Day 30: Choose Self-Love

This meditation is a part of Verywell Mind’s 30-day meditation email series, Pause & Play. We hope you continue your mindfulness journey with us. For more videos, check out our meditation library.

15-Minute Video Meditation to Choose Self-Love

We've often been told that in order to love others, we need to love ourselves first. But what does that even look like? What does loving ourselves mean? And how do we know when we've reached that level of self-compassion? As we wind down our Pause & Play meditation series, this final meditation is meant to explore all of those questions and more.

If you've stuck with us for this entire 30-day journey, go on and shower yourself with some extra love today. You did that! We hope this mindfulness journey has helped you connect with yourself and with others in a deeper, more meaningful way—and made you a bit happier and more present as a result.

Remember, there's no "right" way to feel now that you've reached the end of this series, and your mental health journey doesn't need to stop here. No matter where your path takes you next, we're right here when you need us. Want more meditations? Check out our library of guided meditations on Verywell Mind.
