What Is Self-Love ? It is really great that we all have some ideas about what love is. But since, today's topic is about Self-Love so first of all we need to know what Self-Love is.

Self-Love simply means respecting,loving and taking care of one's own self. Self-Love means not sacrificing yourself, your well-being just to please others.

We all are different from each other. We all have different perspective, different thoughts. We all have different ways to take care of ourselves.

1.Talking to yourself with love and care. 2.Giving Oneself the most importance. 3.Putting one's trust on him/herself. 4.Being true and kind to oneself. 5.Forgetting and forgiving all your mistakes.

Self-Love simply means accepting yourself as who you are right now.

1.Try to be kind to yourself. 2.Try to be gentle and patient with yourself. 3.Stop comparing yourself to others. 4.Do not worry about other's opinions. 5.Allow yourself to make mistakes. 6.Put yourself first always. 7.Feel both pain and joy as fully as possible. 8.Do not be afraid to get rid of poisonous people.

We are always trying to fix and fit ourselves in the cookie cutter mold of our society. Our modern and developed society is formed in such a way that we are not only competing with others, but also competing with ourselves. If we can't live up to our society's expectation then we start to blame ourselves. As a result, we end up being hard , unkind on ourselves.

Love is the thing that motivate and encourage us to move forward, to achieve more. We all are Human being. We all have emotions. We all need love and care. We all talk about spreading love among each other, but the real questions are__. "Have we ever thought of loving ourselves"? "Do we value ourselves as much as as we value others"?

A person who love him/ herself never has to rely on anyone else to make him/herself happy. The love given by others will oneday run out, but your love for your own self will never end.

There is a misconception about Self-Love that 'Self-Love leads a person towards selfishness' but it is wrong. Self-Love do not teach us to be selfish. The real meaning of Self-Love is to put ourselves first in all cases and not to hurt ourselves for others.

When our dear and near ones make a mistake , we often forgive them in an instant. But when we make a mistake then _"Why do we become so tough on ourselves?"

The foremost and important thing is , we are human and it is absolutely okay to make mistakes and the other most important thing is to love yourself and is to be honest to yourself.

I hope you all are living a life that you can be proud of. But if you think you're not proud of your life, your life is going against your expectations and will, then you're definitely allowd to start your life from the beginning. We all have the secret courage strength to start all over again.

Some of us think that we will never be able to flourish, to bloom again after ruined ourselves by others then we have again a misconception about this. We will all blossom again, this is how our life has already been fixed and pre-destined like this, we must need to water ourselves with Self-Love.

We consider ourselves as cowered , as weak but at the end of our day we will see that we have endured much more pain than we think we can, this is how the magic of Self-Love works.

What are the benefits of Self-Love? There are lots of benefits of Self-Love, I'm not talking about all. Some of the benefits are__

• 1.When we learn to love ourselves only then our satisfaction and contentment in our life will grow.

• 2.Self-Love will always helps us to adopt good habits in our life.

• 3.The most important benefit of Self-Love is when we start to admire ourselves , we will not suffer more in our life. We will get relief from unnecessary depression and anxiety.

Try to love yourself as much as you love your friends and family. Lack of Self-Love comes when_. We consider ourselves more inferior than others, We think we are not worthy , we have to overcome this fear & illusion. The concept of Self-Love is nothing but about loving and enjoying who you are. Self-Love gives the courage to find one's own being within oneself.

Another meaning of Self-Love is to accept one's true self. It is the perfect time to gift yourself Self-Love. The real key and secret weapon of our happiness and contentment is Self-Love.

Before giving your love, respect and care to others try to love yourself first. When you feel that something is trying to knock you down, something is trying to stop you from loving yourself then please remove that thing from your mind.

Do you want some good news? If you want to hear some good news then Try to love yourself. Try to feed you soul. Try to train your mind, only then you will become the version of yourself. Do not forget that Self-Love has the profound impact in our life.

Self-Love works as glue , it helps us to attach our inner and outer soul together. No one in this earth has a better understanding of our inner self than us. You're the one who can only understand what is going inside you. Without Self-Love you're decreasing your own ability to be successful in life.

Do not murder yourself in order to make yourself perfect, in order to get rid of your weaknesses. Take your time to praise yourself, to congratulate yourself for your achievements. The one and only thing is standing between you and your success__is YOURSELF.

Is Self-Love selfish? The answer is absolutely NO. I'm not going to discuss about "Why Self-Love is not selfish", right now maybe someday I will talk about this in one of my next articles.

Self-Love implies considering yourself as valuable and worthy as others, NO LESS__NO NORE. Loving yourself doesn't make anyone selfish.
