Let me ask you this question, do you love yourself? You might ask me back, hey why are you asking that, of course I love myself! A follow-up question, how do you treat other people?

I asked the second question because it’s so easy to tell that you love yourself, but how you treat other people will reflect on how you treat yourself. It’s not new that even in the bible it reminds us to, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself!”

Your tasks:

Learn to consider the feelings of other people, learn to recognize their worth, learn to appreciate their efforts, and learn to respect them wholeheartedly.

You might ask:

But what if they don’t do that to me? Why should I give them all that positive treatment and efforts? To answer it shortly, it’s because the whole benefits will go to you. If they don’t treat you right, they will be the ones to suffer, they will feel more stress, and they will feel being disappointed because you don’t mind their silly thing. That thing could interfere their health and will ruin their life. You don’t want that to happen because you love yourself, right?

Self-awareness and acceptance:

Loving yourself means you know your strength and weakness, and you know how to use and improve it. You’re not comparing yourself because you accept the fact that you are unique, and you have that abilities and capabilities. You are honest to yourself, in the sense that you don’t make false beliefs just to raise your worth.

Here are the benefits of loving yourself:

• It improves your self-esteem or self-confidence. You believe in yourself, and therefore increases your will to perform an activity.
• It provides you with the self-worth you need in life. Loving yourself, raises your ability to recognize your importance as a human being.
• You feel more energized than usual, and you have a positive view about life, that motivates you to do more.
• Furthermore, you feel happier, and have a good outlook towards life. For the reason that, you are not stressed, that’s why it’s so easy for you to bring out that beautiful smile on your face!
• You are more productive, and you can easily finish daily tasks and personal goals because you feel inspired.
• You will become the better version of what you want to be.
• It helps you to be aware of your potentials or what you can do to achieve your goals.
• It improves your mental capacity and overall health. You are far from getting mood disorders like anxiety, depression etc. and you are doing or performing good ways on how to take good care of your body.
