The Valentine’s Self-Love Quiz: Do You Love Yourself Enough?

Many of us go through great lengths to express our love and appreciation for others. Valentine’s Day is usually the culmination of these efforts. While we shower our affection on those close to us, we forget to do so for ourselves. Loving our own self can be one of the most difficult things to do – it should not be confused with self-indulgence. While self-love is about doing right by you, self-indulgence is about feel-good. Loving yourself is the foundation for living a happy, fulfilled and successful life – it fosters better relationships with those around you!

So, do you love yourself enough? Take the quiz to find out!
