On December 14, 2024, AWiB presented Self-Love by Mastewal Habtamu. Members introduce themselves and explain their former understanding of the topic (Self-love). During the session, some questions and personal analysis tests were given to the members to test their deeper sense of self-love and reflect upon themself. The questions were “What is self-love?”, “Why do we lose self-love?” Members shared their own experiences and insights on the Question.

Key Points covered:

Mastewal concluded the session by addressing questions raised by members and offering practical steps to cultivate self-love:

• Self-Reflection: Spend time understanding your thoughts and feelings. Journaling can be a powerful tool for this.
• Set Boundaries: Protect your time and energy by setting healthy boundaries with others.
• Positive Affirmations: Speak kindly to yourself. Replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations.
• Self-Care: Dedicate time to activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Whether it’s a hobby, a nature walk, or a hot bath, prioritize self-care.

Major Takeaways:

The session provided valuable insights and practical lessons on self-love, including:

• Acceptance is one form of self-love
• Self-love is not vanity it is sanity
• Gratitude is the first step to self-love
