The Art Of Loving Yourself
Do you love yourself? Do you love your life? Do you love your habits? Do you love your physical nature? Do you love your personality traits? Do you love how you deal with conflict? Do you love the people closest to you? Do you truly love yourself?
Loving yourself is definitely an art that many of us have not mastered. Even for those that have “mastered” it, self-love is a continuous work in progress.
I love that song. I love that movie. I love that car. I love that shirt. I love those shoes. I love that place. I love that house. I love that book. I love him. I love her. I love you.
How easy love rolls off the tongue in regards to everything and anyone else, but how often do we say that we love ourselves?
Confidence (or lack thereof)
From as early as I can remember, self-confidence was never my strength. A large part of this was my physical appearance. It’s not that I was ever a bad looking guy, it was more so that I could not see past my flaws. No one is perfect, but growing up I had a bad habit of focusing on what I wanted to change, rather than what I liked about myself.
