Love Yourself

Home Remedies for Loving Yourself

Do not underestimate the power of love:

“Love Yourself”. I loved reading that book back when I was young. The book, which can be read through fairly quickly, was written by Pat Palmer back in 1977. My mother had bought it for me, I remember. What liked best about that book is this quote, written on the last page:

“You can find your own strength and power. You can learn what feels best to you. You can let go and allow yourself to be, and you can LIKE YOURSELF and be your own good friend, and a good friend to others, too!”

Like Yourself for who you are

Since then, I concentrated on liking myself. It is very important to appreciate one’ own self, to be grateful for the gifts in our lives, to be able to identify the qualities that we have. However, I have discovered that simply liking myself is not enough. It is imperative that we also love ourselves. It is important to place a value on what e already are, to love ourselves the way we are. This does not mean that one should love the fact that he or she becomes drunk frequently. What I am talking about is positive self-love. A love that makes us our own friends first. No one, absolutely no one other than God, can know me the way I know me. No one can know you as much as you know you. And no one can love you the way you do, or more than you do.

This quote, really made me think :

No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning.”
- Barbara de Angelis

No-one else like you

It is this uniqueness in ourselves, in each of us that helps the world be the wonderful place it is, and because I love what I am, I am also able to give my best when it comes to doing anything. For this reason, it is very important to love and nurture one’s own self, to feel that we are worthy human beings, to consider our own selves to be in a loving relation with ourselves, wherein there is consideration for our weaknesses and lacking, and not a constant pressure to enforce our desires or those of others and needs, even though we know that we do not really want to. If we do have some weaknesses, let us do what a true friend would, and slowly but surely get on top of the situation. And never, ever, stop being thankful for what we are and who we are.

To find out how much you love yourself and your life, make a list of things that you like most about your own self. You can even email me the top ten ones, and I will email the ten things I like most about myself to you. But most importantly, remember and keep that list close to your heart – to weather through the rainy days. You might also like to visit our page on natural remedies for depression.
