People say we can't love ourselves until we learn to love ourselves. I always feel it's true. It's because love comes from within. We feel loved by our surroundings but we can't give back if we can't produce it in ourselves.
We have a common misunderstanding that, we all have self-love in ourselves and it's very easy. But the truth is quite opposite. Realizing this is not very difficult. We need to understand that self-love comes with many responsibilities like self-care, no self-harm, reduce negative thoughts about our own self, and so on.
You see, understanding self-love can help us cherish more love in life. Now let's see why we need to increase self-love so that we can spread more love around!
When you have a good feeling about yourself you feel self-love.
And when we do that, it heals us, it gives us room to rethink our self-image, self-esteem, and how we are doing in life. This process leads us to feel happy and helps us to enjoy life more. It's like a chain reaction that also touches others too.
Also, loving ourselves including during our bad days makes us more positive. And this is how we create a positive environment around us. Not only that, when you feel good about yourself- you say good to others; you do better for others.
Think about any of your happy moments and you will notice why self-love can improve love for others too.
We don't have to actively thought about doing this or that to spread love, our love for ourselves will do this automatically.
