How you ever ask yourself how much you love you? If you can measure the amount of love that you have for yourself in what raking would it be from 1-10?
Points in consideration…
- amount of time spent comfortably alone
- amount of time nourishing the body (in and out)
- amount of time building better relationships
- amount of time learning and knowing yourself
- amount of time accepting what you deserve
Think about this: Of all the people you’ll ever know, you’re the only one you’ll never lose.
Many studies have proven that the path to self-love and a healthy self-esteem leads to a healthier, peaceful and meaningful life.
What can you do to make the most important relationship in your life worth it?
Be compassionate –We often tend to self criticize ourselves if we don’t meet our high standards. We go in an emotional roller coaster ride whose result is often insecurity and anxiety. So what’s the alternative? Develop self- compassion. Be kind and gentle. Allow yourself to realize that you aren’t perfect. Self-compassion offers the same benefits as high self-esteem, such as less anxiety and depression and greater happiness.
Create the right energy – Love your body, love your mind, love your whole mechanism, your whole organism. Don’t try to repress. Do things that lift you up. Do you like running? Listening to music? Feel better talking with good friends or family? Keep doing whatever makes you smile! Create an unbeatable energy that will make you glow. DO YOU!
Be alone – Finding oneself, one finds the meaning of life, the joy of life, and the splendor of life. Finding oneself is the greatest finding in anyone’s life, and this finding is possible only when you are alone. Don’t avoid your company. Make time to unplug. Realize YOU ARE UNIQUE. When you are absolute happy in your aloneness, when you don’t need the other at all – then you are capable of love.
Remember, it’s a path – Apply all these 3 steps above and come to realization that it’s a path. Takes time and is a habit that needs to be constant. You need to make time to check in. Get in tune with yourself. Ask the right questions “Am I happy here?” “How do I feel lately?” “Are you giving your best at work and relationships?”
If you try these steps for a few hours a week I assure you it will increase your happiness, your awareness in life situations and you will feel in complete control of you and the things in life you can or can’t change. Personal time is ‘time’ well spent. It’s precious and is more valuable because you are getting to know yourself. We can learn to feel good about ourselves not because we’re special, but because we’re human beings who are worthy of love.
Have a fun rest of the week and remember to love you!
