Everyone has loved and loved ones, to whom a person shows care and patience, pleases with trifles and does pleasant things, helps with advice and deeds, and protects them from troubles. And does he show these actions in relation to himself? If not, then you only have to dream of loving yourself, but here's how to develop it.
How to develop love for yourself from the point of view of psychology?
The following tips will help in this:
- Do not look for the right moment when you can love yourself, but understand that we are already perfect - here and now. We are self-sufficient and we have everything to realize all our capabilities.
- Stop criticizing yourself. The "mother" of criticism is the desire to be perfect, but on Earth there is not a single perfect person. Criticism drives us into the framework, but only a completely free person can love himself as he is.
- Treat yourself condescendingly and do not require much. Forgive for mistakes and be sure to praise for achievements.
- Do not listen to the "well-wishers" who know you better, what you need to do. If you listen to someone else's opinion, then to the opinion of the winners, those who know what they are doing and demonstrate it.
- Stop worrying about what others think of you. Each person is unique and has the right to be himself and to express himself in the way he wants.
There is one very effective exercise that will help those who want to know how to develop love for themselves. It is to take care of yourself every day. You can make a list every evening and implement it the next day. For example, afford yourself some kind of purchase, an hour of rest with a book on the couch, etc. Reading affirmations in front of a mirror helps very well, which can become another daily exercise. It is very important to say something like: "I am perfect and beautiful, I can do everything, no one can influence me, I am responsible for my life", etc.
