    Self-love is one of the most important practices to incorporate into your daily life and improve your mental health.

    Self-love is an important tool for moving through life with confidence. Whether you’re going for your dream job, hanging out with friends, or putting yourself out there on the dating scene, practising self-love will help you to show up as your best self.

    If you don’t know where to begin, these beautiful self-love poems will help you to know your worth as you focus on the positive sides of yourself and learn to do what is right for you.

    So, create your dream day, week, month, and life by incorporating these short self-love poems into your daily ritual of self-love.

    10. ‘Naked Soul’ – being authentic

     “I’m throwing away

    All of my masks now

    To wear only my

    Soul.

    I think it’s about time to get back home.”

    This is one of the most beautiful self-love poems, as it reminds us of the importance of authenticity and being ourselves.

    9. ‘You are the answer’ by Yung Pueblo – it is all within you

    Showing that it is all within you.

    “They asked her, ‘What is the key to saving the world?’

    She answered, ‘You. You are the key.

    Heal yourself, know yourself, make yourself whole and free.

    ‘Release all limits

    so that your love can flow

    unconditionally for yourself

    and the world,

    this will open the heaven

    of your heart

    completely

    and it will guide you

    without fail.’

    There are lots of things that hold us back, many of which link back to our own fear. Believe you are good enough to get that dream job, believe you are worthy of the relationship you want. By showing yourself love, the love that will flow to you will be unconditional.

    8. ‘My Relationship with My Body’ by Wilder – a complicated subject

    “I’ve spent

    So much time

    At war with

    Myself, I have

    Forgotten

    I am the walls

    of my home

    Forgive her, and she

    Will forgive you, too

    No matter how many times

    You asked her to break.”

    Many of us have spent way too long hating our own bodies that we forget how much they really do for us. Yes, we may not be society’s vision of a fashion model, but we have incredible bodies that allow us to do all the amazing things we love.

    7. ‘Greet the Girl in the Mirror’ by Jennae Cecelia – best-selling author

    “I now stop

    and greet

    my reflection

    instead of looking

    past the girl

    in the mirror.

    All she ever wanted

    was her own love.”

    Jennae Cecelia is a well-known poet and author of eight best-selling poetry books. Her work has resonated with many people around the world as it reminds us of the importance of loving ourselves.

    6. ‘You Matter’ by Nikita Gill – don’t forget that

    You Matter is one of the most self-love poems.

    “You are not small.

    You are not unworthy.

    You are not insignificant. 

    The universe wove you from a constellation,

    just so atom, every fibre in you comes from

    a different star.

    Together, you are bound by stardust, altogether

    spectacularly created by the energy of the

    universe itself.

    And that, my darling,

    is the poetry of physics,

    the poetry of you.”

    If you spend all your time comparing yourself to others, the world will have you believing that you are insignificant. You are not. 

    You are here, you are doing amazing things, and you matter.

    5. ‘We Need Change’ by Jennae Cecelia – one of our favourite self-love poems

    This is one of our favourites.

    “She can’t stay spring forever.

    Her leaves will fall,

    her air will chill.

    But change is just what she needs

    to heal and rebuild.”

    Another one of Jennae Cecelia’s best-loved works, this poem reminds us that it is often necessary for us to grow and change as we move through life. Don’t feel guilty about it.

    4. ‘She Loved Herself’ by Atticus – self-love comes from the inside

    She Love Herself is one of the most self-love poems.

    “She loved herself

    but didn’t wear it on the outside

    this love came from the inside

    as a deep, calm confidence

    in who she was on earth

    a quiet respect

     for the person she saw

    in the mirror.”

    If you truly love yourself, you don’t need to run around telling everyone how great you are. Instead, you can move through the world with confidence, knowing that you are capable of achieving everything you dream.

    3. ‘The universe is inside of you’ by Rupi Kaur – a popular Instagram poet

    “The universe is inside of you

    look inwards

    and see yourself

    for who you really are

    we are all made of stardust

    and we are all beautiful

    when we love ourselves unconditionally.”

    Rupi Kaur’s poetry has taken the internet by storm, Instagram in particular. So much so that she has actually released numerous books dedicated to it. This one, which reminds us of how amazing it is that we exist, is one of our favourites.

    2. ‘Not’ by Erin Hanson – you are so much more

    Not is one of the most self-love poems.

    “You are not your age, nor the size of clothes you wear,
    You are not a weight, or the color of your hair.
    You are not your name, or the dimples in your cheeks.
    You are all the books you read, and all the words you speak.
    You are your croaky morning voice, and the smiles you try to hide.
    You’re the sweetness in your laughter, and every tear you’ve cried.
    You’re the songs you sing so loudly when you know you’re all alone.
    You’re the places that you’ve been to, and the one that you call home.
    You’re the things that you believe in, and the people whom you love.
    You’re the photos in your bedroom, and the future you dream of.
    You’re made of so much beauty, but it seems that you forgot
    When you decided that you were defined by all the things you’re not.”

    Don’t let your perceived ‘flaws’ define who you believe yourself to be. Erin Hanson’s poem ‘Not’ reminds us that we are a collection of all our quirky features that make us into a whole and amazing person.

    1. ‘The Universe Took Its Time on You’ by Rupi Kaur – you are here for a reason

    Reminding you that you're here for a reason.

    “The universe took its time on you

    crafted you to offer the world

    something different from everyone else

    when you doubt

    how you were created

    you doubt an energy greater than us both.”

    Topping our list of beautiful self-love poems is this stunning piece from Rupi Kaur, which reminds us of how amazing it is that we are here.
