What is self-love? Self-love is a feeling related to self-esteem, which needs to be taken care of every day. To have self-love does not mean to love oneself or to believe oneself, but rather to know oneself, to know what our strengths and weaknesses are, to know the tools we have to react to situations and what resources we can learn. . Self-love implies that there has been a journey within us, that we have had a conversation with ourselves and that we have managed to make peace with each one of our "selves". Self-love depends solely on you, on how you see yourself, and not on what others think.
In our culture or education we are taught to have love and respect for others without letting us know that love for ourselves is the same or even more important. And how do we get it? With self-esteem, if our self-esteem is elevated, self-love will be the dance that will make it fly.
It is normal for people to see self-esteem or high self-esteem in a negative way, such as pride or arrogance, something selfish. But tell me, would not it be more selfish on our part not to love us? They call me a narcissist, because I take a lot of pictures, I'm always fixed, I always feel beautiful, my phone can be full of selfies and have my background photos, but above all things I prefer to love me, have an elevated self-esteem, knowing that I prefer ... and in the moment that you not only say that you love yourself, but that you believe it is where you feel best, because there is nothing more beautiful than wanting you primarily, to know that You are invincible, that if someone does not decide to be with you. No matter you love yourself and you are self-sufficient, and being a woman you can be independent and not only do you know yourself better than anyone and you know what your virtues and flaws are, what fills you and motivates you.
Some people that I have met on the road suffer, their lack of self-love is high, they look in the mirror and feel that they are worthless. All this is a consequence of low self-esteem.
If you have lost your self-esteem, here are some ideas on how to recover it:
- Make your friend: look from the outside in and practice empathy with yourself every time you go to self-judge think twice and remember that you can make mistakes, we are not perfect just happy.
- You are unique: yes, all human beings are, each one of us has a gift, a talent, a career, an occupation and totally different knowledge, no human being is equal to the other, so why not think about it? in all those characteristics different from the others, that make you unique and special.
3.Reconciliate with yourself: if you have not done it yet, you have to make peace with yourself, recognize that mistakes are part of learning and we all commit them, not mistakenly we become bad people.
This image may not have much to do with the subject, but it was my way of finding myself, by means of a camera, my self-esteem could rise, if you are in the role of the one who takes the photos or who takes photos for my is the same, with any of the two ways I get lost, I look for myself and I find myself ...
