If you can’t love yourself, who can you love? While it’s noble to sacrifice yourself for others, you’re important too. When you make the effort to be kind to yourself, you’re in a better position to be kind to everyone else in your life. Let go of the idea that indulging yourself occasionally is selfish.
Give yourself the love you deserve with these strategies:
- Decide that you’ll no longer compare yourself to others. Comparing always leads to misery. You’re either too hard or too easy on yourself, depending on the topic and the other person.
- Resolve to focus on your progress. A little progress is easy to accomplish and leads to great progress.
Ensure that you’re satisfying your own needs as you tend to the needs of others. Everyone is important, and that includes you, too. Give yourself the same priority you give to others in your life. Take the time to love yourself more.
