All about Self-Love

 💗BY AARYA GUPTA

I think this is very important to sum up all the discussions about self-love for todays generation. All these social media influencers make us compare ourselves to them and set unrealistic standards that make us hate ourselves. I guess its relative right?

However no one is born to hate themselves. It all starts when we start being influenced by other peoples opinions of ourselves by starting to see ourselves from their point of view and act the way people think you are. When we try to fit into the mold that society has created to do this we forget that the meaning that matters most is our own and at the moment of this realization we are already ourselves. I was lost and hated myself.

So how do we unwittingly revert to being the carefree daydreaming children we were when we judged others or hated ourselves? We can start doing something every day that makes us feel good about ourselves or something that we are passionate about. Learn to do what you want as long as it makes you happy and as long as you live life it doesnt matter to other people. Setting your goals by focusing on them and following them will help you pursue what you truly believe you need to in line with your values ​​and ultimately make yourself happy.

Well sometimes we let our fear grow and think am I weird? Am I ugly? Am I healthy? Or I may lack faith. To avoid these negative thoughts we must have a positive outlook and try to improve ourselves from the inside out by exercising and eating healthy food every day. But we should not be ashamed of ourselves based on others perception of our appearance because we live in a precious society and no one is perfect. If everyone were perfect there would be no uniqueness or diversity in this world. So be your own kind of beauty.

Also, we might not love ourselves because of the mistakes we made in the past but always remember "yesterday's me is also me". Accept it and face yourself and work your way through issues by improving yourself & by learning from that mistake. We should always learn from the past but never hold onto it because if you obsess over the past it will curse you and stop you from growing. And we don't want that, right? We want to be a better version of ourselves, someone, who our older self will be proud of.

True self-love means you can love yourself and others regardless of your differences. So tell me how you expect others to love you when you dont love yourself? The first step to loving others is to love yourself then you can speak for yourself and show your true self.

This is how we can love ourselves instead of hating ourselves. I hope this blog brings you one step closer to loving yourself. Finally I want to tell you to do yourself and love yourself and speak for yourself.

Thank you and have a loving day.
