One question, do you love yourself?

Sometimes we think that self-love is just grooming ourselves, dressing well, putting on makeup, exercising to have a flat abdomen, and all those superficial things. But, when you look at yourself in the mirror without all the glamour, with a few extra kilos and tousled, can you say: "I love myself"?

Self-love takes effort, practice, and perseverance. I know it is not easy to learn to love ourselves living in a society where the physical aspect is everything but, we can achieve it.

In this episode, my intention is to make you change the idea you have about self-love and to be able to help you to reach it.

Com’on! Hug yourself today and say “I am beautiful”.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS.

• [2:11] What does self-love mean?

Loving ourselves is simply accepting ourselves for who we are and what we are.

• [5:53] Are affirmations enough?

Affirmations are a complement but, they are not all we need to reach self-love.

• [7:44] Stop comparing yourself to others.

One of the most common mistakes we make is comparing ourselves to others. Remember, each person is beautiful in their own way, and learn that the most important thing is what you think of yourself.

• [9:04] Don't worry about other people's opinions.

Opinions are only opinions, and the people who express them don't care about you at all, so why do you have to care about them?

• [12:15] Allow yourself to make mistakes.

We learn from mistakes, don't be so hard on you, allow yourself to fall but always remember to get up.

• [14:24] Don't be afraid of letting go of toxic people.

Toxic people can affect your growth more than you imagine. My advice is: don't separate them from your life. Just don't include them in your growth process.

• [16:39] Process your fears.

Feeling fear is natural, do not push them away; understand them.

• [18:03] Trust yourself.

Our instincts are wiser than we imagine. You always know what is best for you.

• [20:02] Take every opportunity.

Take action. If the opportunity is in front of you, take it, and if it is not there, create it.

• [21:59] Put yourself first.

How can we start loving ourselves if we are the last on our list of importance? Start to be the first on your list, and you will see how your life changes positively.

• [24:47] Be aware of your feelings.

Allow yourself to feel. Do not hide your feelings.

• [25:54] See the beauty in the simple things.

Many times the most beautiful things are in front of us, and we do not realize it. Learn to value what surrounds you, and you will find beauty in every corner.

• [27:13] Be kind to yourself.

Why can we be kind to our friends and strangers but not to ourselves? Remember that we have a relationship with our mind, body, and soul. Therefore, it is necessary to nurture it every day.

Be patient with yourself. Change internally is not an easy task but, step by step, you will achieve it.
