Practice selflove and self-compassion from "summary" of The Body Is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor

Self-love and self-compassion are radical acts of defiance in a world that profits from our self-hatred. It is a rebellion against the oppressive systems that tell us we are not enough. When we choose to love ourselves, flaws and all, we disrupt the cycle of shame that keeps us small and afraid. We challenge the status quo that thrives on our insecurities and self-doubt. Embracing self-love means recognizing our worthiness just as we are, without the need for validation from others. It is about honoring our bodies and minds as sacred vessels that deserve kindness and compassion. By practicing self-compassion, we offer ourselves the same understanding and forgiveness that we would give to a friend in need. In a world that constantly bombards us with messages of inadequacy and unattainable standards, loving ourselves is an act of resistance. It is a refusal to conform to the unrealistic expectations imposed upon us by society. When we choose self-love, we reclaim our power and autonomy, refusing to be defined by anyone else's standards of beauty or worth. Self-compassion is not about perfection or always getting it right. It is about embracing our humanity, with all its messy imperfections. It is about treating ourselves with the same gentleness and care that we would extend to a loved one in pain. When we practice self-compassion, we create a space for healing and growth, allowing ourselves to learn from our mistakes without judgment or shame.
  1. Self-love and self-compassion are revolutionary acts of self-acceptance. They are a declaration of our inherent worthiness and a rejection of the toxic messages that tell us otherwise. By choosing to love and care for ourselves, we pave the way for a more compassionate and just world, one where all bodies and minds are celebrated and respected.
