Tell me honestly ― do you know what true self-love is? Without daily self-criticism and reproaches. Without exhausting attempts to become perfect and achieve the ideal. Without forever proving to yourself and the world that you are worthy of someone or something. Love is unconditional, with full acceptance of all shortcomings and imperfections. Are you familiar with such self-love?

If your answer is no, then maybe it's time to work on it. What for? Let's figure it out together.

You've probably heard the saying: "You can't expect love and respect from others until you love yourself." If the long-awaited happiness and harmonious relationships full of love, mutual understanding and warmth are your unattainable dream, then most likely you have missed the main thing.

Love is the most important, powerful and wonderful feeling in life. But you will be able to know, receive or give someone true love only if you start with yourself.

Only if you are ready and can devote enough time, effort and attention to yourself in the first place, you will have the resources and the desire to give love to other people as well.
