Self-love must be
practiced daily. You might be asking yourself the following
questions. How to practice self-love? How to strengthen this aspect of your
life? Why is this practice important in these contemporary times? In this busy
world, self-love is taken for granted especially when you focus your attention
on others, your spouse, or your children.
Yet, self-love might
not be easy to practice for most people. However, self-love is a form of accepting
and forgiving yourself. It is the ultimate authentication of yourself without losing
your identity, self-confidence, and self-esteem. As a woman who has gone
through so much negativity in different areas of life, self-love is one thing a
woman must strive to accomplish. It is a learning process that every woman must
do to understand her partner, children, family, and people that you are
frequently in contact with.
A woman must know when
to ignore and eliminate negative comments, and negative comparisons. It should not
bother her, and she should sprinkle some self-love. A woman must have empathy
for herself and not let herself be walked on. She must not act like a beauty
pageant winner, a scandalous person, or like a snob. Instead, a woman must be
her unique self without changing herself for a man especially if he compares
her to other women that are not like her.
Most women make the mistake
of changing their appearances, their clothes, and everything else for men’s enjoyment.
Additionally, some women make the mistake of acting like another woman or a
celebrity that they admire to be more attractive. A woman that does this does
not accept herself. She tries so hard to please others and to attract the man
that she likes without seeing her true self. This develops more insecurities, a lack of respect, and a lack of self-love for herself.
Yet, within that
process, the woman loses herself and lacks validation. Self-love must be
practiced for women as well as for men. Therefore, practicing self-love makes a
woman or a man form validation of themselves. There are guided
meditations that will let you be open to self-love. Also, if you practice mindfulness
and self-love together, you will be able to be kind to yourself.
As a wise person once
told me, it does not matter what you wear, how you wear your make-up, or how
you look from the outside; If you lack compassion for yourself, you will not be
able to love others to the fullest. Often people include self-love quotes,
affirmations, and thank you notes as well as other meditation techniques for strengthening
it. Always take care of your mental, physical, and well-being while putting
boundaries between toxic people. Last, gratitude must be incorporated to
practice self-love for your emotional wellness. Here are more resources about practicing
self-love.
