What is NOT self-love
-- A Quick Thread --
1.Eating Junk Food & Loading Up On Sugar
Often when you feel low, you want to treat yourself to fast, junk food or load up on sweets.
It may make you feel good temporarily, but will eventually end up making you feel worse than before.
So, if you truly want to show love to yourself, eat piping hot, home-cooked food.
A Healthy Diet = A Happy You.
2.Staying Up Late Binge-Watching Shows
Sleep may elude you when you’re not in the best phase of your life.
But, instead of keeping up with a healthy sleep routine, if you give yourself more reasons to stay up late; you will hamper your well-being.
Don’t binge watch Netflix to escape your emotions, rather accept and process your emotions. It may make you feel miserable at the moment, but it will heal you.
But, if you try to ignore it, you will hurt your future self. And you don’t want that.
3.Self-Pity
Feeling sorry for yourself is not self-love. Self-love means taking care of yourself and trying to make yourself feel better.
On the other hand, self-pity keeps you where you are and makes sure your future is no different from your past.
4.Feeling Entitled
Don’t confuse your self-worth with entitlement. You deserve everything, but remember, no one owes you anything.
Get what you need on your own terms and not by placing ridiculous expectations on others.
5. Selfishness
Wanting everything for yourself is being selfish.
Self-love means to take care of your needs, but not at the expense of others.
In fact, with self-love, you become more empathetic towards others’ needs.
By falling in love with who you are, you develop a sense of general affection towards others as well.
