What is Self Love?
Self-love means accepting yourself entirely, treating yourself with kindness and respect, and nurturing your growth and well-being.
Self-love encloses how you treat yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings. When you conceptualize self-love, you can imagine what you would do for yourself, how you talk to yourself, and how you feel about yourself, which echoes love and concern.
When you genuinely love yourself, you have a positive view of yourself. Self-love doesn't mean you feel positive all the time. That would be just unrealistic! Self-love means that if you know how to love others, you know how to love yourself!
THE 5 STEPS
Step 1. Be your own child ?
We all need unconditional love, when ever you are hard on yourself. Be your own child. Treat yourself as if you are treating your own child or if you had a child.
Self-love is tough for people who grew up in harsh environments and or developed codependent traits. Codependents struggle with self-love because they tend to concentrate on other people’s beliefs, feelings, demands, and problems and mostly take care of others than themselves. Often this is at our own expense. Changing these patterns is shifting from taking care of others to taking care of ourselves and tuning in to our feelings and needs rather than others.
Suppose you’re still having a problem differentiating self-love from other pleasurable activities. Then try treating yourself like a toddler. While grown-ups do have some different needs, it’s beneficial to figure out whether something is right for you or not.

Kind words
You never have to sacrifice yourself and push through burnout, resentments, or life burdens. If you struggle with self-love, you can gradually add more self-love and kindness to your life to indicate a new-found appreciation and acceptance of who you are and what you need.
Step 2. Affirmation ?
Affirmations are good positive statements that can help us to challenge and possibly overcome self-sabotaging. Also our negative thoughts. When we repeat them often, and we believe in them, we all can start to make positive changes.
It is as simple as reminding ourselves that “I am more than enough.” Just remember this and repeat it to yourself. If you ask me, I would just write it down on paper and keep it with me at all times. It is crucial to simply take it out and read it to yourself as many times as you can. The goal is for us to change our thought patterns and channel our self-view positively. Unfortunately, we neglect how essential it is for us to have an understanding of our ability. And to be enough for ourselves. So it is vital to have an effective process and to have a healthy self-love exercise; we must affirm ourselves.
This study helps reveal how brain-imaging research can be utilized to complement and illuminate psychological perspectives. In this case, serving to explain and improve upon a well-researched self-help method. As the researchers put it in science-speak:
“We find novel evidence that a future frame may act synergistically with value-based self-affirmations to bolster a sense of self prior to threat exposure.”

Step 3. Meditation
Self-Love Meditation can be a truly a powerful mode that can ease our racing minds. By pulling our attention to our innermost self. We can find our source of internal peace and the acceptance that we desire. Stressful thoughts can gently decrease as we expand the peace needed to move forward with love and peace.
“You are a unique, with beautiful soul“
Self-esteem is how we value ourselves individually. More accurately, it’s the thoughts that we perceive about who we are. If our assumptions about ourselves are regularly optimistic, then we have healthy self-esteem and self-love. On the contrary, if our thoughts are frequently negative, then we — like many others, may have low self-love and self-esteem. The good news is that meditation can further help us change the relationship we have with our thoughts. Ultimately building self-love and self-esteem. Increasing our confidence, that is our goal.
Meditating on my self-love allows me to easily reconnect with my heart and body—to remember that “I am worthy of my love, especially my own.”

For me, this is a beautiful chance to discover something unique about myself and tune into my physical and emotional desires. We must all let self-love empower us to develop a healthier relationship with ourselves. And allow us to be more fully in our life.

Soon after, it became my go-to self-love practice—and it is just a good reason to see myself. Mirror work is a unique type of practice that you can use. In order to meet your true actual reflection in the mirror and send yourself all the loving, self-affirming affirmations, even open up new conversations with yourself.
