How we can promote our self-love?

[begum01]

I want to ask about self-love. Do you love yourself?, How can we enhance our self-love?

I grew up with very neglectful parents. And when I turned 19, they left the country and I needed to figure life out on my own.


Growing up and during my adulting phase, I really needed to learn how to become a parent unto myself. Sort of like, being the father I wish I had, towards myself.


And, now I have that positive relationship with myself. I look after myself, like a parent that cares. Though, I do have a sort of tough-love approach to things. But love is love.


(e. g. “Stressing out about XYZ isn’t going to change anything, Dan. There’s still things in your power that you can do. Now clear your head and get to work.”)

its tricky. Not as easy as what people say. For me self love is more like a journey. Its not an instant thing. Start from respecting your own boundaries. Say no when you don’t feel like it, don’t be people pleaser. And here the hardest part, to know your self more. Especially those in their teenage years or early 20’s, figuring out what they want, what they like, what they wanted to be. Understanding self is lifelong adventure, you gain a little knowledge whenever someone wrong you. When you feel there’s no one gonna help you. then you realize, no one but you can fix the situation. No one but you gonna stand up for your self. Then you come to realize, how important it is to live your self first. The key is to understand your self first, self love will follow once you get there.

I think taking time out of our day to focus on just ourselves, to read a book, listen to music, take a nap, sometimes it might only be for a few mintues and sometimes it's a few hours but I think it is important.

Yes, I love myself more then before. Especially that I've been single for forever. I very slowly started to do more and more self care , self love. Rewired my mind. Keep doing things that are good for me. Sometimes it takes longer than you want it to. Yet never gave up. And I'm a lot happier with myself. I'm not 100% there like I want. But I'm getting there.

You can start out by defining it. I never felt like I really knew what people were talking about when they said "love yourself"

It feels like a foreign concept

[Реrverted_creep]

By understanding the importance of it. Not too little and not too much emphasis on your self.

loving the people in my life, genuinely... that's loving myself

Firstly stop thinking what other people says about you, be confident and smile in front of mirror and say you are the best because you came into this world full of beauty, you are one of the creation of that beauty 😊

No idea. I have self respect. But I don't feel any self love, I haven't in over a decade. Just a numb sense of revulsion.

[SlothySlob]

By accepting who you are, by accepting your shortcomings and building from that.

Very hard to love others or allow others to love you if you don't at least like yourself.

[Randalama]

I think we have an excess of self love at this point. More self reflection and awareness is needed.

[jjj101010]

Do u mean respecting yourself or “self love” that u do on your own in the privacy of your own home?

[serious]

Yes I do love myself.

[Guy13]

I love you and kindness usually works.

[collie22]

by doing things the right way

[Nahid1707]

Be around good people 😊
