Self-Love Here ’ s to a Fresh Start
By Zaundra Jackson , Divorce Recovery Coach for Major Mark
Now , you ' ve enjoyed the blessings of the holidays and are ready to set new goals and boundaries . Some have embarked upon a new journey . Can I ask a question ? Have you considered a little self-love in the New Year ? Whether your goal is to read a book per month , read a scripture daily , or pray more frequently , self-love will make a positive impact on your year and any goals or resolutions you made .
What is Self-Love ? Self-love has been a hot topic for a few years now . Yet , many still do not understand what it means . Contrary to popular belief , self-love is not another girl thing . Men need to show themselves love just as much as women do . Self-love is personal and different for everyone . It matters not where you are on your journey :
• Happily , or unhappily married
• Gainfully employed or unemployed
• Happily , or unhappily single
• College student or single mom
• Divorced with or without children
