10 Quotes for a Moment of Self-LoveLast week, I wrote about congratulating the little victories throughout your day to build up your confidence and encourage positive motivation. It’s not always easy…we’re busy people. So I’ve collected a list of my favorite quotes that encourage and justify a moment of self-love and gratitude.

You Are worth the effort. (1)

“Nourishing yourself in a way that helps you blossom in the direction you want to go is attainable, and you are worth the effort.” – Deborah Day

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.â€- Buddhai

Take responsibility for your own life. That’s not scary–it actually liberates you from feelings of resentment and helplessness, which makes you feel better immediately.

“When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.â€

We often deny ourselves the chance to really love something/someone because we’re afraid it’s not the right thing/person. Don’t be at odds with your own heart. When you find something that makes your soul sing, hold close to it.

A jug fills drop by drop.

Whatever you do today absolutely makes a difference, even if you cannot see it. Don’t ever question it.
