Often we think of self-love as something we obtain and then live in a blissful state of "love and light" and instead, I'd encourage you to begin to explore self-love as a practice. When you practice something- whether it be a sport, musical instrument, new language- it starts to feel more accessible over time, there's room to make mistakes, it doesn't have to be perfect and yet you continue to return to it again and again because that's what practice is.
