Learning to love ourselves is very important, especially when society gives us so many opportunities to self loathe.

Nurturing the part of us that is self-loving, self-caring and treating ourselves like our best friend is paramount to overall well being - but it can be a tough road for many people; there is no rush, it is important to be present and aware of the journey rather than wanting the destination without doing all the small steps.

Connection with self is also the awareness that there are very many parts of ourselves, and what we call “authenticity” is understanding the fluidity of all our parts, and how they interact with each other.
