Hey Loves and Welcome back to Joi’s Journey of Perception.
What many people don’t tell you is how to have self-love. Although they talk about it and how important it is, they never tell you how to have it. Getting rid of the problem could be so much easier if you know how to do it. There are so many books on self-love but usually use negative connotations.
Let me share my thoughts on self-love with you and give you some advice. I honestly feel like self-love has been weaponized for single people. It is common to hear conversations about how you need to love yourself before you even think about dating. Which I don’t get, because I’ve seen a lot of people and relationships with very little self-love so people with a lot of love.
Self-Love
regard for one’s own well-being and happiness (chiefly considered as a desirable rather than narcissistic characteristic).
How to Have Self Love:
My goal is to be a mirror for others who want to have self-love. According to researchers: You need to start off with treating yourself like you treat someone you truly care about. You are a priority as well.
- Treat yourself kind
- Treat yourself with respect
- Create boundariea
- Prioritize yourself
- Be your true self
- Don’t be your worst enemy
