The World Health Organization defines health as, “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.” In today’s busy age, self-love is often overlooked. Work, school and family life seem to always take first priority, but self-care is crucial to your own well-being. Self-love looks different for everyone — to some, it may mean meditating, to others it could be taking an actual vacation. Whatever the case may be, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has multiple tools that will help you practice self-love.
