6 Truths About Self-love You Need To Know

1. It’s not selfish — if you don’t take care of yourself, who will? Relying on anyone or anything externally from yourself for love or fulfilment will never be a long-term solution because they could be removed at any time without notice. Anyone who calls you selfish for prioritising yourself is doing so because they have something to gain from you putting them or others first.

2. It’s not difficult — I hear many people say that they don’t know how to start loving themselves. You can begin by taking yourself out on dates — spoil yourself and give yourself things you wish your ideal partner would give you. Remember that you’ve never been single because you’re in a relationship with yourself — be the best partner you could ever wish for.

3. It fulfils you — whether you’re a codependent or a narcissist, if you start loving yourself you won’t need the affection or attention of anyone else to fulfil you. Many dysfunctional relationships are sustained by the deficiency of self-love, they stick together and share in the dysfunction because their only source of love is with each other.

4. Love attracts love — when you’re in a loving relationship with yourself you will attract others of a similar nature to you. You will notice that they do not behave dysfunctionally towards others because they are content and fulfilled within themselves. This is the law of attraction in full effect — love yourself to enter the love vibration and your life will change drastically.

5. It changes others — they will notice that you are no longer looking for their affection or validation because you are providing your own. Seeing drastic changes inspires curiosity in others and they may begin questioning their own actions as a result of you changing your ways.

6. It gives you freedom — when you love yourself you are free to do and be as you wish because you are not behaving in accordance with anyone else’s expectations or opinions. Doing what you love and what fulfils you is your only concern in life and this leaves you the freedom to decide who and what deserve a place in your life.

Loving yourself creates a life you love.

Peace & positive vibes.
