I, as if I love myself, sometimes pamper myself, buy beautiful things, do my hair and manicure. But, for some reason, nothing changes in my life?
And it is clear why! After all, loving and spoiling are different things!
If you love your own child, you will take care of him. Laziness has no place here! You will prepare healthy food for him, make him brush his teeth, exercise, and teach him lessons.
You will praise him for his successes, encourage him for new achievements, and you will protect him from unkind people.
You will wish him independence and independence, even from yourself.
The same applies to your own person.
It's not easy, I agree. Of course, it is more pleasant to enjoy a cupcake, on the sofa, listening to your favorite TV series. Although, a cupcake, too, sometimes, you can afford. But not always!
If you want to respect and appreciate your own person, start doing things that will make you proud of yourself.
And do not be ashamed to praise yourself! Praise inspires new achievements. It is not a fact that you will receive praise from other people. Support yourself. And don't let others devalue you and your achievements.
Take responsibility for your own life, health and mood. No one owes you anything in this world! But you too, no one is to blame!
Even the closest people can be happy together when they take responsibility. When they CHOOSE to be happy together.
Love and happiness is work! It is a series of small but consistent steps.
In any situation, choose yourself and your feelings. And know, life is given to us, not in order to preserve ourselves, but in order to use ourselves competently. Only by loving yourself, you will be able to truly love your loved ones.
Even in the book of books it is written: "Love your neighbor as yourself"!
I wish you happiness!
