Let's talk about self-love. The google definition is having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Let's expand that a little more. Having self-love or “love of self” means the ability to find contentment in all the things that make you. It is like you are dating someone, but it happens to be you that you are dating. It is you having confidence and love for yourself. Self-love can be hard to achieve since we are in a world of social media but having the ability to love yourself is essential. It does take time and dedication while being a lengthy process to even be at that point. But I’m here to help eliminate some of the adversity.
The one thing about me is that I’m in love with learning new ways to improve myself. I like listening to audiobooks and reading books on different exercises and methods to help myself grow mentally, emotionally, and physically. I think it’s significant to want to grow more and learn new things about yourself. I have learned how to accomplish self-love over the years and love to share my knowledge with you. So here are tips for finding self-love.
Eliminate that little judgmental voice in your head. It is easier said than done, but getting rid of it will help you find self-love. Whenever you have that voice telling you that you are not good enough, think about things you like about yourself. And say more often encouraging phrases like “I am enough” and “I am beautiful.” You will be surprised how much confidence you gain by doing this.
Forgive yourself more. What I mean is to be easier on yourself when you feel like you could do better. We, humans, like to be so hard on ourselves, and it is not acceptable for our self-esteem. You have to understand and accept that you are not perfect to truly love yourself. Allowing yourself to make mistakes while learning from them can have a positive impact on your confidence.
Understand your mind. Being more aware of your emotions and behaviors make you understand yourself. This helps you see the bad habits that harm you mentally and makes it easier to change them. People who know how they feel and understand their thoughts tend to know what they want than what others want for them.
Get rid of people that don't support you. People who don't like seeing your happiness and success should not be around you. You shouldn't waste your time on those people, it's not good for your confidence. Removing them out of your life will help you find self-love since we all get influenced by others. Be around people that have good positive vibes and supports you.
The last and tip are to STOP comparing yourself to others. We are all not the same, and comparing yourself to someone that is not like you doesn't help find self-love. There is a difference between looking up or admiring someone than comparing your life to theirs. When you compare yourself to others, you waste your energy focusing on other people's lives rather than your own. Whenever you start comparing yourself to people, think about why you are doing it. This will help you know the real issue of why you start comparing.
I hope these tips help your process in finding self-love. Remember you deserve to have confidence in yourself, and having self-love will achieve that.
