Self-love, the key to happiness?

The human being seems to be programmed to feel, express and externalize feelings throughout his life, since since we are born we live events that are forging emotions in us, which is why it is essential to understand each feeling and manage them in the most beneficial way, since there are emotions that are important to feel to heal aspects of our life, and even to forgive people.

Love is one of the most important feelings for a human being, it could be said that if we are full of love, everything bad seems to be more bearable and everything is in control, this feeling is responsible for the different hormones secreted as dopamine and serotonin.

Many people affirm that love is the key to happiness and individual peace, and it could be said to be true, hence the importance of having self-love.

When studying today's society, we can deduce that the lack of love has fostered or created a constant need in the human being, for this reason there are many people who do not have a good mental health, these problems tend to be driven by lack of self-love or lack of parental love, it is for this reason that there are people who spend part of their lives, looking for love in people who are not adequate to provide it.

Now, we must emphasize the importance of developing self-love in us, because this guarantees us better mental health, and we avoid depression as a result of lack of self-love.

What consequences can we experience if we do not have self-esteem?

As previously mentioned, depression is one of the consequences or conditions that can be observed more in cases of this type, since the individual tends to not feel enough, to get discouraged and to feel that he/she does not have a motivation for his/her life.

People who do not develop self-esteem get involved in toxic relationships in search of love, understanding and support.

Self-love is a very important part that each individual should develop throughout his life, to ensure self-esteem and avoid depression, toxic relationships and in extreme cases suicidal desires.
