30 Day Self Love Challenge
Here’s a breakdown for the 30 Day Self Love Challenge into 4 weeks. From Day 1 – Prep Day to Day 30 – Roundup Day.
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!
