"How to Love Yourself in Order to Succeed in Whatever You do"

Love Yourself and remain great

You can live a better and enjoyable life if you truly love yourself. An enjoyable life is one free from many debts, health setbacks, stress, poverty and more. Yes you can live healthier and longer enjoying your great grand children, fulfilling your mission on earth if you like yourself. Loving yourself means liking yourself and by extension, others.

Loving yourself does not mean getting what is meant for all alone, putting on the best dresses, driving in the most expensive cars or living in a well furnished house. Doing these things show pure self hatred.

On the contrary, when you look at the world today, people around you operate on self- interest . This results to situations where people get more than they need. Have you ever eaten until feeling constipated or have you ever drunk wine to the level of getting drunk? Each of these portrays greed and shows a situation where interest has pushed you to the level of getting more than what you need. This is how the world operates making it difficult for you to love yourself the way it is supposed to be or something closer to that.

What is self love?

Because of greed and selfishness, you may be convinced by words, little gifts or pretentious concerns to feel that an action or gesture made by someone to you is an expression of love. NO! Remember I told you that the world is governed by self—interest at any level and greed is often confused for self love.

Self-love can often be defined as appreciation, respect and care for yourself. It could be described as a mind set, a lifestyle, or just another tool in your mental tool box. Self love does not only benefit you specifically, it can make you a better person in your community.

I can authoritatively say that self-love consists of everything from your beliefs, practices and habits put together. Beliefs consider the way you feel about the world and the people there in. Practices refer to the way you express yourself as well as do things. Habits refers to the way you behave. Actions speak more than words. A deep study of your ways reveal that you can express self-love by:

1) Taking breaks whether from work or other stressful life situations.

2) Setting healthy boundaries in your work and personal relationships. 3) Believing in yourself, and acknowledging that what you are capable of is enough.

4) Setting realistic goals that don’t hold you to impossible standards.

5) Taking it easy on yourself when you make mistakes.

6) Giving yourself what you want.

7) Being comfortable and happy with being alone.

8) Using positive self-talks and congratulating yourself on every success, no matter how small and how many more.

Self-love is all about positivity and does not include unhealthy and disruptive behaviors. I have discovered that many, like you, still misinterpret self-love. Below are some things that do not fall under self-love:

1) Having an extreme, unhealthy view of yourself.

2) Believing that you know everything and you are better than everyone else.

3) Prioritizing yourself at the expense of others.

4) Taking more than you need or give.

Narcissism and self-love is not the same thing. Anyone can practice self-love while still being a selfless, caring and considerate person. In no way is a life that is driven by self-love harm those around you.

Loving yourself is the best thing you can do to yourself. Knowing how temporal your life is, and giving it maximum attention is none—negotiable. Self-love has the number of benefits:

1) Self-love improves your mental health and relaxes you from unnecessary fear and tension.

2) Self-love reduces stress. Stress is the most detrimental factor to your mental health. Self-love can Reduce the influence that stress has on your life. In the long run, it can make you more resilient.

3) Self-love leads to better empathy, Self-love may come to you like a form of selfishness, but in reality it makes you more empathetic. After all, if you see the good in yourself despite your weaknesses, you can do some for others.

4) Self-love leads to success with personal goals. A big issue with you when you set goals is the shame and guilt that come with not fulfilling them. When you fail to achieve your goals, your first thought is how weak and lazy you are.

5) Self-love changes the way you interact with yourself. Now, you’ll see failures as normal and expected. You will no longer seek for perfection, but a healthy attainment of your goals... and healthy goals to begin with.

6) Self-love helps you to create better relationships. The bad reality is that many of your friends and relatives won’t like it when you set boundaries if you’ve never set them before, then toxic people may attempt to step over them. However, these boundaries will make your relationship better with those who really matter. Boundaries ensure that no one takes advantage of you. However, don’t forget that these boundaries are the ones you set for yourself. Making it clear what you will or won’t do ensures you never to do more than you can handle.

7) Self-love makes you wear dresses that demonstrate commitment to yourself. You don’t dress odd.

After knowing the benefits of self-love, it is good to know how to love yourself.

But how do you love yourself?

1) Cut out all forms of negativity. Negativity can arise from toxic relationships, degrading jobs, or bad living conditions. Remove these things from your life as much as you possibly can. Those include bad habits like negative self talk

2) Setting healthy boundaries is essential when it comes to self-love. Unfortunately, you still let your personal and work relationships go too far. You fail to tell those two groups where you draw the line.

3) Avoid guilt: Our society makes us feel guilty for doing “selfish” things. But understand that it is never selfish to take care of yourself.

Sometimes you need to step away from people and things for a moment to prioritize your mental well—being. Do the things you need within reason, to obtain self-love no matter what others say. Don’t fall victim to the mentality that this makes you weak.

Self-love as you have read above is about accepting your imperfections and building enough confidence that you are still important. The importance of self confidence cannot be understated in a society where self-care is often seen as selfishness. Pointing self-love means acknowledging your flaws and knowing your limits
