Imagine telling someone, “I Love You”, but after that, what if you don’t pay attention to them for the upcoming years. Would your relationship work for a long time knowing that you once told them, “I Love You”? Of course , no! Relationships need effort to maintain, right?
You need to express your love through actions, words, and activities to manage relationships in your life, right? It’s the same with ourselves. Just saying we’ll do things isn’t enough.
We have to actually do them and show them to ourselves as proof in our own minds. When we do that, we start feeling better about ourselves, which is called self-esteem.
If you don’t make time for yourself or take care of yourself, it’s like telling your mind that you don’t love yourself. It’s a sign that you’re lacking self-love.
Every day, without even realizing it, you’re giving evidence to yourself that you don’t value yourself enough. If this keeps happening, you’ll start feeling restless inside, and it might even start showing on the outside later.
How can you expect to love others and receive love from others if you can’t love yourself properly? How can you be a source of happiness and spread joy to others?
I used to be someone who struggled with self-esteem and self-love. I used to blame all my problems on other people and think that no one truly loved me. But then I realized that the root of the problem wasn’t others—it was within me.
When I started to love myself and prove to myself that I’m worthy of love, my subconscious mind began to accept me for who I am. That’s when I started to feel happier.
When we’re happy on the inside, we naturally become a source of happiness for those around us. We become an inspiration to others. Now, many people come to me seeking advice on finding their own happiness, regardless of their age.
Self-love acts:
There are different types of self-love activities to increase your self-worth and self-esteem. A few categories that must be implemented in daily life are listed below.
Spending time nourishing your body is self-love:
Set aside time for nurturing your body with nutritious food and regular exercise for at-least 15 minutes. Prioritizing self-care routines that promote health and vitality is proof of self-love.
Spending time to relax your mind is self-love.
Carve out moments to quiet your mind and disconnect from the constant noise of technology and external demands. Cultivating practices like meditation, breathing exercises or any mindfulness activities to foster mental clarity and peace is part of Self-Love
Working towards financial stability is self-love.
Take proactive steps to manage your finances and secure your future. Budgeting, saving, and investing in your financial education are all acts of self-love that provide a sense of security and empowerment.
Spending time for emotional and intellectual growth is self-love.
Feed your mind with knowledge and experiences that promote growth and self-awareness. Finding time for at least a day in a week to engage in activities such as reading, attending workshops, pursuing creative endeavors, setting goals, acquiring new skills, pursuing personal development opportunities, etc. is part of self-love.
Spending time to nurture your important relationships is self love:
Cultivating meaningful connections with loved ones, investing in the quality of your relationships, and spending quality time with loved ones in your family, friends, and pets is self-love.
Self-love is a feeling, and self-care isn’t selfish—it’s a vital aspect of living a fulfilling and balanced life. Because self-love is the source of your own peace and happiness. So, commit to loving yourself fully and unconditionally, and watch as your life flourishes with joy, fulfillment, and authentic connection.
