How to Love Yourself
10 Mighty Tips to Do This
.
In this world, I know too many people who do not even know just how special they are.
.
They are either surrounded by negative people or they are too busy focusing on the negative that they do not even realize that there is something to be positive in life.
.
However, if you give yourself the love it deserves, it can heal any problem and your life will get better and more enjoyable.
.
.
If you are struggling right now, here are 10 pieces of advice to start falling in love with yourself:
.
.
How to Love Yourself MIGHTY TIP #1
STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS
.
“My cousin excels in everything. She already has a degree and is now pursuing medicine. She has a great voice and is very beautiful. What about me? I do not have anything to be proud of.”
.
Self-thoughts like this ruin your spirit. It not only lowers your self-esteem but it can result in stress and depression and think that you yourself are not good enough.
.
Every individual is unique in their own way. We might not have the same level of intelligence, social status, skills, and talents, but in the eyes of God, we are all his children who he created equal.
.
We might lack something, but we all have one thing where we excelled at that others do not have..
.
How to Love Yourself MIGHTY TIP #2
DO NOT OVER CRITICIZE YOURSELF
.
Criticism is a healthy part of our daily lives. It gives us ideas on how we can be a better individual. That is if you can handle criticism very well and does not let it get to you.
.
However, too much criticism can be damaging. You need to accept that there are some things in you that you cannot change and it is a part of your uniqueness.
.
Learn when not to accept and when to accept criticism. By doing this, you can improve yourself for the better.

FORGIVE YOURSELF
.
Humans are imperfect. No one─ absolutely no one─ in this world that did not commit any mistake. We all make wrong decisions. We all have hurt other people and said mean things that we cannot take back.
.
However, what is more important than all the wrong things we have done is how we correct it and learn from all the mistakes.
.
Blame yourself all you want, but remember to forgive yourself for all the mistakes you have done and stand up again.
.

How to Love Yourself MIGHTY TIP #4
DO NOT SCARE YOURSELF
.
The world is already a scary place. Do not scare yourself more by having unnecessary thoughts that can blur your focus and concentration towards your goals.
.
Stop terrorizing your mind with dreadful thoughts. Fill your mind with healthy, positive thoughts. This does not only improve your thinking but also improves your overall health.
.
How to Love Yourself MIGHTY TIP #5
PRAISE YOURSELF
.
We live in a world where we hear and see criticism everywhere. There are too many people who can fill your head with negative thoughts and bring you down.
.
If you are on the verge of breaking, praise yourself to build your spirit back. Remember all the times when you did well and tell yourself how great you are doing until now.

REMOVE TOXIC PEOPLE & SITUATIONS FROM YOUR LIFE
.
.
If you want to love yourself better, you need to remove those people and situations which only have a negative influence on your life. Whether they put you down or influence you to make bad decisions in life, you need to cut any connection with them.
.
By doing so, you will see a great improvement in your life.

How to Love Yourself MIGHTY TIP #8
PAMPER YOURSELF
.
After all the things you have been through, after working or studying tirelessly, you deserve a break from all the hassle in life.
.
Go watch a movie. Do your nails. Relax in a spa. Take up cycling – oxygen will increase the feel-good factor which enhances a more positive disposition in life. Travel to serene places.
.
.
.
Once in a while, you need to give your mind and body the time to relax and enjoy life.

How to Love Yourself MIGHTY TIP #9
AVOID PERFECTIONISM
.
Loving yourself does not mean being perfect. It is accepting all the imperfect aspects in yourself.
.
Do not believe in the high standards of society. A great body, large butts and boobs, a perfectly contoured face, colorful make-up, and flashy dresses are not a basis to be beautiful and look perfect.
.
Accepting yourself, those bumpy belly fats, short legs, and chiseled face of yours is your own uniqueness. It is how God created you. And it is how you should let it be.

READ SELF-LOVE QUOTES
.
Your family and friends are great sources of motivation to love yourself and increase your self-esteem. Join a community of positive people. This can do no end to keep you motivated, positive and loving life to the maximum.
.
Read motivational articles, quotations, and sayings. You will learn and understand yourself more. Such things will influence and lead you to be good to yourself more.
.
In doing so, you will also be doing your health a world of good, avoiding degenerative diseases like cancer and heart disease. A positive outlook in life creates more endorphins, the ‘happy’ hormone, so you have more protection from the harms of modern health problems.
.
.
.
.
Final Thoughts:
Loving yourself is not a selfish act. It is a necessity to be able to live your life to the fullest.
Thich Nhat Hanh once said:
“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.”
You are awesome and unique and I know it! It is time you should know it too!
