Love Yourself
This is the most important tips and one you can use every day. Love isn’t exclusively to relationships. Before a relationship you must love yourself! As Luther Vandross says “And if you can't be. With the one you love it’s alright, Go ahead and love the one, Love the one you’re with… “Do something to strengthen the love that you have for yourself. Write down words of affirmations, things that you love about yourself, your goals for the year and/or read words of inspiration.
