Sprinkle Some Love on Yourself

Sometimes all we need to love ourselves in order to see good in every point of time. It’s not always an act of narcissism rather it can also be about self-care which restricts you to see other people’s life covetously.

Sprinkle some love on yourself in the following ways:

• Don’t compare yourself to others – We live at this age of social media where we often see someone having this amazing lifestyle which they often post or having something which we were longing to buy. So we often end up comparing ourselves to them. I mean it is a human tendency. But nevertheless, when you make differentiation and accept practicality. That’s when you win. Appreciating them means you’re just choosing to spread positivity.
• Take care of your body – When I think of taking care of my body there’s only one thing that stuck in my mind – “Take care about your body. It is your temple. It is the only place that you have to live in.” And that’s it. It is enough to encourage me and keeps me going.
• Take a stand for yourself – Make a differentiation between right and wrong is not everyone can do. But sometimes your gut feeling says that there is something you shouldn’t tolerate. So, raising your voice right in the right way is a form of self-respect which everyone should have. It is something we haven’t been taught in our school. Still knowing what is right for you should be your responsibility.
• Indulge in your passions – Having something which you are passionate about is something. But knowing what you are passionate about is everything in life. So, if you think that you haven’t found it yet. Then, you should definitely know what is that something you are passionate about and what is that something which keeps you going in your life.
• Forgive yourself – Forgiveness surpasses everything. When you know you have made a mistake that is known by you to overcome it, to make you a better person than you were before. Well, who doesn’t wants to be a better person than they were before, right? So, Practice forgiveness. It does not always come from within but you should know when to forgive yourself for the mistakes that you’ve made in order to embrace your better version. Don’t be hard on yourself.
• Support yourself – Most of the times we wish to be supported. I mean, who doesn’t love the feeling of being secure? Everyone wants to be secure in their lives. But there is a phase in our lives when we feel we aren’t being supported enough. Those are the days when you should be your biggest support system.
• Be honest with yourself – Being honest with yourself means you know you aren’t cheating yourself and that will come from accepting things and being practical about yourself.
• Give yourself a treat – I always make sure to give myself a treat because sometimes in life it’s the little gesture that keeps you going each day. Treating yourself with anything that makes you happy will always give you much-needed happiness that you are providing to yourself.
• Say ‘no’ when you need to – Saying ‘no’ when you need to means having an ability to take stand for yourself. You can just learn to say ‘no’ to people or situations just by knowing yourself in the first place.
• Believe in your abilities – Having a self-belief or believing your abilities saves your inner peace and many other things. Because when you believe in yourself, you tend to see goodness in everyone and everyone which basically saves you from being jealous or having any kind of harsh feeling about something or someone.
• Practice Gratitude – When you practice gratitude you stop complaining and take charge. You’re much happier in the day because you have become aware of all these good things in your life which you could’ve taken for granted. Practising gratitude means becoming aware of all the things which you already have in your life. And when you become aware you tend to be happier and appreciate your life.
• Surround yourself with your kind of people – People tend to find people as same as they are. But when you know that you want to become better than you already. That’s when you choose to hang out with people who are better than you without holding any grudges. So, surround yourself with people who are as genuine as you are.
  

  Spread love, peace and positivity to other’s life. But don’t forget that you deserve it all for yourself equally.
