Self Love

Why do I need to fit in, be part of a group or the need to draw attraction?

Every human has the need to belong, to be appreciated and the most important.........to be loved. If that need is not filled or approached at the wrong time with the wrong influences, it will suck it up like water in a sponge just to fill that need.

   

Love

Love is the substitute for every one of these desires. And the greater love of all is the love for one self.  When you change the way you think about yourself, your life will change. Yung people who feel good about themselves are more likely to fall between the cracks in society and are more resilient in creating positive futures for them. 

Promote

The question though is how to promote self love in the younger generation? Self love is like a child's shield against the challenges of the world. Kids who know their strengths and weaknesses and feel good about themselves seem to have an easier time handling conflicts and resisting negative pressures. They tend to smile more readily and enjoy life. These kids are realistic and generally optimistic.

We all have a mental picture of who we are and how we look. We develop this picture over time, starting when we're very young. The term self-image is used to refer to a person's mental picture of himself or herself. A lot of our self-image is based on interactions we have with other people and our life experiences. This mental picture (our self-image) contributes to our Self Love. 

The best practical way to promote Self Love is to make one person feel valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others. 

Valued - “held in great esteem for admirable qualities especially of an intrinsic nature”

Promote the good quality in your child; make sure that he/she knows what that quality is and that they are appreciated for it. 

Loved – “A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness”

Show them that you really care, build on that relationship as a fortress for safety. 

Self Love

Accepted – “generally approved; widely regarded as normal, right, etc”

Let them know that they are approved and regarded as normal although they make mistakes. And that you set the standard of approval, not their friends. 

Thought well of by others

By creating and fostering the tree elements above, the “Thought well of by others” will take place spontaneously.  And thus will then by its turn promote Self Love and nurture all the feelings to fulfilment. 

Self Love

Conclusion

No matter who you are, or where you’re from, or how you look, YOU ARE! Entitled to be Valued, Loved, Accepted and Thought well of by others. Do not belief that you need to participate in under duress events just to be accepted. Love yourself for what you are and build on your good qualities, change the concept of “Simply because everyone else is doing it” to........everyone else is doing because I am doing it. 

You are awesome for GOD don’t make no junk.   

ps: YOU!! must be the most amazing person you know.
