Love Yourself, Period.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. ~Oscar Wilde

Love yourself. 

Externally:  Your combination of skin, hair and features make you unique, embrace them.  Take care of your body, it is the only one you have.  Eat healthy and drink lots of water.  Find something that you enjoy doing and exercise, frequently.  Sweat.  If it's tough to motivate yourself, find something group related.  Breathe.  Go outside daily for a walk. 

Internally:  Your experinces and viewpoints are what make you, you.  They will be at least slightly different from everyone else.  Different is not wrong, its just different.  That is okay.  These differences are the threads that make up the beautiful tapestry of our world.  A solid, flat wall of sameness would not be very pretty or interesting.  Read something every day to expand and challenge your mind.  Look inside and examine who you are.  Set aside five minutes each day to sit, relax and breathe deeply.  As you become comfortable with this, sit longer.  Try letting the mind wander then push the thoughts away...oops, your meditating!  Turn your thoughts and intentions into actions.  Create the you, you want to be. 

Love yourself, period.
