The Significance Of Developing Self Love

By Susan Cooper


Being kind to yourself is hugely important. Sadly, this is something that people don't take into consideration. Most people set their sights on accomplishments and goals which will help them go further in the work place. They will focus on their family life. They may want to develop a new skill. However, developing self love is the first thing that you need to accomplish.

Without self love, you will find that your relationships will suffer and it you will begin to replace many of the finer qualities in your characters that you feel you lack with materialism or greater achievements, focusing on the outward appearances. People sometimes focus on other people, without paying enough attention to themselves and this can be crippling.

A lot of people don't know about their unique character. They are not aware of their special personality or their strengths and how they can use these gifts to the best of their abilities. This allows your personality to shine through. Many people become negative because they are constantly comparing themselves to their colleagues and their friends.

It is understandable why you may be harsh or unkind to yourself. You will have a stressful job. You may be a parent who has a child who is going through a bad patch. This can lead to self blame. You may also have come from a dysfunctional family. Individuals who have grown up in this way usually put themselves down and are often negative about themselves.

This is natural when someone has suffered from emotional abuse, for example. They would have been told that they are useless or that they will never get anywhere in life. This is obviously going to play on your mind. You will be negative about everything that you do. You will begin to hate yourself. In a case like this, you will need to seek therapy because it is more difficult to deal with.

Encourage yourself through the bad days. Things like depression and anxiety can definitely get you down. You will find that you will find this can lead to a lot of negativity in your life. You may find that self talk can creep into your life. When you are with the right sort of people, you will also find that you will grow and become more encouraged and motivated to move in the right direction.

You also need to be encouraged by friends and family who are positive about their lives. You can be motivated by people who have made a change for the better. It is obviously not a good idea to be surrounded by people who are negative about life. Going to a pub after work everyday is not going to be too helpful. Rather engage in a social activity, such as arts and crafts which is more therapeutic.

Self care is also something to pay attention to. You will feel so much better when you pay attention to yourself and the way in which you make yourself feel. This can include relaxing in a spa. Some people feel better after a massage. Changing your look by having a new hair style or buying a new outfit can also work well. Exercise or meditation also works wonders.
