summerofselflove: This summer, I want to encourage the tumblr community to work on their self-esteem and develop a body-positive attitude. Learning to love yourself can improve so many areas of your life, and can help to make you become a generally happier person.There’ll be a new activity posted every day, and you can do as many or as few as you like, whenever you like. Each one will aim to take you one step closer to self-love, addressing both personal issues and wider social problems. Some will take minutes, and others will take longer. It’s up to you to decide how much time and effort you want to put into the activities you do.You can do the activities privately, or you can blog about them and share them with everyone else. If you tag them with ‘Summer of Self Love’, we can all share each others’ experiences.In order for the project to take off, we need a signal boost! If you think you’d like to take part, or would be willing to share this with your followers, please reblog this post! We’d love to build up a community of positive people.Click here to learn more!
