This is not about selfishness or vanity. This is not narcissism. When you truly love yourself, you don’t need to blast it to the world or even tell anyone else. Loving yourself allows you to love others. It also allows you to feel love from others.
Start today – tell yourself something kind and nice. Find, recognize and appreciate the qualities you like about yourself. Don’t give time to those negative thoughts. Treat yourself the way you would a good friend or loved one. Be caring of your own thoughts and feelings. Be more forgiving of yourself, and less critical. Be kind.
