What is self-love?
Self-love /noun/: Regard for one's own well-being and happiness. This is a short definition I found for the word "self-love". But it is so much more than a single word in the dictionary.

Self-love - the importance of giving credit to yourself
For me, self-love is some sort of magic. It makes you happier, more confident. When you practice self-love you see the world differently. Your approach to people changes. You start to embrace yours and people's imperfections.

The beginning - when did the term appear?
Self-love has often been seen as a moral flaw, akin to vanity and selfishness. It was first recognized in 1563 but was only later studied by philosophers William James and Erich Fromm, who studied emotional human behavior, such as self-esteem and self-worth.
However, it was later defined in 1956 by psychologist and social philosopher Erich Fromm, who proposed that loving oneself is different from being arrogant, conceited or egocentric, meaning that instead of caring about oneself and taking responsibility for oneself.
However, Augustine – with his theology of evil as a mere distortion of the good – considered that the sin of pride was only a perversion of a normal, more modest degree of self-love.
I learned that you should always love your body and love your style. You are perfect just the way you are. You are AMAZING! God created you to be the person you are, and he made you perfectly. Don't ever doubt your beauty. And anyways, outer beauty is worthless without raw inner beauty.
Self-love is different for everyone. There are so many ways to express yourself: slowing down, letting the monster out, escaping blame, or whatever. Just listen to your heart and let it speak.
