Start by prioritizing self-care, a key component of self-love. Make time each day for activities that nourish your body and mind.

Whether reading, bathing, or walking, indulge in simple pleasures that uplift your spirit. Maintain a routine of regular exercise and healthy eating. Don’t forget about sufficient sleep. All these boost your energy and resilience in facing life’s challenges.

The way you talk to yourself impacts your self-esteem and mental health. Allowing negative self-talk to persist can have harmful effects, fostering feelings of inadequacy and undermining self-confidence.

Instead, practice positive self-talk. Replace critical thoughts with affirmations and remind yourself of your strengths and achievements. This shift in mindset can improve your self-perception and boost your confidence.

Setting boundaries is a vital part of self-love. It means recognizing your limits and communicating them to others. Boundaries protect you from overextending yourself and help maintain your emotional health.

Learn to say no when necessary without feeling guilty. Prioritizing your needs isn’t selfish; it’s essential for your well-being and self-preservation.

Engaging in activities you enjoy can significantly enhance your mood and well-being. Identify hobbies or pastimes that make you feel happy and fulfilled.

Whether painting, gardening, playing a musical instrument, or cooking, make time for these activities regularly. They provide a creative outlet, reduce stress, and offer a sense of accomplishment.

The people you surround yourself with can significantly impact your sense of self-worth and happiness. Build a support system of friends and family who uplift and encourage you.

Steer clear of relationships that zap your energy or diminish your self-worth. Surround yourself with positive influences that offer emotional support, keep you motivated, and affirm your value.

There are many other ways to practice self-love, and some of them include practicing mindfulness, setting achievable goals, and expressing gratitude.

What’s important to remember is that self-love is an ongoing journey that demands commitment and perseverance. Remember, you are worthy of love and respect from others, but also from yourself.

“It’s happening!!!!!” was the beginning of a magical post on Instagram from Blippi and Ms. Rachel, announcing the most significant collaboration of 2023, at least according to the toddler set. It’s what the dream team kids and their parents have been waiting for.

The YouTube celebrities are already incredibly talented and incredibly renowned on their own. Blippi’s YouTube channel has nearly 18 million subscribers. Songs for Littles by Ms. Rachel has sold more than four million copies. Blippi and Meekah will appear in an episode on Ms. Rachel’s channel this summer. Simultaneously, Ms. Rachel will accompany them on their journey. Two episodes were filmed at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan by the new BFFs. Meekah and Blippi visit Ms. Rachel in the Blippi episode, who shows them around the “big city.”

Katelynn Heil, General Manager of Blippi, explains that they explore the sounds around the city, make a song with instruments, hop on a train and test out wind tunnels, and pretend play in a food truck, to name but a few. It’s a great learning experience that models friendship, curiosity, and so much more.

But, that isn’t all. Rachel Accurso, who is, of course, the one and only Ms. Rachel, explains that they investigate the various sounds they hear in the city and play games like “Hide and Seek”, and “I Spy”. Ms. Rachel’s channel focuses solely on transportation. She states that the episode focuses on how vehicles get people where they need to go. Meekah, Blippi, and Ms. Rachel sing “Wheels on the Bus”, as well as a song about fire trucks.

Both Ms. Rachel and Blippi’s Songs for Littles aim to bring joy to the faces of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers while simultaneously teaching them something. It’s important to both Blippi and Ms. Rachel that they create accessible, high-quality content for children everywhere, which is why they love being able to distribute to their large audiences on YouTube.
