 Without a doubt, you are
the most important person in your life. Ironically, however, many
people don’t get along with themselves.
In other words, many of us
don’t know how to love ourselves. Loving yourself and feeling great
about yourself is very important for your happiness. If you don’t have
a healthy relationship with yourself, you can’t really have meaningful relationships
with others, either. Before trying to love other people, learn to
love yourself first!
Know Yourself Better : Sit down in a quiet room with a piece of paper and a pen.
Then, ask questions about yourself and write the answers down. In order to love someone,
you have to first know that person.
Ask yourself about the things you like and dislike. Also think about
the things you are good at and poor at. Of course, you have to think
about your goals, dreams, and future career, too. Think
freely about yourself. Knowing
yourself is the first step in building self love.
Accept
Yourself the Way You Are : No one is perfect and everyone has
flaws. Accept your flaws
and the fact that you are imperfect.
Do not criticize yourself for being
imperfect. Instead, be nice and gentle to yourself. Look
in the mirror and say, “It’s OK
to have flaws. I still love myself very much. I will learn from my
mistakes and try to become a better person.”
Then, give yourself a big, warm hug!
 Focus on
Your Abilities : Focus on your strengths to boost your self-confidence. If you are
good at doing something, put more time into that subject to improve your skills. Feel
proud and grateful for having special
talents!
Practice Praising Yourself : If you want to grow
the love you have for yourself, always think positively about yourself.
Praise yourself every day
in front of the mirror. It
may feel awkward at first, but as
you make it a daily habit, you will be able to do it more naturally. Take it easy and be patient with yourself. It
takes time to build good habits.
Enjoy Your Life : You need to feel happy to love
yourself. Do the things that make you feel happy and alive. Have a lot of fun
in your life. However, in order to have fun you need to stay healthy. So look after your body by eating
healthy food and exercising regularly. Your body is your
home and you should treat it with respect, love, and care. |
