HOW TO DEVELOP SELF-LOVE IN A RELATIONSHIP

 


Do you love yourself? What is the quantity of love you have for yourself? Does loving yourself improve your relationships? 


It shouldn't come as a surprise that you can only give out what you have. Having a low self-esteem is synonymous to a car without an engine. A car is not complete and cannot work perfectly without its engine, how can you relate perfectly or give out love when you're not filled with love.  Lack of self-love for yourself will affect your relationship, connection and behavior with people.


Specifically, having minute love for ourselves tends to make us negative. Think about how you will react if you're surrounded with negativity. I know we all want to be comfortable in our skin.


Listed below are steps to implement in your life and personal relationship to boost up your self-love. 


1. Don't seek affirmation

 Lacking high dose of self-love will always put you at the service of seeking people's affirmation and validation before making decisions in life. You won't believe in yourself rather you will keep seeking compliments from friends and family. This will tend to damage your relationship with everyone around you. 


2- Communication

Another thing you need to do is learn how to communicate with people around you very well. Talk to your friends with confidence, your head high up but not with pride so that you won't be categorized as egoistic in nature.


3- Study yourself

One of the things you should always do is study yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror and speak confidently to yourself. Learn and study every part needed to be known about you. Your strength, your weaknesses, your likes and dislikes. When you start to gain self-awareness about yourself, you will further appreciate and love yourself in and out.


In conclusion, loving yourself is owing to who you are. Accepting your good and bad attributes. You don't have to force love in a relationship, it will flow steadily once you have love in you, once you're filled with love. Accept who you are, what you're and what you're going to be. Have confidence in yourself.
