Prep Day
So to kick off the challenge, start by grabbing yourself a pretty journal and write it down how you feel, where you’re currently at – your level of self-love and self-esteem – and where you want to be. You don’t have to dig deep to much, as at this stage it’s more about getting things out of your head and on to paper.
All done? Well, thats awesome. The challenge has offically began and you’re now ready to move onto Week 1.
WEEK 1
So now it’s offically the first week of the 30 Day Self Love Challenge. So let’s get started!
Day 1 :
Firstly, write down 5 things that you like about yourself, and stick them on your mirror, wall or wardrobe door. You need to make sure to you’ll put a notebook/journal somewhere you’ll see it every day when you wake up keep it in the same place for the duration of the challenge.
Day 2 :

- How do you feel now in comparision?
- What scored would you give yourself now?

It’s worth looking at which areas you still need to work on and making a plan for how you’re going to tackle them – the key…..it should be the starting point. You don’t want all your hard work to go to waste.
So continue to build on it. Keep up the hard work!
