Self-love, self-acceptance and self-respect are indispensable conditions for achieving harmony in life. It is difficult to be happy without approval and understanding of your own actions and without a good attitude towards your own person.
Self-dislike leads to low self-esteem, doubts about the correctness of their actions, inability to achieve desired goals, failures in career growth and personal life. To understand if you value yourself highly enough, you need to understand yourself.
Expression of self-love
Self-love is manifested in the ability and desire to take care of yourself, your comfort, as well as in the desire for development. A person who values himself according to his dignity is freed from feelings of self-pity and guilt towards others. Such an individual acquires inner freedom.
People who love themselves know how to forgive themselves. They do not exhaust themselves with endless thoughts about what their life might be like if they had not committed one or another offense. Such people trust themselves and do not judge themselves too harshly. Remember that there are no perfect people and that being overly self-critical does not lead to anything good.
Self-loving individuals do not compare themselves to others. They accept themselves as they are. For some reason, some people highly value others and see a lot of advantages in them. And in themselves they notice some shortcomings, shortcomings. The ability to concentrate on the good in yourself is also a sign of love.
The one who loves and accepts himself realizes that he deserves the best benefits in life. He gladly accepts wealth, success, luck, good attitude of others. This attitude attracts positive scenarios of events in life. People who don't feel good about themselves can feel stressed, suffer from impostor syndrome, wait for a trick, and thus provoke trouble.
A person who loves himself communicates only with those people who help him grow or bring joy to life. They are attentive to their social circle and do not let in those who carry negativity, take energy or use them.
An individual with an adequate attitude towards himself, without unnecessary scruples of conscience, breaks up with people who manipulate others. He knows how to refuse if the request harms his interests, does not try to please everyone or please everyone to his detriment. Such a person believes that it is more important to be good for himself, and not for everyone else, except for his own person.
Love yourself
Study your merits carefully. Focus only on what is good about you. This also applies to character traits, and features of appearance, and professional qualities, and achievements in the past. This exercise will help you build your self-esteem. Forget the habit of making comparisons that are not in your favor. This is not constructive.
Learn to accept praise and compliments correctly. Some people, having heard something good about themselves, begin to wonder or make excuses. It is immediately clear that they are not quite in harmony with themselves. Be confident that you are worthy of gratitude, sympathy, and love.
Be generous to yourself. Don't skimp on your desires and comfort. It happens that a person is ready to spend a lot of money on the pleasure of a person close to him, but does not take the same step in order to get benefits for himself. Get rid of such double standards and unnecessary modesty.
Take care of yourself, respect your body. It deserves the best, so ensure yourself the maximum care, rest, quality food and the necessary physical activity. The correct way of life should be a deserved reward for the most beloved creature - yourself, and not a guilty burden or some kind of punishment. Therefore, you need to make compromises and find the most pleasant ways to maintain and increase your own health.
Place beauty around you. This includes your clothes, which you should really like, as well as the decor at home and at work. Surround yourself with pleasant things, spend the necessary amount of time, effort and money to make you feel good.
