February is the month of love! Shades of reds, pinks, and purples along with floating hearts seem to spark flames of love and affection for our family, friends and of course our significant other. But in this sea of hearts that covers our lives, let’s not forget about one very important heart that is present every moment of the day — our own.
I have come up with 30 prompts to encourage more self-love in your life! These prompts are not only meant to make you think of ways that you could show more appreciation to yourself, but they’re also meant to spark conversation! Pull them up at dinner when you’re with you friends. Go back and forth with your partner and learn something new about each other. When we know and appreciate our own hearts, it’s easier for us to spread that love to the people who matter the most in our lives.
