What is Self-love?
According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, self-love is the "regard for one's own happiness or advantage". Many times it is confused with the concept of self-esteem which the dictionary defines as self-confidence or self-satisfaction. Most of the time however, it is associated with the concepts of egoism, selfishness and narcissism. All of which conjure a negative view of self-love.
Despite this, self-love is ultimately about happiness, considering one's happiness and well being. Mothers usually put everyone’s' needs and desires above their own. As the saying goes, "you can't take care of others until you take care of yourself". I believe that the best mother is a mother whom is happy. That happiness, will transcend in all that she does and will have a positive impact on her family. So love yourself and do what makes you happy... the possibilities are endless and your family will thank you.
