Self-love might be something you’re struggling with.
So let’s talk about eight things.
He needs to know about self-love.
Number one self-love is not a linear process.

Even when you consciously practice self-love, you may sometimes feel grumpy, tired, anxious, sad lonely, or defeated On those days.

We are conditioned by society to believe that self-love is selfish.
How many times have you stepped back from a commitment and instantly felt guilty? How often do you say no to someone and feel self-absorbed? Feeling this way is normal and understandable because society has led us to believe that prioritizing our own needs is selfish, but this is not true.
Despite everything that society has told you taking, care of your own needs is one of the most important things you can do.
Your health and happiness are yours to protect and maintain Taking the steps to do so is never selfish. Number three self-love is not a rapid process.
Think of the people, you love most, and it takes some time to love them firmly and completely.
When you begin to learn how to love yourself, it may take some time for you to feel it and understand, though, that similar to loving other people, loving yourself, is a process and a journey.
It may not and probably won’t happen overnight and that’s, okay, Do you tend to dwell on your flaws? We want na remind you that your flaws are what make you unique.
They’re part of what makes you the wonderful human that you are Number four self love is important because it opens even more doors for you to give and receive love.
Have you ever heard that phrase or versions of it where they say, love yourself? First, It’s true the way you love yourself shows others how to love you, According to licensed marriage and family therapist, John Kim from Psychology Today forming a healthy relationship with yourself that is full of care.
Understanding, compassion, and healthy boundaries will help you achieve that kind of relationship with yourself and others Number five uncovering the sources of healing can be difficult.
Are you in the process of emotionally healing? If so, you should be proud that you’re taking the steps to heal for it.
Isn’t easy, Like self-love healing not only takes time, but it’s.
Also, very complex, Unraveling, possible years of bury trauma is daunting. If you become overwhelmed during this process, know that you aren’t alone digging deep and healing from past wounds or reoccurring ones can be an overwhelming process.

Have you ever noticed the negative connotation that’s around self-compassion, perhaps disguised as making excuses or feeling sorry for yourself? The truth is that one of the greatest sources of strength is being able to have kindness and compassion for your own experiences in life.
We have this unfortunate quality to automatically blame ourselves When things go wrong.
If you didn’t get a job or get into college pick, you tend to believe that you aren’t qualified enough.
If a friend is mad at you, you tend to blame yourself first rather than objectively examining the situation.
This could lead to lower self-esteem, more negative self-talk, and even self-loathing if it goes unchecked.
Self-compassion is something that lives inside of you, rather than suppressing it for the sake of others, The more you consciously accept the understanding and kindness you want to offer yourself the more your self-esteem and confidence will grow.
Number.
Seven self-love means following the yearnings of your own heart, even if that’s, not what others want. Have you ever felt obligated to do something because you were being pressured by others To take up a certain hobby or go down a certain career path that you didn’t want?

Part of loving yourself is giving yourself the right to follow your dreams and your own heart, no matter what others have to say.
Those who judge you or impose their dreams on you also have their chances to take.
Your passions are strong and beautiful.
They’re, unique to you that which makes your heart sing is yours to cling to.
You deserve to feel happy and fulfilled.
No matter what others have to say And number eight self-love isn’t always fun.

It’s doing what’s best for you, even if it doesn’t necessarily excite you at the moment. Self-love can be going to bed early when you know tomorrow is an important day Choosing to stay in, so you can finish an assignment, or saying no to a loved one, so you can have time for rest.
You have sat down and are respecting your boundaries, and that is a great thing.
