Loving Yourself

Loving yourself, when first reading those words you may think that you are about read an article that was written by a philosopher, but the truth is, it’s going to be one of the most practical articles you have ever read.

What is meant by Loving yourself?

Loving yourself is accepting your strengths and weaknesses, and even going a step further to loving the way you are. The reason I decided to write such article is the strong effect that loving yourself has on both your self confidence and your relationships.

There once was a Man called Adam. Adam didn’t like his looks because he thought that he was fat. Adam thought that he hated his excess weight but the truth is that he hated himself for being fat. Adam’s unconscious mind has hidden this self hatred not to damage to Adam’s self confidence.

Everything was going fine, but there was something that has been troubling Adam since a long time. His striving for social approval, Adam used to feel confident by collecting complements and other messages that proves that people are approving him. Unless he felt that everyone loved him, he used to feel totally worthless without really knowing why.

But do you know why was he striving for social approval? Because he didn’t approve himself, and so he always needed an external source of approval in order to compensate for his feelings of being hated.

Loving Yourself and Hating Yourself

I know it may be hard to hear this for the first time but the truth is that need of approval and lack of self confidence are sometimes rooted to hating yourself. When you hate yourself your mind then strives to find you other people who love you in order to make you feel good, and when they leave you or reject you, you feel totally worthless.

If you really loved yourself,there wont be a need for your mind to search for this love in the outside world, and the result would be:

Feeling less bad when being rejected
Having more self confidence
Becoming more independent
Becoming emotionally stronger
Breaking the habit of love and relationship addiction
And much more

How to Love yourself

There is only one way to love yourself, focus on your points of strength and accept your weak points. When I say focus on your points of strength I mean writing them down, keeping them in front of you, telling others about them and reading them before you go to sleep.

Some people forget about their good points and just focus on the bad ones, and the result is hating themselves unconsciously. The other thing is, accepting your weak points, and when I say accept your weaknesses I mean accept your real weaknesses and not the perceived ones. Adam wasn’t really fat or ugly, but he just thought so!!

How many perceived weaknesses do you have? Don’t try to deny, we all have them. We all think that we are less than what we really are; everyone short sells himself and his abilities in a way or another, that’s why you have to know your real weaknesses and not the perceived ones.

If you managed to know your real weak points and then accepted them, in addition to focusing on your strengths you will end up loving yourself, and when you love yourself, your self image will change and you will become much more confident.
