Self-Love Chapter 1b

 


HIGHLIGHTED

Without a strong sense of love for yourself, you may experience:

  • Anxiety
  • Defensiveness
  • Depression
  • Insecurity
  • Materialism
  • Shame
  • Unhealthy Coping
WITH a strong sense of love for yourself, you may benefit from gains in:
  • Belonging
  • Confidence
  • Empowerment
  • Happiness
  • Love
  • Motivation
  • Relationship Quality
  • Self-Care
  • Physical Health
WHAT LOVE ISN'T
  • ENTITLEMENT: Entitlement should not be confused with the idea of recognizing your worth. Consider it a basic human need. Compassion, care, and acceptance are as fundamental as water, food, and shelter.
  • SELFISHNESS: Although self-love is a reflective process in which one turns energy inward, the benefits are not selfish. Self-Love requires the courage to distinguish your weaknesses, challenges, and obstacles.
  • SINFUL: Self-Love is the journey to care for yourself in order to prompt a domino effect of care and compassion for those around you.
  • EXCUSE: A critical component of self-love is recognizing your limits, needs, and worth, and asserting interpersonal and intrapersonal boundaries as needed to uphold them. The full process of self-love includes the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is also the decision to recognize your areas for growth, tailoring a potentially difficult yet necessary plan of attack, and bravely tackling it head-on.
