LOH250:SELF LOVE OR NOTHING.

InGood day everyone, welcome to my blog.

One of the things I wish I learnt early in life is self love. If I had learned to love myself like I do now from the beginning, I would have made some better and beautiful choices.

I used to have low self esteem and feel less of myself, probably because of the environment where I was raised or because of my spoken English but thanks to heaven I was able to find myself on time.

We need to do a lot of things to save ourselves and the first thing is to start practicing self care. We need to take care of ourselves well, to make sure to wear clean clothes and underwear, shave where necessary, wash our hair regularly to avoid foul smell.

Also, we need to pay attention to my care products like shampoo, soap, cream tooth paste, tooth brush roll on, body spray and all. With that, we can be confident to go anywhere without the fear of rejections out of being unkempt.

Secondly, practice self compassion by showing empathy, kindness and concern for ourselves first before others. Remember the holy book said love your neighbor as yourself not more than yourself. Being factual, we can not give what we don't have. So to show these qualities to others,we need to show them to ourselves first.

Understanding our strengths and weaknesses is also another key note that can help in selflove. We need to understand that we can not do everything at the same time and know what we are good and not good at. Most importantly,we should know when to start and stop. Don't overuse or underuse yourself.

Furthermore,to show self love to one's self, we can set realistic short and long term goals like taking a five minute walk every morning or ten minutes yoga movement every evening or twenty minutes nap twice a week and we should celebrate ourselves anytime we are able to achieve these goals. Learn to celebrate every win no matter how little they may be.

Surround yourself with people who can have great and positive influence on you and not users and most importantly don't go where you are not wanted. Engaging in activities that brings one joy and fulfillment also helps.

Lastly remember to take care of your mental health, don't allow people's negative words get into your head or disturb you, know when to stop, be assertive with your choices , don't allow people to force what you don't want on you and when ever you have to choose, always choose you because you are enough.
