Hello lovelies :) What does Self Love mean to you and how do you practice it in your life? Thank you!
Sassy Masha Vlogs self love to me means accepting yourself and making the best of what your given, despite it all ❣️
Forgiving yourself when you make mistakes.
Thank you for this video. I really needed it. Much love!! 😚
One lesson I'm learning right now is that a manifestation of self love is the expectation that people will treat you kindly, and not forming relationships with people when they don't. I've put up with people who put me down for so many years, and only now am I growing and asking for more from better people.
Self love for me is being kind to others, growing as a person, and becoming empowered and stronger. Crystals have helped me so much with so many things in my life. Your crystal shop RP is what got me interested in crystals, so I have you to thank ❤️
Maria, you said in a previous video that You wanted a beautiful, successful woman to guide you.. I hope you take comfort knowing that for many, YOU are that beautiful successful woman. I have so much admiration for you, I wish I could be more like you. I’m in tears watching this as I am one of those mothers that neglects herself. I started my family very young so I have a lot of soul searching to do when they’re older, I have no real hobbies or interests, it’ll be interesting to learn more about myself as the years go by. But for now, you’ll continue to be my distraction, my relaxing inspiration. P.S. my children love you too! 😘
Katie Louise don’t let motherhood keep you from finding you! it may be hard to keep an eye on them as well as do things, but small steps and research do build up in the long run.
THIS.
What you wrote about yourself is beautiful and touching and i think you re right. She doesnt realize fully how much she inspires and touches others and that she might as well be considered a role model or simply amazing inspiring person for many.
i am also a mother who neglects herself, i feel the same way about maria, she’s an inspiration! 🔮💕
Me too 💜
"Self love is different from self care." "Self love...makes your soul bigger." You’re so wise. ♡ I recently cut someone out of my life after two decades, and I've learned so much. I feel like I'm at the beginning of a new, brighter era of my life. I've always had ideals for myself, like not gossiping, and I never realized that I couldn't become my ideal self with this toxic person in my life. It's hard but I'm feeling optimistic.
I am proud of you!! I truly hope you feel like you're on the right journey now. Much love!
TheBermuda the same thing happened to me recently, but it was an 11 year old relationship, and i used to have this idea that i would be so lonely without this person, (i mean we were best friends for more than 11 years) so the sole thought that i could be away from this person used to be terrifying, but then it happened we parted different ways and of course i was so sad at first, because we used to be so close and suddenly i was alone, but now i see everything, this person was so toxic and our relationship was made from one way, i used to blame myself at first but now i know it wasn't my fault(that kind of relationship when they make you think that the blame is on you) and now i feel brighter and healthier and i can see a great future on my way, at least that's what i hope. I'm sending light and good vibes to you.
❤️
So extremely proud of you!! I know how hard this is, did this recently as well. Hope you will feel better soon!🍀👍🏻🌸💟
this is beautiful. you are so brave for this, im happy for you
Self love is acceptance. The ability to accept every little aspect of you, to embrace your strengths and weaknesses and try to give yourself the space it needs, to express whatever emotion may feel right at a specific moment. It’s the ability to still love you and be proud of you, in your lowest, when your heart aches, when you lose hope, when you feel drowned of strength. Self love is to know you have to give your self time, to know when it’s the right moment to restart, to rebirth. Self love is the power you find to not feel the need to apologize for every little thing you need, want, desire. Self love is the ability to look in to the mirror and be able to see you are beautiful, not matter what. For me, self love is the ability to always know, that me and myself is the relationship that exist before and beyond anything else. Before I am a daughter, a friend, a mother, a lover, I am Helena. Just me. I can’t be all those things, without being my true self. If I stop existing, all those other relationships, also end with that. So I come first, not in an egoistic way, but in a form that allows me to be a better version of me, for me, and eventually for everyone else. I buy presents for myself for Christmas, I give to myself all the things I need from others, like acceptance, kindness, forgiveness. We have to love ourselves first, because we are the only ones that know our whole story, what we have been through, what we overcame, what we need and dream of. So, we have to love the shit out of us, because we deserve it.
Helena Liakopoulou, so beautifully said, lovely 💗💗💗
Helena and Maria I really resonate a lot with both of your explanations. ❤️💚☺️
Sassy Masha Vlogs Oh, Maria, you replied!! I’ve been watching your videos for years! I feel like I know you!! Greetings from Greece! ❤️
Helena, I'll start right now planning my own christmas present this year :) "I give to myself all the things I need from others" is truly wonderful. Why wait for someone else to figure it out?
Furry Bear ASMR Hell yeah, get yourself the most amazing gift! You know, when I was little, I remember my parents asking “who do you love the most? Mummy or daddy?” No one ever told me that neither answer was correct. Because I should have answered that I loved me the most! No one ever says it! If we give ourselves what they need, we will end up with individuals who are emotionally complete and full with kindness and love. And when you are complete, you start sharing and giving and eventually it all comes back to you. This is the path for a much more beautiful and kind world in my opinion. If you first, deprive yourself of love, you end up seeking it in the wrong place, creating a domino effect around you. (I really hope to make sense, because I haven’t practice English in quite some time! Sorry if I keep butchering it)
to me, self love is staying organized and productive. i try not to stay stagnant in life, which makes me feel empowered. i apply this by cutting out distractions as much as possible that may get in the way of achieving my goals.
This is an important topic. I’m glad you’re sharing this with us.
Crow T. Robot gotta get some ASMR in between watching all those bad movies. :P
I think you touched on this subject beautifully. I am someone who also tried to emulate women who had innate self love and it just didn't work for me and for a long time I just didn't get it. Totally agree that love is power and we have to take ownership of everything that empowers us. It also takes honesty, integrity, self awareness and discipline. It's challenging but worthwhile.
The Power of Now is an AMAZING book and worth every second it takes to read it. The book changed my life.
Self love is loving my body and brain despite MS trying to steal it away... it's knowing that my scars, and stretch marks aren't things to be ashamed of, but memories I get to carry everywhere I go. It's never giving up on myself, even on the bad days, and knowing better days are ahead. 💕
Kimberly Woolwine Beautifully stated, Kimberly 👍🏻💗
TIRED OF LYME I was checked for pretty much everything that could mimic MS, and everything was negative. My brain has multiple lesions and I've had multiple flare ups (at the time I didn't know that was MS, but looking back, it makes sense) over a few years. Thankfully my Neuro is awesome. I am glad you don't have it! That's a blessing. I wish you well, too. Thank you!
@@kimberlywoolwine7797 I read your comments today and just wondered how your health is. I hope you are well!
@@rainyday2002 I am well! No flare ups in a long time. Thank you for checking 💜 I love this community
At the age of 41, I just started the journey of self-love. Specifically, I'm finally paying attention to what I eat, where my money really goes, and making sure my home is peaceful and organized, so that I feel the same way. I have never focused on myself like this, and it is truly difficult. But I know it's all going to be worth it.
Self love is taking a break and listening to some wonderfully relaxing Masha talk :)
It’s so important to be generous and loving with ourselves, just like we are with others. I am really getting better at that, and you are helping too, so thank you! ♥️
Basically
For me, self love is giving myself permission to be joyful. It is also respecting myself enough to work hard to achieve my goals. It's allowing myself to BE my truest, best self!! ♡
Part of loving is learning to place appropriate boundaries. Easier said than done.
For me one example of self love is to trust your own thoughts and sticking to what makes sense to you despite being surrounded by others who thinks differently from you.
Definitely! Accepting your own personal little path
To me, the process of self-loving sums to this Nikita Gill's quote: "Some days I am more a wolf than a woman, and I'm still learning how to stop apologising for my wild".
María Jesús Gutiérrez what a great quote 💖 thank you for sharing it
Wow! You should become an inspirational speaker😊
David I think she does that already by helping us thru her channel
I LOVE THIS! When you first started this channel, I was hoping for such videos to come. I love the vlogs and the full moon/new moon vids to death as well, but I love these a lot too!
Btw, I have issues with self love as well, I cannot take criticism from anyone, but I am my worst critic.
And my issues with self helf books is also what you described. I want someone to tell me what to do, not just talk about what the issues are for hundres of pages...or just say "love yourself"...gee thanks :D
I never understood the idea of self love. and your take on it really makes sense to me. I'm gonna try it. thank you Maria!♡
much love.♡
this gave me such peace and hope. I think you brought to my attention the difference between self love & self care, I think both are important but I don't think I put the time into self love as much because it's the more difficult one to tackle - not a quick fix. I will try!
Taylor Lynn tyttt
Self love for me is accepting myself at this moment the way I am. Believing and trusting that I am the best version of myself at this present moment. Self love is not empowering or trying or making, changing or forcing anything about yourself. Self love is pure accepting what IS created already just exactly as it is now and knowing that it is good enough, best as it can be now.
Vanja Aragovic Really appreciate you writing this. Self acceptance in the moment is it. Constant striving to be the "best me" so I'm lovable is conditional love. I try to love others unconditionally...and myself.
dogdonut3 i am certain you are absolutely beautiful the way you are and you are enough. You are good enough and perfect the way you are now.
Vanja Aragovic You too! Thank you!
Vanja Aragovic That sounds good, but I know there were many moments in my life where I was a horrible person. I was angry and mean and a bully, even if I never said my thoughts out loud. And in those moments, I should of NEVER accepted and loved myself the way I was. Once I grew as a person and seriously sat down and changed things about myself that I knew was hurting people around me, I was able to love myself more and more and more. And Im continuing to love myself more as I grow into the woman and human being I wish to become. Sometimes we need a kick in the butt to change, and that kick in the butt is hating the way we are and not being content to STAY in that bad place but to WORK to improve ourselves and be better.
This is a beautiful concept for self love. I’ve taken note of it - thank you ☺️ 📝
For me self-love is loving myself enough to give myself the attention I need to be a better version of myself. Empowering myself to be able to live my best life. By empowering I mean eating healthy and working out so that my body and mind are strong. Constantly educating myself on various subjects. Whether for a better paying job, promotion, or just knowledge of the world around me.
Butter Pecan Rican this is a wonderful example of self love. Thank you
Forever Natalyn thank you! ♥️
❤️ This setting is pure asmr heaven
One of my favorite videos from you! I love how you shared the different between self care and self love. What I do for self love is ask myself “what do I actually want right now?” I just finished up a long European vacation, and most days the answer was not to walk around to every site/monument, but to visit only a select, special few 💖
I have a few chronic illnesses and had to learn that my value isn't tied to a job or money or possessions.
My value is based on my compassion, my empathy, my intuition. My value is based on my desire to better the lives of others through charities that matter and through contacting my state representatives and senators. Suffering drains me. Not my suffering (though I could do without non-stop pain and a cruddy immune system). The suffering of others, of those without power, without a voice - it takes everything out of me. It used to eat me up that I couldn't do more but, I realized that every drop of goodness and kindness counts. Witnessing cruelty towards people and animals leaves me feeling sick. So I act. And by acting I'm making a difference. And my making a difference, I feel more love for myself.
I'm not perfect. I can be hurtful. I can lash out when someone makes my life more difficult. But I'm working on becoming a better person. And I know my value comes from my kindness.
When I stopped seeing myself as helpless and broken, I realized I deserved better. No more settling. I give love, I deserve love. As unconditional as possible.
TIRED OF LYME I hope you have many more good days than bad days and I hope a cure will be found sooner rather than later. I wish you the best. 😊

I can really relate to you.... I've had a difficult chronic illness since I was 16 and it completely changed tht course of my life. I used to feel broken and hopeless until I learned to change my perspective about what's truly important. I still struggle a lot, but I've realized that my illness has made me a much more patient, kind and loving person. I don't think I would want to change my path even if I could. Spreading love and positivity is all that matters when you look at the bigger picture.
Leila I think it can be especially difficult when chronic illness strikes at that age. I wish for you to be surrounded by good people, people who understand you, who lift you up when you're not doing well and cheer you on when you're feeling better.
When it hits you so early, you can't even get a foot in the door; while others continue their work after their cancer, we could never build anything to continue. Shit that happened to you too. Let's hope it makes us smarter people with bigger hearts, maybe, but we sure are trying.
Crackpot Honey So well said. 😊
Self love, to me, means feeling confident in your choices and decisions, always carrying a positive mindset, being ok with making mistakes ( that's how we learn!),and embracing the love others show you. For me, I had to shed my self conscious nature and learn to be strong in my convictions. I'm still learning more about self love each day, but it definitely helps to have other positive people around you too! 💙💚❤️💛💜
Thank you for this video Maria. I only just realised that I do truly love myself after a long and hard recovery from an eating disorder, where self-hatred was my only fuel for too many years of my life. As soon as I started trying to improve myself with the motivation of making myself better because I deserve better, instead of improving only because I thought I would hate myself less - that’s when I realised that I do truly care for myself now. It is such a relief, and it took me way too long, and I hope everyone finds their own true self-love eventually, because we have to be on our own team to truly prosper. 💜 thank you for being such a calming presence in my life Maria.
gigi Fellow ED warrior here, just wanted to say I’m super proud of you for working so hard on recovery. I know how hard it is! So happy for you ❤️
Mari P you’re so brave, thank you 💕
Quaaality content 👌👍👍
I've been watching your videos since I was like 13 years old. I'm 18 now and I'm so thankful to have grown up receiving all this wisdom from you! Sooooo much love for you
Pansy's Purple Patience Same, I've been watching Maria since I was 15, 20 now. She is a God sent!
Self love to me is accepting myself and all my faults as the way God created me to be. It is an affirmation that you admit that you have faults and weaknesses, but am trying my best to work on these things. As just myself, I’m nothing. I cannot do everything on my own, but through God all things are possible. And because of his love and what he did for me On the cross I am made whole. It’s important to think positive thoughts about yourself as well. “For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7
Even though you're not whispering or talking very softly, I still got a bit asmr because of how soothing your voice is 💗
Your American accent has always been excellent, but I feel like in the past year it has become even more perfect! It's amazing.
bunny michael on instagram said it best for me when she wrote "you'll start to love yourself when you stop convincing yourself that you don't"
Ahh! The movie is Runaway Bride 😄 I loved that movie when I was a kid!
I really like how you explained this. A friend and I were just talking about self-love and I’ve only just now reached that place in my life. I always thought that self-love was something you could think your way to, but that hasn’t been my experience. You have to start acting in ways that show love to yourself - like pursuing a goal, or taking good care of your health, or whatever it is. You have to act first and over time the action fosters the feeling. And that can be super hard because you might not want to act in empowering and affirming ways if the self-love isn’t there yet. That’s why I think at its core self-love is an act of faith. You have to believe that you are lovable, even if it doesn’t feel that way yet. And then you take one positive action. Rinse and repeat. Those are my thoughts, thanks for this vidja!
"Self-love is doing more of the things that empower you and doing less of the things that drain you"
Thank you, Maria! I really needed this right now ❤️
thank you, maria. i needed this so badly. only love ♥️
You’re so beautiful and inspirational. Gained so much from watching this and I’ll watch it again a million times to remind myself what self love really is. Thank you so much
maria, THANK YOU FOR THIS! Never in my 39 years have I ever heard anyone explain self love in a way that I felt I had clicked with something I could understand and take to heart. I think this enlightenment will really help me in the right direction towards a better me. I'm completely full of chicks right now and it feels like everything has become clearer. You are so incredibly smart, wise and clear-minded, an incredible role model. everyone who is lucky enough to live in your vicinity is lucky, thank you again. this meant immensely ♡
Thank you. I struggle with self love. I'm still trying to find my place...
I absolutely loved and needed this Maria. Thank you❤️
I love you, Maria. The human that you are. Thank you for being in this journey of self exploration and growth with us.💜
Ugh I love you so so much. Thank you for this video. You seem to know what to post and at what time to cater to my needs (because that’s your aim right 😂😂😂). You’re the best. I’m just as grateful for this channel as I am your ASMR channel.
This video is so pure and beautiful, you're such an angel.
I am so happy I have found your channel. All these years you've always been an absolute angel!! Im going into college soon so self love/finding myself is very important to me right now. Thank you for this.
I’ve never thought about it this way before.. this was great ❤️ Thank you so much for everything you share!
Much needed, I’m just learning to accept and love myself after struggling with low self esteem for so long. Thank you Maria 💕
I honestly love and admire you so much ... thank you for being there for us when we need it the most
Love you Maria! So grateful to have your videos and wise words in my life ❤️
You are amazing and deserve a multitude of blessings.
Your timing was perfect, thank you so much for just sitting down to chat. Love from New England!
Maria you are such a beautiful soul, you deserve to love yourself so much because you bring so much light to everyone around you xxx
I feel as if you’re like the big sister I need in my life. I’m so glad you do what you do. You’ve helped me through some really tough years and I can’t thank you enough xx
Perfect lighting! Grass is so pretty and so are you!
Hear your voice makes me feel sooo good!! Thank you!
I love love love this. Thank you Maria!
This is really affirming for me 💖Throughout most of my adult life I would often become depressed when I saw self confident women and felt that I lacked that love for myself. I realised that trying to force myself into being more self confident only made myself more frustrated and unhappy. I’ve learned that comparing yourself to others can be incredibly damaging, and instead you should focus on what makes you yourself happy.
This is so great. There are like a million videos about ‚how to love yourself‘ and I‘ve probably watched 90 percent of them - but none of those have given me, what your video has given me.
Straight to the point. I love it.
Thank you so much!
I would also agree that self-love is self-acceptance: realising that no one else can be you, and finding autonomy and self-respect in this. It is also accepting the past and how it may have hurt or helped you to become the person that you are now in the present. This is not of course forgetting to hope to always improve in the future, but using the present as a guide for that.
Thank you for this video, Maria, I would love more videos on such topics as this! I find them very useful. Lots of love!
“self love is doing more of the things that empower you” i love it
I loved this Maria! Thank you for reminding me that self-love is important!
You are such an amazing person. You have introduced me to so many positive and wonderful things. Thank you for what you do. To me, self love should be as much unconditional love as we would want to give to someone else.
Maria you are so humble , down to earth, I love your videos!
I love the egg analogy. Self love is all encompassing like you've mentioned. Asking yourself what you like, what you don't. Personal reflection is key, turning inwards is key.
People are weary to make their own choices and opinions, it's too easy to hide behind someone else and just be agreeable, being introspective is hard, saying how you feel isn't easy. Valuing yourself is self love, and I believe with time, patience and age, lol... It can be created.
Thank you so much Maria this was extremely helpful!!! Ilysm❤️
A beautiful setting for a lovely topic. Thank you for taking time to talk about this, self love is extremely important and I’m glad to see you’ve taken the time to share your thoughts on it. :)
Awe. I really needed this video. ❤ thank youuuuu 😊💕
Lovely Masha! Been watching since 2013, have never commented. You have helped me in different situations in life & I’m so grateful. I talk about you all the time to my husband and somehow I feel I know you, but of course I don’t. Be happy, be everything you want to be, please keep sharing. You mean so much to us 💕
What a beautiful human being you are. The world needs more of this.
this has been on my mind today, thank you so much for this
Hi Maria! I was watching while I washed dishes and I still was getting tingles! I'm not too savvy with self love, my counsellor just suggested I try more self love affirmations and self care. I'm beginning that journey of figuring out what self love is to me and that is a subject I struggle with. I really appreciated this video. You are an amazing role model.
Self love is a bit more inherent for me and stems from the confidence and drive I know I have in myself to succeed. I still need to practice though especially when it comes to getting hurt or sad by people around me. I am working to be more selective , if I feel drained by them, I should look for empowerment elsewhere!
those background nature noises are so soothing!! thank you Maria!
You have no idea how much I love this. Thank you. We all need a little more self love. It is something I struggle with very hard. Thank you for your kind and encouraging voice. 💖
Thank you for this video! So beautifully said. I love when you create these types of videos! I think you were the first person to get me into moon readings awhile ago and now I adore it :)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Here from Brazil, always watching - or listening - your videos, I love your voice, your tips, your concern to emprove yourself and also to help us growing too.. thank you so much, Maria, I adore you!
Thank you so much for this Maria! I've struggled with self love for my entire life and just recently started talking about it with my therapist because I've just never known how to practice self love. And this video helped me a lot!❤️
I'm still trying to figure out what self love is to me too, this actually helped a lot on what other things I could be doing to contribute to that. Thank you 💜 always so sweet.
Thank you so much for this video Maria! After struggling with grief for over 3 years, this year I have really been trying to work on self love. I feel more positive than I have in years.
I love this, Maria, I really needed to hear this! Thank you for putting your elegance and kindness out into the world💗✨
I love this video Maria, thank you! I really needed this ❤️
This video is so precious! I luv you, Masha!
this video was so beautiful and pure omg Maria makes my heart smile :)
I loved the way you ended this video. Very beautiful and relaxing.
Loved this video. Thank you so much, it was much needed!
WOW! You came up with this at the right time for me personally. Thank you. Wise words.
Maria you are so smart! 100% accurate! I love you! You explained this so simply! Ty!
Thanks for this video, Maria. I watch these videos all the time as a constant reminder that I can be and am enough as I am.
Also, in general, I love these videos where you just sit down and talk on this channel. Whether its little hauls or more personal videos like this, I enjoy them so much. Would love to see more if its something you enjoy making as well!
I really needed this today, thank you. ❤
I loved this ! I definitely needed this. Thanks Maria ❤️.
Perfect timing! I was just wondering about this last night and I cannot wait to hear your take 💜💜
I really needed this. I literally just asked for some guidance with self love and then you upload this video!! Thank you so much Maria.
I need to practice more self-love, but I love that word.. empowering. Beautiful video and great message!
This couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you.
thank you masha, i love this video! since i first saw it almost two years ago i have come back to it many times to remind myself of this...
I love this kind of video from you Maria! You’re always so calming (it’s like ypu can’t help but make it slightly asmr). It’s so lovely hearing you talk about things, we really value your thoughts!
No matter what is going on in your life Maria, you always seem to get through it with a smile. Awsome video!!!
Thank you! Beautiful reminder of how to manifest a happier and more filling life! 💛
I've been watching both of your channels for years now and I have to say you never stop amazing me. Thank you for everything you do and for helping me get through so many rough days. I hope you have an incredible day! :)
I love all of your content and have been watching for years, this video is by far my favourite! I keep coming back to it! You are a beautiful human being inside and out, thank you for sharing so much of your life with us ❤❤
I'm so glad you're saying this, I've always felt similarly and you are one of my biggest role models so hearing you say the same is soothing.
