SELF LOVE BY TK EL There is a famous phrase that says “Learning to love oneself is the greatest love of all”. While this may be true, loving oneself is not as easy as it may sound. Especially, living in this day and time; in a world where you are compared and judged. However, loving yourself is doable and something you should not take lightly. The reality is you have you for this lifetime, so you might as well love the packaging and the gift inside of the package. You have the ability to change those character flaws that you may want to improve upon, but remember there is balance in everything; so too much positive is just as imbalanced as too much negative. Each issue we will offer a Self-Love tip in this section. Send us an email at selflove@ remedymag.com and share your uniqueness with me and your fellow REMEDY Magazine readers. Let’s spread love to spark self-love. Tip Accept yourself for who you are physically, and know that you are more than what you see in the mirror. No two people are exactly alike, even identical twins have differences. Find your differences and view them as your uniqueness; they are what separate you from the rest. Self-love is something we are each working on individually; including myself. Okay, here we go let me share my uniqueness; I was born with grey hair, so I was a child walking around with salt and pepper hair. Though I was never teased about it, I felt uncomfortable about it when I got in my teens. However, I learned to accept my difference and now I love my salt and pepper mane. Stand naked in front of a full length mirror; look at your body, front and back. Notice every blemish, flaw, stretchmark and sag. See your uniqueness. Dance in front of the mirror and smile at the beauty you are. remedymag.com REMEDY 7
