The other day I saw a movie with my mom. You might have heard of it. It was called "I Feel Pretty" and it was a real eye-opener on the topic of self-love and why it is so important to show yourself some TLC.

Loving yourself is something that everyone should experience. It is not only important for confidence, but also for your personal success. You can never be truly happy if you do not love yourself first. I think that this starts with being confident in your own skin.

While this may definitely be easier said than done, I believe that it is a vital part of the way that one may view themselves and the feelings that they may express.

Learning to love yourself can be a difficult journey, but it is well worth it. Once you figure out how to not only make yourself happy but to encourage yourself, you can be unstoppable.

Being in touch with your thoughts and emotions is a crucial part of growing up. Facing insecurities and letting go of grudges can lift a ton off your shoulders and allow you to move forward emotionally and mentally. Self-love is so vital for a long, successful, and happy journey through life. Through self-love, will you find the confidence to do anything that you set your mind to?

While it may be true that the outer appearance may be the first part that you are judged on, it doesn't always have to count. With a shining personality and a unique character, you can make a very prominent mark on the path in your life. You can make yourself stand out with personal charm and elegance.

Another way to show yourself, love, is the way that you care for yourself. Personal hygiene and beauty regimes are the different ways that you can treat yourself to some relaxing quiet time. It is important to block out time for this on your schedule, even when you are busy to alleviate any unwanted stress. Also, making sure that you are eating healthy, balanced meals will help you feel better not only physically, but mentally, as well. Treating yourself to wholesome, homemade meals is satisfying for the mind and body. It does feel satisfying to adopt these healthy habits in your life and it is a proud feeling when you stick to these habits and make your own goals.

Changing the way that you talk to yourself and about yourself is a huge step towards showing more love for yourself. This creates a positive overview and helps you live with a clear mind. Defining your own meaning of beauty another wonderful way to make yourself feel more powerful and more beautiful. The most important relationship that you will ever have in your life, is the one that you have with your very own self. The sooner that it is realized, the better.

Of course, it is easier said than done, but you need to love yourself. This means stop comparing yourself and start learning who it is that you are. Are you a listener? An encouraging advice giver? A loyal friend? What makes you stand out and what do you love about yourself? What do other people love about you?

Self-love isn't just polishing your toenails. It is a feeling that you owe to yourself.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
