What does it mean to love yourself?

Loving yourself means excepting yourself the way you are and then do an introspection in order to identify the things you may not like about yourself and then also decide on an action to rectify this. This should be based on the things you feel you need to change and not on the things other people feel you may have to change about yourself.

Loving yourself means looking after your well being. This includes eating right, excising and dressing up appropriately. The minute people see that you look after yourself well, they become aware of this, and people are drawn to people who look after themselves well. Your appearance says a lot about you.

Loving yourself is also about caring about what you expose your body to, in terms of cigarettes, drugs, alcohol and anything else that is intoxicating. If you truly love yourself, you would n’t expose your body to those kind of things.

There are people who have never loved themselves, this may be due to the people that have been in their lives who have always been bringing them down by telling them that they are useless or they won’t amount to anything in life. These kind of people need to break away from these negative people and rather surround themselves with people who will contribute to making them feel better about themselves.

Compliments are one thing that boost the way you feel about yourself. Hearing that you look good always puts a smile on a person’s face. Being able to look at yourself in the mirror and being able to say damn I look good is also a step to being able to love yourself. So go on and love yourself because if you don’t who will?

  1. I fully agree with you Sibongile. It is essential that we love ourselves and see ourselves in a positive light. How can we expect others to love us if we can't love ourselves?
