What is self-love? Why is it important to love your own self? Why you should love yourself? How can someone love own’s self?
Self-love sounds like an idea of narcissists and why not, that’s how narcissism has been defined in the dictionary.
But in the truest sense, it’s a notion of appreciating ourself the way we are – appreciating and accepting our “being”.
Accepting ourself is a bigger task than being living under the pressure of being accepted by others. We tend to judge ourselves from the opinions of others’. Others’ opinions of our’s become the benchmark of what and how we think of our own self.
Often in the struggles that come with parenthood and juggling to strike the right balance, we tend to overlook ourselves. We stop paying attention to our happiness and start weighing other’s thoughts and opinions more. With that our self-confidence goes for a toss too. All we look for is acceptance and being liked by others.
There is a saying – you can’t pour from an empty cup. Isn’t that right? To love others, we must love ourselves first. Let’s be kind of to ourself first. Fill our heart with love for ourselves before pouring it out to others.
These 5 powerful self-love quotes that will make you think about loving yourself, before anyone else.
What is self-love?
Self-love is not just about feeling good. Self-love is appreciating oneself physically, psychologically and spiritually. It grows by things we do that mature us.
Eat well, exercise, sleep well, meet new people, socialise and most importantly, set boundaries. Say no to that everything and every person who drains your energy and surround you with negativity.
Those who don’t matter, they just don’t! They probably never will. So why to even burn your energy thinking about them!! Ignorance is bliss, sweetheart! Keep away your thinking scarf and put on your dancing shoes. Dance to the tune of your heart. Dance away.
All you have to do is love yourself and take yourself back to your old self.
Practice good self-care and you will start loving yourself more when you pay more attention to your basic needs.
