Love yourself

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

There is really no point in loving others if we don’t love ourselves first. We have to taste love in order to be able to give love.

Be fair with yourself.

We are the stricter judges of ourselves. We have an amazing ability in focusing on our mistakes and carrying them even for a lifetime. We have to accept that mistakes are a part of the game. Everybody does mistakes so stop accusing you. Move on stronger and wiser and don’t insist blaming you. Set you free from guilt and continue doing just the best that you can.

Be honest with yourself.

Look deep in you and find your own truth. Not what others dictate as your truth. Find what makes you wanna be the best version of you. Find what makes you happy and follow your own dream.

Respect yourself.

Somehow we tend to neglect that. We put ourselves back in order to satisfy others. We suppress our needs for others’ needs. Stop punishing you that way. Respect yourself and then respect others.

Spoil yourself.

Do what makes you happy, enjoy each and every one of your days, dedicate some time to spoil you. To treat you better than anyone else. This doesn’t mean that you are selfish, it means that you love you.

Take time with yourself.

Being alone with your thoughts and spending time just with you is vital. You need to learn that. This improves your self esteem and deliberates you. Go for a walk and empty your mind, without having to chat with anyone, without “spending” energy for anyone else but yourself.

Accept yourself.

Embrace your edgy side, your flaws, even your negative emotions. Everything you feel is yours and makes you unique. Nobody is perfect and nobody has to be perfect.

All these are really true, because sometimes we really forget to take care of ourselves...

Unfortunately yes, we tend to forget what matters the most..
Thank you for your comment :)

This is my mantra to my daughter on an almost daily basis! Great stuff @eliakon

Well done! What you do is wonderful, as parents have an obligation to learn their children appreciation of themselves.. That's how they'll become healthy adults!
Thank you so much @airlea :)

I thought I was perfect :\

Ah that's cool! I didn't mean to ruin that! :P

We have to accept that mistakes are a part of the game.

Mistakes are just lessons that you learn and never make again... hopefully

Find what makes you wanna be the best version of you.

True! Never improve yourself for other people, improve yourself for you, love yourself!

Take time with yourself.

I normally do this in the shower, after 20 minutes my father starts screaming "You are going to spend all the HOT water!!" and that's when i get out as fast as i can, dress myself and tell him "I already finished the bath 10 minutes ago!"

hahaha even in the shower you can have some time with yourself.. Take your time and spend as much hot water you want :P

@eliakon, I totally agree with you points. Personally an individual have to know is capabilities, capacity and be able to respect that. If you content and happy with yourself, you will be able to relate with others better.

That is absolutely true! It all flows from ourselves!
Thank you for your comment :)

This is the foundation for happiness and real, honest love... Great post once again!!

Exactly.. :) Thanks a lot once again! :))
