Love yourself but not in egoistic way.

Often women are aware that they love themselves not enough, not enough give the time and attention, that distribute themselves to all surrounding, but have no idea how that self-love looks like. Love to yourself is often mixed with just shopping for yourself when you think that will buy a new dress and problems will disappear, or with self-pampering when you love yourself very much, so you eat cakes and not exercise daily. Sometimes women think that if they love themselves they can’t force selves to perform pleasant things. Or they are egoistic, as do not take into account other people’s needs or requests, because they think being the most important, while others can simply adjust to them.

In order to love yourself more, you must first realize that love is a verb and you have to do certain things for yourself and because of yourself. Maybe this would help to imagine, if you were your own child, how you would behave with yourself. Would you offend your own child, blame for past mistakes, feed unhealthy food, and force to communicate with ugly people, or take care of yourself?

What means to take care of yourself? First of all in order to love yourself you should take care of yourself: take a time to eat, sleep enough and so on. You must always defend yourself and your needs. Always talk positively with yourself. Accept yourself as you are. Ensure your safety:  drive safely, eat healthy, and go for regular check-ups. Forgive yourself for mistakes you ever have made. Praise yourself when it is needed. Respect your body. Never pamper yourself if it damages you. Do not require a love from others. Devote the time for your hobbies. Devote money for your interests. This list could be continued endlessly.

The most important thing is to feel at ease in the own body, your thoughts and emotions and behave with yourself in most favorable way.
