Self-love, self-acceptance and self-esteem are indispensable conditions for achieving harmony in life. It is difficult to be happy without the approval and understanding of one's own actions and without a good attitude to one's own person.
Self-dislike leads to low self-esteem, doubts about the correctness of one’s actions, inability to achieve desired goals, and failures in career growth and personal life. To understand whether you value yourself high enough, you should understand yourself.
Expression of self-love
Self-love is manifested in the ability and desire to take care of yourself, your comfort, as well as in the desire for development. A person who appreciates his dignity is freed from self-pity and guilt towards others. Such an individual gains inner freedom.
People who love themselves know how to forgive themselves. They do not exhaust themselves with endless thoughts about what their life might be if they had not committed one or another offense. Such people trust themselves and do not judge themselves too harshly. Remember that there are no ideal people, and that excessive self-criticism does not lead to anything good.
Individuals who love themselves do not compare themselves with others. They accept themselves as they are. For some reason, some people highly value others and see in them a lot of advantages. And in themselves they notice only flaws, shortcomings. The ability to concentrate on the good in oneself is also a sign of love.
Anyone who loves and accepts himself, realizes that he is worthy of the best blessings in life. He gladly accepts wealth, success, luck, good attitude of others. This attitude attracts positive scenarios of events in life. Those people who do not treat themselves well enough can experience stress, suffer from the “impostor” syndrome, wait for a trick, and thus provoke trouble.
A person who loves himself communicates only with those people who help him grow or bring joy to life. They are attentive to their social circle and do not let into them those who are negative, take energy or use them.
An individual with an adequate attitude towards himself, without any twinges of conscience, parted with people manipulating others. He knows how to refuse if the request harms his interests, does not try to please everyone or to please everyone at the expense of. Such a person believes that it is more important to be good for himself, and not for everyone else, except for his own person.
