Love yourself

in love •  7 years ago 

Ok one of the things I am about to try in my life is loving myself more. It's been said many times that if you can love yourself then you open yourself up to truly love other people.

I have been reading a short book called Love yourself like your life depends on it by Kamal Ravikant. In it there are 3 main excercises he does every day which are repeatedly saying to himself "I love myself". Looking into your own eyes in the mirror for about 5 mins or more a day and saying "I love myself" and doing a music meditation where he breathes in thinking "I love myself" and breathes out and notices any thoughts or feelings with that.

He does say ofcourse the more you can feel it and believe it then the more you will quicklier create a deeper groove which your mind will naturally flow with.

So I have tried this a bit on and off but I want to make myself accountable so I am going to post my progress on here and notice if and what changes occur in my life.

This is going to take commitment so it may also be a test of personal will and discipline as well. But to me the rewards seem completely worth it if I can increase the love for myself and then naturally for other people.

Thanks all and Merry Xmas!

be strong and love yourself , If someone discourages u do not allow him to frustrate you, do not listen, close your ears and go, if you fall reach your hand, but be careful to hold the wrong person's hands :)

Thanks, it certainly does take strength.

loving oneself for me is in deed a manifestation of being grateful to God for giving us one.
For many people die before their time.

love the idea here!

Yeh greatfullness is so important and a great act of loving yourself.

I study some psychology and self-love comes from trusting ourselves and that we follow through on what we say. Also by complimenting others, because if we criticize someone else, we subconsciously criticize ourselves. Wish you all the best in your progress.

Yeh your right what we dislike about others really we dislike about ourselves. Yeh and following through, the commitment, is such a big factor in building the self confidence and trust in ourselves.

Exactly !

So true, we must stand for our self love and others around us
