Why is loving yourself important?

Tell me, do you love yourself? Or, does the whole notion of loving
yourself make you feel uncomfortable? Many of us believe that loving ourselves
is not only vein and selfish, but also weak. So much so that we actually use self-criticism as a motivating force to drive
ourselves towards success.

However, nothing could be further from the truth. This is because well-being has more to do with your relationship with yourself, or the lack of it, more so than anything else. A huge part of which requires that you love and accept yourself for who you are, in each and every moment. And that’s because its self-love that gives you emotional resilience and makes you really strong. Its self-love that allows you to feel worthy and that gives you unwavering confidence - allowing you to be the best you. This includes allowing yourself to dream and chase your dreams. Its self-love that provides you with the desire and long-term motivation to treat yourself including your body, with the respect, love and attention that you deserve, as opposed to relying on willpower which is fleeting. Its self-love that enables you to feel whole and complete, instead of remaining eternally unsatisfied – as if something is always missing.

And so, the more you value and love yourself, the more you are
able to make better choices and therefore create abundance in every area,
including your relationships, your career, your finances and your entire sense
of meaning and purpose in life. In other words, loving yourself allows you to
honour your truth/worthiness of what you want. And so, unless you really love
yourself, then you will never achieve true successful in life.

What is
loving yourself?

To love yourself means to fully accept, to trust, to honour, and to be at complete peace with yourself in each and every moment. To love yourself unconditionally means just that - to love and support yourself without any conditions attached. This doesn’t mean that you have to like everything about yourself - think about all of the people in your life like your kids or your partner - they have aspects which you don't like but you still love them. It’s about doing the same for yourself. It’s about recognizing/seeing your perfection amongst your imperfections. In this way, loving yourself is about feeling empowered, by bringing forward your wholeness, in order to be the best you and live your best life.

How do we
love ourselves?

Let me ask you this… What if the very source of the unconditional love and gratitude comes from within? Well it does, and in order to truly love and honour who you are, then there are two main ways you can do this. One way usually results in a lifetime of self-sabotage and never ever leads you to greater self-love even thought it may fool you that you do love yourself. The other, is a fast track to loving yourself like no other, and it results in 100% full and unconditional love for not only yourself, but also towards all others also.
