Self-love begins good relationships, new opportunities open up, and income rises. If you have a failure in any of this, then your self-esteem is lame.
The following points will help you understand if you really love yourself:
1. Gratitude
An ungrateful person is always dissatisfied. And discontent is like a worm eating us from the inside. What kind of self-love can we talk about if there is a little monster inside? Notice what you can thank fate, others for, the past or the coming day. This will help you focus on your best in yourself and on positive experiences.
2. Body care
If you love yourself, you will not feed your body with junk food, cigarettes and alcohol. The state of our body shows how much we love ourselves. Take care of yourself - have regular check-ups, massage courses, visit a beautician, and do whatever it takes to look and feel good. A healthy body is an indicator of healthy self-esteem.
3. Relationship
Don't let anyone insult you. Toxic relationships begin with small offensive phrases and veiled manipulation. And then they turn into harsh insult and suppression. Try not to admit to the extreme, nip in the bud any manifestations of disrespect for yourself.
4. Mindfulness
Mindfulness is living in the moment. If you are drawn into the past, you are engaged in self-criticism or blaming others, for example, your parents, for your problems, then you clearly lack love for yourself. Unjustified suffering also triggers fear of the future. Learn to live in the here and now without looking back at the past or problems that have not yet happened.
Gratitude is one of the building blocks of good self-esteem.
Now you know for sure whether to pay attention to your self-esteem. And what can be done to increase it.
