Love yourself, why not?

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

Can you honestly say that you love yourself? Are you having a hard time being happy with yourself? It is so easy to focus on your faults and everyone can dwell on their insecurities instead of the things about themselves that they are happy with. Doing this can cause you to dislike yourself. You may also be too busy focusing on others around you and not focusing on loving yourself. Some people don’t want to be alone and fear to do things on their own. This can really hinder your journey to self-love, as you have to learn to be comfortable being with yourself.

Ways To Learn To Love Yourself
if you don't go for your dreams

  • Have Fun By Yourself
    It’s always good to have a few days set by for yourself, that is just for you to do something fun. In doing this you can learn to enjoy your own company, and most likely feel more confident doing it on your own.This could be, going to the cinema, going on a date with yourself or finding new things to try.

  • Travel Once A Year
    This may be completely out of your comfort zone, but that is a good thing! If you can travel on your own, this will be a great self-love experience. You will be learning new things not only about yourself but also another culture. This also helps to bring you out of your normal routine.
    This is one of the most memorable pic when I was in Korean.

  • Surprise Yourself
    Try things out of your control, and say yes to things you would not normally say yes to. This will also help you with getting to know yourself. You may find out that you enjoy things you never realized or tried before. Try and get out of your comfort zone and see what happens (it will most likely be positive!).
    If you can't, buy a pet, who can surprise you everyday.

*Learn How To Say No To Others
Sometimes we do too much for people, we like to please other people, so we tend to stretch ourselves too thin and commit to everything we can. We can forget to look after ourselves sometimes, so that’s why it is good to say no. Focus on yourself when you can, or if you are overwhelmed.

  • Pursue New Interests
    It’s great to try something new that you have wanted to try for a while, or have been too scared to do. You never know what you might enjoy until you try it, so think of a new hobby you could try, or go to a place you’ve wanted to go to for a while. For me, I would like to travel, because it broaden my knowledge and help me relax a lot.

Great Post, thank you for sharing with us

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

If you can't, buy a pet, who can suprise you everyday.
It should be surprise instead of suprise.

Have you entered a five minute game at #freewritehouse yet¿
