You might have seen a lot of self-love movements online over the last year. In 2018, women around the world gained the confidence they needed to speak up about their pain and insecurities.

Guess what? You can. Self-love is a lifelong journey. You can start right now, and you can make 2019 the year that you finally decide to stop selling yourself short and get to know the real you
This is a mantra for all the women who want to finally embrace themselves. Write it down, print it out or just take your favorite parts and say it to yourself whenever you need it.
I am going to love myself no matter what.
I am going to prioritize my well-being over other people's opinions.
I am going to wake up every day and tell myself good morning because this is my life, and I'm happy to be living it.
This is the year I will make the choices I want to make, and I will go after all the things I've ever wanted because life's too short to wait for the "right moment.

When an ex texts me, I won't let myself fall into the trap. I won't convince myself they've changed. I know they haven't. When their number pops up on my screen, I will delete the message and move on with my day. I don't need him to make the past right. I live in the present, and I love being here.
This year, I will stop searching for someone to give my love to because I am more than deserving of it.
In 2019, I will treat myself to slumber parties on the couch with my favorite snacks and movies. I won't tell myself I can't take a day off when I want to or avoid all my interests because someone else wants my time. This is the year I will embrace the power of the word "No" and stop feeling guilty for taking care of myself.

Work, school, family and friends are important, but they aren't more important than my happiness. I will take care of myself so I can be the best friend, daughter, student or employee I can be.
I'll do my best because I want to, not because someone makes me feel like I'm not good enough otherwise.
Maybe I don't know if fate is real or not, but that doesn't mean good things aren't going to come. If destiny has a plan, I'm here for it, but I won't spend my year waiting for the best to come. I am going to go after everything I want and embrace happiness every single day. I deserve it.
Life is too short to waste my emotions on things I can't change. I have learned to let go of opportunities that aren't meant for me and wait patiently for the things that are. Good things take time, and I'm not going to miss them.
In 2019, my past is finally behind me.

I will only focus on myself and the present. Old lovers, ex-friends and bad memories have taught me important lessons, but their memories don't serve me. I have buried them and decided to move forward.
In 2019, I will love myself first.

No matter who comes my way, I will make sure that the first person who receives my love is me. I will stop breaking my own heart. I will choose to let go of all the heartbreaks from the past, and I will heal. I will trust my strength and have the courage to love again, starting with myself.
This is the year I embrace my true power. I am strong, I am fierce and I am deserving of all the happiness, adventure and opportunity 2019 has in store.
