Beautiful isn’t it.
Learning to love yourself isn’t the easiest part of part of the journey, but it’s worth it and it is the most fulfilling.
Can self-love really change your outlook on life? For me it has.
Answer these questions and decide for yourself:
If you loved yourself..
- …would you feel more confident and at ease?
- …would you feel more free and able to go after what you really want?
- …would it improve your relationship with family and friends?
- …would you have more energy to pursue relationships and activities that would add meaning to your life?

Great quotes! I love inspirational quotes like this!
I love this one so much: “Real beauty isn’t about symmetry or weight or makeup; it’s about looking life right in the face and seeing all its magnificence reflected in your own.” – Valerie Monroe … Thank you for this uplifting collection!
I LOVE quotes. I have a number of them that I’ve printed out and I keep on the walls in my office. It takes a while to really absorb their meaning and make them a part of you. I think my favorite one is – “Don’t tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon.” I love that Salma Hayak one too. You are the beholder. I never looked at it that way. #SITSSharefest
Loved so many of these quotes! They were so beautiful!
These quotes are all very inspirational. If I had to choose, number 16 would probably be my favorite!!
Truly inspirational and amazing quotes. Love all of them. Amazing indeed!
There is nothing like self love, it’s important especially when you’re going through something. There are times wherein we forget to value ourselves and during those times, we are often taken advantage of by others. Without self love, we are prone to living a toxic life.
Love all the Quotes you posted. They all are so true. Beautiful photos.
Great quotes! I love inspirational quotes like this!
I love the one about developing a relationship with yourself. I truly believe that before you can get to know someone else really well, you need to know yourself.
Always truly surprised at how many women do not love themselves. Good affimrations today, and hope more women pick up on them.
Omg many great quotes!!!!! Self love really is key to happiness. Love yourself and you can change the world
These are so inspirational and I needed them today! I have been having a rough time of it lately and these are just what were ordered for me.
I love these quotes! I really adore the one by Carrie Bradshaw. It’s amazing how many things I feel like I learned from Sex in the City.
I love all of these, but #19 is my personal favorite! Your posts always inspire me – workouts or otherwise! Have a fantastic week 🙂
I love the quote about being yourself and being quirky. I can say I think that I am and it made me somewhat unpopular in my younger years as I went my own way. As an adult it is what people like about me and what I seek out in people. My husband is fabulously quirky and I love him all the more for it!
Not sure if I missed it but I couldn’t find number 16. My fave is 15 and 17. 15 because it is so simple yet so true! and 17 just speaks volumes to me right now 🙂 thank you for sharing some very encouraging quotes <3

These are beautiful and inspirational. So great to start your busy week with this. Thank you for sharing all these quotes. You definitely made my Monday morning.
Wow what a great list, there are so many quotes here that I’ve never heard (or read before)! I really love #6 by Salma Hayak.
I love that Mandy Hale quote. It took me a long time to figure out that self-care didn’t mean selfish.
I really appreciate this. There are times wherein we tend to forget about ourselves, especially when we’re busy taking care of other people. I think this is awesome and it’s really motivating to read all of these lovely quotes.
Beautiful quotes. I see a few I am printing out to hang over my desk and on my mirror.
This is awesome, Jill. I can’t wait to pin it to my inspiring words board! Here’s my favorite: The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams. – Oprah.
I love this! It’s so important to encourage people to love themselves. I’ve started to see so many people talk bad about themselves, myself included at times. It’s so crucial to love ourselves and remember we can do anything we set our minds to.
All of these are really beautiful words, self-love is a must.
I love all the quotes here, and I am all about self love, and embracing your unique and special qualities.
I love all of these! It would be hard to pick out just one but the most important one is telling your body you love it the way it is!
Love these! I need to print them out and put them in my office!
Self love is something I still struggle with, but have made progress with since I began my journey of eating disorder recovery. Thank you for the inspiration and reminder I AM worth it!
I love that you’ve done so many posts on self love and acceptance. It’s so important nowadays!
These are all beautiful quotes. Thank you Jill. xo Lauren
These are so perfect! It is so important for us to love ourselves and be good to ourselves.
These quotes were wonderful and I will be printing a few of them out to hang around my office as daily reminders!
These are wonderful! Thank you for the inspiration today. It was so needed!
YES and screaming BIIIGGEST of Yes to all these quotes. Left me with a big smile indeed. Thanks for posting it.
I completely agree! It can be so hard to love your own self which ultimately keeps you from loving others as much as you could!
My favorite is the Carrie Bradshaw one. I am always about any of her SATC quotes…and refer to them a LOT! I really miss that show, now that I think about it!
Beautiful Jill! #15 is my favorite! <3 XO
Those are really great. I am learning the older I get that it is just important to look after yourself as it is to look after others.
Love all of these quotes, it’s impossible to pick one… self love is so important, I will admit I don’t practice it nearly enough, but it definitely makes all the difference to oneself, and also to others around us.
Love this! It is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
This is really great timing for me…
These are wonderful Jill – so many of them speak to me! I especially like the quotes from Mandy Hale and Malcolm Forbes.
Self-love is an area where it never hurts to get a boost to your day. Really great, uplifting messages!
Thanks for these not having the best day today.
Love the first one! I mean, if you don’t embrace your flaws, who will?
#19 is my favorite. I think everything starts with loving yourself.
#21 is one of my all time favorites too! i love seeing quotes about self love- it always reminds me to be kind to myself- body, mind, spirit 🙂
Jill, my favorite of these 21 is #13 from Malcolm S Forbes, but they’re all good! I submitted a link to my latest post, Sugar – Toxin or Treat? which is a departure from my usual posts, which feature one of my original recipes.
So very true, all these quotes are keepers!
Goodness Jill! This post was like a hug for my soul! Thank you!
