Self Love
"To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness" ~Robert Morley
Let me first clear this out 'Self-love' is NOT being 'Selfish' nor does it mean that you are an 'Introvert'. It is extremely necessary to clear this out, because many of us have this misconception that these words mean the same. Selfish means, only thinking of your own gains, introvert means that you do not like crowd and you want to be left alone, and self love means that you love spending time with your own self. Well, you might love crowd or not, but even if you are alone you can be happy.
Now being clear with all of these three concepts, let us simply focus on the term 'Self-Love'. We always have someone to talk to, every moment as we live in a society. It can be your parents, best friends, partner, teacher or anyone. Now, as we have company all the time, we have never explored our inner self. When we are alone, we all have a book or a show which entertains us, and if nothing then our sleep, but do we sit without any of these? Now you all will wonder "What am I speaking off ? What do I want you to do?"..... So here, I mean NOTHING. Cause, when you do nothing you ponder around, different thoughts develop in your mind, and that is the moment when you interact with your SOUL.
When there is nothing going on around, you know what is going on in your mind and heart. There is a synergy between the two. This is exactly the first stage of self love. At such times, you enjoy your own company. In such moments you might nurture your creative thoughts, so you can draw or even write quotes, or do whatever you like.
The final stage is talking to yourself. It sounds really weird, but when you interact with yourself you come to know a lot of qualities within you.
So now, as we know how to start loving oneself, try doing nothing, then you will come across your different sides and you will discover that you are very interesting. Like if you are alone, you do not need anything or anyone to make you feel happy, you can find your own happiness. You will discover your immense talents.
You build self esteem, self belief and above all self love...
