February is the month of love. While we’re focused on sharing the sentiment with others in our lives, it’s important to remember to love ourselves first and foremost. Don’t let your self-love fall by the wayside. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, reminding yourself that you are worthy, empowered, and able to do anything you put your mind to is essential.

If you need a little boost, check out these self-care ideas for those who struggle with self-love, and then flip through the slideshow below for a list of self-love affirmations that everyone can use this month. The relationship you have with yourself is the most important one of all.

1 of

For Those Feeling Unworthy

Sometimes it seems like the world around us is telling us who and what to be. Social media affects the way we see ourselves, and the feeling that we need to keep up with our peers can lead to feelings of being unworthy. The most important part of self-love is learning that it's okay to be who you are. To accept yourself and recognize that being different is a good thing.

2 of

For When You Need a Happy Moment

There are a million "small" victories you should celebrate every day. When you take the time to pause and acknowledge them, you'll develop a deeper sense of self-love. Start writing down three things you did well every day, and each week, flip through your notes. You'll notice that you have a lot of positive things to celebrate.

3 of

Because You're Everything You Need

Happiness is something that comes from within. If your happiness is based on the opinion of others, it may be time to find out if you're codependent. Take an in-depth look within and take an inventory of all the things you have to feel happy about. Your career, your many strengths, and everything you've accomplished. That's all you!

4 of

For the Caregivers

Caregivers need self-care too, and if you spend a lot of time looking after others, make sure you're directing some of that compassion towards yourself as well. It's easy to get caught up in the needs, wants, and expectations of another person. Remember to make loving yourself just as much of a priority. If you don't maintain your self-love, you may begin to experience burnout and feelings of loneliness.

5 of

For Those Struggling with Self-Worth

Think about all the things you did today. Chances are that your actions improved the world around you. Did you recycle your aluminum cans? Make a friend or family member laugh? Hold the door for a stranger? Today, you made a difference. That's a GR8 reason to love yourself while also spreading the love to others.

6 of

For Those In Their Self-Care Journey

Don't dwell on the mistakes of the past. Who you were yesterday, is not who you are today, and is certainly not who you will be in the days and years to come. Love your evolution and learn how to measure the progress you're making on the journey of self-development. Be proud of yourself, and have confidence that you will achieve GR8 things.

7 of

For Self-Love

Don't push the action of self-love into the category of "someday." You can choose to love yourself right now. It's not something you can sit around for and wait to happen. Self-love is something that takes action. Something that you decide to do and continue working on. It's a process. Don't wait to love yourself. Love yourself right now. To start immediately, listen to this self-love affirmations playlist.
