Turning off your phone, going on a walk in nature, connecting to yourself, that’s self love. Self love is like eating your vegetables, we don’t always love them but they’re good for us. Whereas self-care is dessert: the mani-pedis, bubble baths, wine, chocolate, they’re great but they won’t sustain or nourish you.
So I tell women all the time to make sure self love is most of your meal, which means water, sunshine, laughter, sometimes even crying and feeling your emotions can be self love.
– Heather Bartos, MD
