourself truly comes with facing what you may hate most about yourself. Maybe it is a body-part or multiple body-parts, or the way you treated someone or guilt or shame about a situation. The thing is until you can shine a light on your insecurities, you will never be truly accepting of yourself.
Other people say that you have to love yourself before you can love others and I think that may be right, but when I am finding it hard to love myself I put in more effort in loving others because I don’t want them to feel how I feel at that moment in my life.
If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel which is Karabo Moeketsi you will see that I have braided my hair and before I had short hair, when I got my short hair I didn’t like taking pictures and I always wore a wig whenever I could I didn’t reflect on why I did that but now that I have braided my hair I love taking pictures and I have come to realize that I didn’t quite love myself that much with short hair and I missed my long hair so much, I’m telling you this so that you can take a second and think, do you love yourself? Do you love everything about yourself, and even that might be hard sometimes but are you trying?
It is extremely important for us to love ourselves and even though I am still learning about loving myself I know that every woman/ girl I have seen ( including myself) is extremely gorgeous so if we don’t see that about ourselves it should be something we should work on.
Here are a few reasons why its important to love yourself:
Accepting yourself can make you happier.
It could encourage you to reach those health goals.
Self-compassion may help with mental health issues.
It can push you to stop procrastinating.
Loving yourself can lead you through adversity.
But how do we start to love ourselves? There are a lot of ways but here are a few:
Become mindful. People who have more self-love tend to know what they think, feel, and want.
Act on what you need rather than what you want.
Practice good self-care.
Set boundaries.
Protect yourself.
Forgive yourself.
Live intentionally.
On my brand, which also represents women empowering women I have a sweatshirt that has wonderful sentences that you could read to yourself whenever you feel no love for yourself and it is also so comfy you should check it out, maybe buy one for yourself and another for a close friend, someone you think would love/ need it.
Another thing is, when I feel self-love I become sassy which is a character I love for myself, what is a character you have that lives only when you truly love yourself to the fullest? You can tell me on Instagram by dm’ing me @ womenempoweringwomen0 I do read all the dm’s I receive and I would like to know who you are, I am sure you not only look beautiful, but you are also an amazing person.

BEFORE WE OFFICIALLY END THIS WEEKENDS BLOG let’s get into the blogs traditions:
Quote of the week:
“Do one thing every day that scares you.” – Eleanor Roosevelt (First Lady of The US, 1933 – 1945)
When I read this quote the other day, I went to the mirror and I mentioned 10 beautiful things about me, 5 that are abstract and 5 that are physical and for the past 21 days, I have been looking at myself in the mirror and saying the same thing everyday.
Is it crazy? No, it’s normal and it’s extraordinary and it makes me happy, try it and let me know how this experiment is working out for you.
WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!
