It goes beyond indulging in occasional treats or pampering—it's about cultivating a deep, genuine appreciation for yourself.

Establishing self-love can be transformative, but it's not an overnight process. It involves small, intentional steps that accumulate over time. So here are a few fundamental steps to love yourself. #selfcare #loveyourself Researcher/ Writer: Max Gustavo Script Editor: Caitlin McColl Script Manager: Kelly Soong Voice Over: Amanda Silvera (http://www.youtube.com/amandasilvera ) Animator: ChiquitaFoncy YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong REFERENCES Asghar, D.
