The Value 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.

When you don't have enough self love, you will find that you have a lack of confidence. You will suffer with self esteem. You may find that this can affect your performance in the work place. You may not even realize this. People often develop psychological disorders, not knowing why they are depressed or anxious. Very often this comes down to a lack of compassion to yourself.

Therapists will agree that the first thing to focus on is self care. This is something that psychologists tell patients who are suffering from depression or anxiety. It is important to look in the mirror everyday and appreciate your outward appearance. You may benefit from a new hair cut, you will be refreshed after you have been to the gym or you turn to a diet that makes you feel good about yourself.

Connect with your emotions by meditating and spending quiet time on your own. This will help you to feel more relaxed. You will feel a sense of peace come over you as you begin to find a quiet space to spend time in. This will allow you to eliminate much of your anxieties and stress levels which may be getting you down.

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.
