Protect your health and well-being by making positive changes in the way you think about and treat yourself.
You’re probably familiar with self-help books and talk show hosts who tell you to love yourself, but you may be wondering how to go about that. While your relationship with yourself is the most crucial connection in your life, it’s easy to forget about nurturing it.
However, self-love and compassion are too important to neglect because they shape your experiences and relationships with others.
Protect your health and well-being by making positive changes in the way you think about and treat yourself.
Changing the Way You Think about Yourself
Maybe you’re hard on yourself, or you’re so busy with external obligations that you rarely consider your personal priorities. Looking inward could help you to value yourself more.
These strategies will help you to think more highly of yourself:
Accept yourself. Know that you are worthy of love and respect just the way you are at this moment. Embrace yourself with all your strengths and weaknesses.
Clarify your purpose. Invent your own definition of success. Ask yourself what a meaningful life means to you, even if that answer changes over time.
Talk yourself up. How do you speak to yourself? Choose words that are encouraging and uplifting. Use your internal dialogue to build your confidence and manage your emotions.
Offer forgiveness. Let go of the past so that you can move on. Take any decisions that you regret and turn them into opportunities to learn. Make amends where possible and resolve to handle things more constructively in the future.
Avoid comparisons. Facebook didn’t invent social comparisons, but social media has increased the potential for envy and inferiority complexes. Try competing with your last performance instead of living up to someone else’s standards. You’ll accomplish more if you dare to be yourself.
Think positive. Looking on the bright side and being able to laugh at yourself makes you even more loveable. It also helps you to manage stress and deal with difficult circumstances.
Beautiful You, there is one person in your life that you cannot get away from your company every single day, and that is YOURSELF. Might as well enjoy that company by LOVING YOU.
Love Yourself.
