If you have ability to love, love yourself first

To the degree you love yourself, the world will love you back. We have never been taught at schools how to love ourselves, although it’s a foundation of our well-being, satisfaction, and happiness. Only when we learn to love ourselves we can stop looking for the approval and acceptance in the external world, only then we can accept and love others.

Episode highlights:

• Instead of learning to love ourselves first we go outside trying to find someone who will give us so needed love, validate we are worthy, make us feel complete. Unfortunately, we are never able to find the ”one”, because until we learn to love ourselves we will never believe we can be loved
• Loving yourself is being comfortable with the person you are, being at peace with yourself as you are. It’s loving yourself with messy hair, it’s being at peace with your height, it’s being at peace with your extra kilos
• Being judgmental, comparing yourself to others and being addicted to the approval from others are symptoms of not loving ourselves
• We judge others for what we can’t forgive ourselves or for what we have been judged
• We are addicted to the approval from others because we do not approve ourselves in the first place. No matter how many ”likes” you receive on social media if you do not love and accept yourself they will never be enough
• Self-love is about allowing and feeling your every emotion. They are trying to tell you something
• Self-love is about accepting and loving your dark sides the same way you are proud of your light sides
• Self-love is about setting boundaries in the relationships with others, it’s about saying ‘no’ to the ones that drain your energy and are not serving you
• Let your close friends tell you what they love in you and appreciate you for. You might have no idea about how great you are and how you inspire others by being who you are! Surround yourself with people who love themselves!
• Notice your self-talk. Are you telling good things about yourself? Or are you judging and blaming yourself?
• Your inner child (it’s always has been inside of you) needs unconditional love, safety, and appreciation. Give it to him!
