It is said that love makes the world go round. And love, indeed, is what gives life its meaning and purpose. But too often, we love others more than we love ourselves. We provide our time, energy, and attention to others while neglecting our needs. We put the needs of others above our own, and as a result, we feel depleted and resentful. To love others better, we must start by loving ourselves more. We need to nurture our happiness and well-being so that we can have more to give to others. By taking care of ourselves, we can be happier and healthier people who can provide more love to the world. So let us all resolve to love ourselves more to make this world better for everyone.

People can learn to love themselves by accepting themselves for who they are, flaws and all. Everyone is imperfect, and that's what makes us unique and special. Once we learn to accept ourselves, we can start to work on improving ourselves. We can set goals and work towards them. We can also begin to forgive ourselves for our past mistakes. Instead of dwelling on the negative, we can choose to focus on the positive, like wanting to better ourselves. And we can learn to be grateful for all the good things in our lives. When we do these things, we open ourselves up to true self-love. Other things we can do to improve loving ourself is to 

Embrace healthy interests; you know the good ones that are right for you. Hobbies that you enjoy that make you happy and feel good. And likes are empowering no matter the relationship status. Your only subject is that you are the only person who will care for you, so let's start with some exercises, positive affirmations about love and kindness and being there for you!

Make time for a healthy, optimistic you; practice makes perfect. Don't feel pressured to follow others' negativity or ideas that feels wrong, and don't feel frustrated if this new practice takes time. Remember that you are cultivating self-love, not self-criticism.

Learn how you talk to yourself respectfully and caring. Please don't feel shy or embarrassed; we all do it negative often! But how we do this is of great significance. Negative self-talk reinforces feelings of worthlessness and increases anxiety. To a certain degree, you probably believe what you tell yourself, that you are stupid, lazy, fat or ugly or other terrible things.

Such toxicity will harm the psyche, tricking yourself into believing that you don't deserve much worthwhile. 

While we all tend to be hard on ourselves sometimes, constant self-criticism is different and more harmful than knowing it is sometimes. 

Taking responsibility for an unfortunate situation and taking the opportunity to learn something valid does not need to involve harsh self-criticism.

Therefore, if you notice that you tend to criticize yourself when there is a misunderstanding or a mishap, please acknowledge it and stop yourself from completing the thought. Take that pessimistic interpretation and rephrase it, turning it into a supportive and nourishing positive statement. In this manner, "I am so stupid" becomes "I made a mistake, and that is ok because I learned that I have great supportive friends."

Another aspect of this is to forgive yourself. Consistently punishing yourself for an incorrect deed or a harsh word is not emotionally or mentally healthy. Learn to accept your humanness and the accompanying imperfections. Despite Instagram and plastic surgery, there is no perfect human being on this planet. Give yourself the empathy and compassion you reserve for others.

Fear of failure also keeps many people not only from achieving greatness but also stuck in dull routines. Once you accept yourself and your wonderful unique nature, you will see that there isn't a failure, especially if you learn a lesson, grow as a person and recognize the imperfect you as who you indeed are.
