Self love

Self-love?

What is self-love? How can we practice self-love?

When I was a teenager, I used to  think about these questions and try to find answer.

So for me,

Self-love is keeping yourself away from toxic people and relationships. If there is someone who is bringing toxicity into your life,let him/her go,even though it may be painful for you, but my Dear, you are too precious, so don't waste your energies and time on such stupid things.

Protect your energies for a better cause. 

Self-love is accepting yourself, your good and bad decisions. Embrace your past and make mistakes so you can  learn from  them and grow from them. You are constantly changing and growing from who you once were into who you are today and who you will be one day.Self-love teaches us not to hate yourself even when you mess up. Try new things knowing  that we could fail but we can rise again.

Self-love is prioritizing yourself.  Always put yourself first.Women, especially they don't prioritize themselves and they think about others first. In some situations,  you should think about others, but you  shouldn’t’ make it  a habit that costs you your mental health.Dont sacrifice your happiness to please others. Dont settle for less than you deserve.

Self-love means to love. Don't become under confident because of your body weight,height and skin colour. Remember your value doesn’t lie in your body and your  looks. You are beautiful and valuable because of your ethical values  and behaviour , not because of your body. So wear what makes you feel good. Always eat what you want to eat. Do things that  make you feel confident, comfortable, and happy.

Always  be kind to yourself. This world will try to break you  and will criticize you at your every step. Just be kind to yourself. Always talk to yourself and speak kindly. Appreciate your little decisions and choices. You’ve come so far and grown so much. You have faced everything with bravery so always appreciate yourself and celebrate yourself!

Self-love is that you have to accept that you can't do your best every time. Sometimes you will not feel good and you will not be able to give your best, but you have to be patient with yourself. You have to remember that you have come so far. You have survived in every difficult situation and you are trying your best.

Self-love is not like a miracle which will happen overnight. It will take time and practice. Take time for yourself to do these small things which bring a smile to your face and make you happy. Buy your favourite dessert a movie ticket and enjoy yourself. YOU DESERVE IT.
