A short thought on loving yourself:
This is obviously cliché, but incredibly important. We are often our own biggest critics, and we may even think that because we are so critical of ourselves, other people will be equally critical of us. However, this is not usually the case.
People don’t know us as well as we do, and they probably wouldn’t judge us for the same things we judge ourselves for.
What I mean is, if you don’t love yourself, it can be difficult for others to love you. By doing things that challenge negative self-image and becoming your best version, you will begin to love yourself more. This, in turn, will allow more love to come into your life in the form of friends, partners, or even alone time.
We all deserve this.
Additionally, getting to know yourself better is an important part of learning to love yourself.
When you know yourself well, you can understand your behavior better and identify things you want to change.
Knowing yourself and what you like will allow you to move in the direction that is best for you. So, take the time to love yourself by getting to know yourself better.
“How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.” — Rupi Kaur.
