Self-Love Month & Positive Affirmations

Happy New Year! It is the first day of Self-Love Month. It is the month to feel more appreciation and to get to know yourself. This awareness month is not something new. Since the 1960’s, love and peace were promoted during World War II. Then in the 1970’s self-care was added to bring awareness about self-love. Also, to appreciate your type of hair and texture due to workplace discrimination that was going on in the 1970’s.

Self-love month is acclaimed every year in January which is beneficial for your mental and physical health. You can commemorate this month by taking some time for yourself. Pampering yourself with an hour of relaxation or anything that makes you feel marvelous. Enjoying your time by encouraging positivity and working on your self-esteem.
