self love
Caring for yourself
Self love is regard for one's own well-being and happiness.
The term has shifted from negative to positive connotations—once synonymous with vanity or selfishness, it now usually means healthy self-acceptance and care for oneself: Self love isn't selfish—you can't pour from an empty cup.
In modern wellness culture, self love encompasses practices like setting boundaries, forgiving yourself, and prioritizing mental health.
