Here's a few reasons why it is so very important to love yourself and how do you learn to cherish all the amazing features you have in you (even on the bad days).
1. You will accept yourself. You might not like the shape of your nose, or the super annoying high pitched laughter you have, or even the short temper you sometimes just simply cannot control, or the fact that sometimes you just can't succeed in every single thing you do. But when you love yourself, you will accept your flaws, your quirky features, your little unique traits and potentials. When you love yourself, you don't have the need to compare yourself to others and therefore affect your self image in a harmful way. You'll feel powerful and inspired.
2. It's a huge confidence boost. Yes confidence can come from external factors, but you are the most important person in your own life - so it should be your own opinion about yourself that gives you the confidence to carry yourself with pride. Act with confidence and you'll surely attract some good people in your life, it is a well known fact that we are attracted to confident people. I was told the other day by someone that I am probably one of the most confident woman they have ever met in their life, but trust me - I don't always feel that way and I certainly have not been like that for long. In the last year or so I have really learnt to love myself, to appreciate myself and to value myself in a way that I never did before and I hope that is what this person saw in me. However, there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance, be careful not to cross it. 3. Love yourself and look better. This is simple - if you love yourself you want to take care of yourself, but you will also radiate positive, strong energy and people will see that from you. You'll stop worrying about your little imperfections and start cherishing your beautiful features.
4. Happier relationships, love life and family connections. Again, very simple. If you love yourself, you feel more confident, and act and connect better in relationships. You won't be so prone to jealousy or other very poisonous feelings when it comes to love and relationships. Also, family dynamics will be so much better and stronger when each member loves and values themselves and won't let others treat themselves poorly.5. Helps you to stop procrastinating. When you believe in yourself, you will achieve your goals better. A big part of loving yourself is believing that you have what it takes to get where you want to be, and stop creating excuses that are holding you back.
6. Better mental health. Loving myself makes me a happier, healthier me and it is easier to swerve away from the self-loathing, self-defeating and self-destructive thoughts.
Last but not least...
7.You're happy to be by yourself and don't constantly crave attention, company or other people's approval. I think everyone should be their own best friend. The older I've gotten, the more I have started to appreciate my own company and spending Friday evening writing on my laptop, reading a good book or binge watching something on TV, without the constant need of checking my phone or sending a dozen messaged within 10 minutes. You should be content being on your own, not always needing to be surrounded by a large group of people and wanting their acceptance or needing them to boost your happiness. Happiness and peace of mind comes from the inside and there's no better way to find them than to spend some me, myself and I time.
What do you guys think, where does self love come from?
