The importance of loving yourself

Many people make the mistake of thinking love is a feeling, but it is actually a choice. Falling in love is totally dependent on emotions, but love is something you wake up every day and decide to do because it is right.

Self-love is highly important because if one cannot love the core of who they are and appreciate everything about their character, even their flaws, it is almost impossible for that person to have healthy friendships and maintain healthy relationships. This is the major downfall for many women and men – there is no real bond with self.

So begin today! Spend time with yourself! Learn to be single and appreciate it. Use that time to intentionally work on you and do this by journalling your emotions and your thoughts. Words when written and spoken are active and powerful and so it is recommended by many counsellors that people write down their feelings, goals, dreams, likes and dislikes.

Enjoy your own company.Take the time to love you, you are worth the sacrifice.
