Your Community Magazine Can you love yourself?
Many people who are on their own are hoping to be successful in finding love, but almost always they tend to look outward rather than inward.
It’s important to be the sort of person you want to be first, before you can appreciate yourself fully. If you can think of someone you admire….you can be like them! Not WHO they are, but the sort of person they are.
It’s like copying a favourite recipe…you have to learn how to do it, but then once you have made the changes you want to, you will realise the control you have in your life and what you can achieve. Conceit and selfishness would not be the qualities you would want to imitate, so the result should be all good!
Choosing to love yourself is a very personal process that takes time. There is no express way that you can just make this happen, but there is the strength of your intention and the power of your actions, which aids success. Whether you are taking the time to do the activities you like, treating yourself with respect, taking notice of all your wonderful previously hidden qualities and accomplishments, the way you handle things is up to you.
So many people don’t like themselves, so how can that turn into loving themselves? If we handle things in the way we would like them to be handled, we will get different results. Stay calm, smile more, do not be easily upset by others….you are in control, not of a situation, but of your reaction!
When you eventually love yourself, you begin to see yourself more positively, appreciate your unique outlook on life, and respect yourself more. This will be noticed! In loving yourself, you are acknowledging that you are special and deserving of love. Best of all, you are giving yourself one of the greatest gifts you have to give another. You are giving yourself the gift of your love….and THEN you can give it to others!
Until the next time ….take care! Violet King ….Personal Counsellor.
