The Body Shop believes that in order to create a positive change in the world,

we must start with creating a positive change within.

That's why it's launched its self-love uprising.

This campaign aims to inspire one million acts of self-love in one year

to create more love and positive change in the world.

My journey to self-love isn't one with an end date.

It's something that I commit to on a daily basis.

When I treat myself with respect and kindness,

the more compassionate I can be to my friends, my family,

my community and the planet.

We live in a society which teaches women and marginalised people

not to love ourselves.

We exist in spaces that tell us that we're too much

to take up less space and to always watch our backs.

In a society where it is literally an act of rebellion to rest,

I've made a vow to commit to self-love every single day.

For me, that means taking the time to cook one of my favourite dishes,

organise and reorganise my wardrobe,

or give myself an evening facial massage while I cleanse.

It truly is the small things that bring me joy and help me spread love,

which then extends to those around me, my community and the planet.
