What Can Self-Love Do for a Lady?

Do you love yourself enough? Or does your inner critic always take over and criticize you? How can you beat this inner critic? Read on to find out!
Here are a few tips:
1) Turn around your negative thoughts or mind chatter to positive ones. Do it gradually. For example, you made a mistake at work while preparing a document. It’s not the end of the world. Instead of letting your inner critic take over, take charge and say, “It will only take me 10 minutes to correct it and take a print out again. I can afford that time!”
2) Loving yourself doesn’t have to be pressurizing. It can come slow and effortlessly. For example, every time you shoulder a responsibility successfully, help yourself to a candy bar, acknowledging that you have done a great job and therefore, are rewarding yourself.
3) Write down your good qualities you think you have. Also write out the bad ones that you dislike. Focus on the good ones for a few minutes and attempt to feel good about yourself. That’s self-love. Then skim through the bad ones that you don’t like about yourself. You can eliminate them from your system, taking one bad quality at a time and improving on them and finally wiping it out totally, and forming a totally good quality instead. A bad quality can be, for instance, biting your nails. Tell yourself you are changing this habit to a better one by cutting your nails and keeping them short and clean and perhaps even nail polishing them. Slowly improve on not taking your hand to your mouth. Do it slow. You will overcome and when you do, reward yourself and keep it as a constant good habit in you. Love yourself for that and take on the next bad habit you want to improve on. That’s how along with self-love, you grow self-respect and confidence in yourself.
How does self-love help you? Here are a few points to consider:
1) You love others better. If you are happily married to yourself first, only then you can fully love your significant other.
2) You can confidently work on any task or project because you have faith in yourself, which originally comes from loving yourself enough.
3) You win a lot of friends. Because you love yourself, it is easy for you to find friends in others. You are not critical about yourself, neither are you critical about others and therefore, you love them with all with your heart.
4) Your children are going to copy and learn from you. If you are able to show them you care for yourself and them as well, you are confident about yourself and it is important for you to have some time for yourself alone, your kids will respect you and grow up to be like you. That way you rear up good, well-behaved and healthy children.
5) Self-love is so important that it has a huge impact on your community as well. Your community will consider you to be their idol. They will want to know your secrets and be like you. How can you answer their questions? Tell them simply: “Work on loving yourself more and more and that is the key to all my secrets!”
Summing up, I have got you covered on how you should work on self-love and how self-love has a vital impact on you and those surrounding you. So wouldn’t you care to take some steps for loving yourself a bit more right from this moment?
