After the collapse of the USSR, when love was followed by the party and the Motherland, psychologists, and after them all the others, began to talk about self-love. What was previously considered selfish and condemned in every possible way has become a vital necessity by the 21st century. You really need to love yourself - this is the basis of your harmonious relationship with the world, but you need to do it right.
Instructions
Step 1
Women's magazines and advertisements claim that a person who loves themselves should exercise and visit a massage therapist to maintain their beauty. He should indulge himself with a gourmet dinner, go to cinemas and concerts, do handicrafts and be happy. If you have been interested in the topic of self-love for a long time, and you have already read these magazines, then the first thing you should do is to understand that you do not have to do any of the above, and you do not owe anything to anyone, especially advertising and magazines.
Step 2
Do what you like. Perhaps at first it sounds a little fantastic, because you need to go to an often unloved job in order to earn money, then run to a boring fitness, then listen to a friend's complaints about an unsuccessful marriage. Do not be afraid to change your job for a less high-paying, but more interesting one. Fitness can be replaced with dances that are interesting for you, and you should only communicate with people who are pleasant to you.
Step 3
Take a close look at yourself in the mirror and note the traits you don't like. Start working on them. Pump up your abs, change the mouse hair color to a brighter one.
Step 4
Imagine that there is no lack of you. You have a perfect belly. Praise yourself for this whenever you walk past the mirror. That being said, don't forget to exercise. This is one of the most effective ways to love yourself.
Step 5
Think about how you would love yourself. Perhaps for self-love you don't have enough to learn to swim, or be able to draw, or dress like a former classmate. If the cause is removable, do everything in your power to ensure that nothing interferes with your self-love.
Step 6
Appreciate yourself. Don't do things that you don't value in other people. May your every day be filled with meaning. Feel free to tell loved ones about your accomplishments. The support and admiration of family members will help you understand that you are worth a lot, and you have something to love for.
