Self-Love: Learn to be Your Own Biggest Fan

 


What Does Self-Love Really Mean?

There’s a fine line between self-love and selfishness. Self-love is to appreciate and endorse one’s being, one’s existence, and acknowledging one’s potential. It is to take care of our psychological, physical, and subconscious state of mind.

Importance of Loving Yourself:


Why is it necessary to practice, one may ask? Because it keeps one’s self from subconsciously undermining and belittling one’s very capabilities. And why keeping away from such thoughts necessary? It’s imperative because constantly thinking of such negative ideas eventually becomes a part of one’s self-belief. And if one starts clouding the mind with all sorts of negativities, then it not only holds them back from achieving their full potential but could also lead them to various mental health diseases.

Cleanne Johnson, in her book, “Love My Colors,” gives a powerful message on the importance of loving oneself via a resilient character who learns to feel comfortable in her skin, paying no heed to what the others have to say about her.



Be Your Number One Fan:

Sooner or later, you’ll realize that with the passage of time, people will come and go, some friends will turn into strangers, some may turn their back on you in your times of need. You need to realize that the one who would remain with you till the end is YOU. And this is why you must become your number one fan.

·         Mindset:

Develop a strong mindset. Work on your thought-process every day so that you possess an unwavering belief in yourself and become a means of moral and emotional support to you in times of hardships. Instill positive thoughts in your mind, and do not fear failures.

·         Be Proud of Your Achievements:

Cheer for yourself. Give a pat on your back each time you accomplish a task, be it big or small. It’s necessary to focus on our positive side, rather than only criticizing one’s mistakes. Understand that you are in the learning phase and are bound to err. Everyone errs. This entire life is a journey about learning new things.

·         You’re Perfect the Way You Are:

Always think highly of yourself. Believe that you are strong, fearless, beautiful, talented, and admire everything about you. Your opinion about yourself is the only thing that should matter to you.
