Do you love yourself ?

How do you see yourself?

There's an old saying: "treat others as you would like to be treated". What does this mean for those who suffer from the lack of self-love?
Before we adore other people, we must learn how to love ourselves first.Before you help others, take care of yourself first. And before we can have a truly successful relationship, we must first learn to feel love for ourselves.

You probably have already heard that we should love ourselves before loving anyone else. In fact, if we don't love ourselves at least a bit, we are not even capable of loving any other beings . Loving yourself does not mean of course being selfish or thinking you need no improvement. it means just loving and respecting the person you are; with all you flaws and qualities.

Your inner self is like a young child: he/she needs hugs and practical proofs of love. But he/she needs also to be CLEARLY told that you love him/her. And you have to sound convincing, otherwise "the child" will not trust you! Cuddle yourself with little treats from time to time. Award yourself for little and bigger achievements. Begin your day telling yourself a big, warm, well deserved "I LOVE you!" Say it loud, with a bright smile,and every time you are in front of a mirror, tell yourself, "I love you and accept you completely."

Forgive yourself: Try to forget completely all the idiotic things you've done. The pain you've experienced, the embarrassments you have suffered and the mistakes you have made in the past.It's difficult to forgive ourselves. We can be our own worst critic. But the fact is blame is a destructive emotion.

See yourself at your best. You can start your day in frustration or confidence;take your pick. We all have bad days, but it's better to begin the day in a confident mood than in a mood of frustration.image. This love is definitely not to be confused with self-adoration or narcissism. It does not mean thinking that you are better than anyone else. It means having a healthy outlook of yourself, knowing that you are a worthy human being.

People who suffer from low levels of self esteem and don't care for themselves enough are often likely to be exposed to depression. Their relationships, their job, their physical health and whatever happens to them is negatively affected by their emotional issues. The only way to overcome this is letting yourself know how much you love you!.

What we really need is to learn to love ourselves. No one else can make us feel joy or sadness, these are feelings that are completely within our own control. Every day we as individuals make a choice to be happy and content with ourselves, or to beat ourselves up and be sad for the traits we lack.

Loving yourself is in fact all about embracing and accepting yourself who that you are, despite your faults, failures. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes one time or another.

To love yourself means to accept yourself as you are, to respect your beliefs and your body, understanding you and not trying to be someone else, having a positive self-image. You would begin loving yourself when you stop rejecting yourself.

To love yourself means getting rid of those unnecessary and useless comparisons of ourselves with other people. Ask yourself, if we try comparing ourselves to anybody else, what can we get or benefit from this? Not only this can weaken our self-image and underestimate our greatest qualities and assets, it also makes us seem as if we're lower than others and we have to live up to them. Self-respect and respect for others are just some of the qualities found in people who truly like and value themselves.Self-harm and self-destruction certainly are not parts of the qualities to love yourself.

True confidence comes from accepting ourselves as we are, recognizing that no one is perfect, and loving ourselves completely.when we recognize this we are capable of spreading our love among people around us.
