Tabhair grá duit féin, maybe. Doesn't sound natural to me, though.

I read on another forum that you can say "love yourself" this way as well:

Bíodh grá agat duit féin
Literal meaning: Let love be at you for yourself.
Slightly less literal: Have love for yourself.

is this a better translation?

That sounds possible to me, but wait for my betters to come along. Don't abandon this idea too soon. Hold out for a bit longer before you start investigating being beautiful etc or it will all become very jumbled with people responding to different translations. if you do plan to start a new stream of thought, I would suggest starting an entirely new thread and keep two entirely separate lines of enquiry going; otherwise it is going to become very confusing.

My vote would go for the Bíodh grá....., although there's a lot to be said for Tabhair grá.... 8-)

I guess I just need one or two more confirmations. Please confirm if you thinks the translation is okay.

Bíodh grá agat duit féin is fine. Make sure not to omit those three accents.
