Self-love is an important part of a happy life. When we love ourselves, it becomes easy to go through life. There's no judgment, fear, or low selfesteem, and instead, there's immense gratitude and compassion towards our own selves, as it is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that supports our physical, psychological and spiritual growth.

For many people, self love is another way to self care where we listen our bodies, or when we take breaks from tight schedules, phones and computers to connect to oneself or do something creative. The best thing is that self-love helps us have healthier relationships with the people in our lives. It guide us against self criticism and inferiority complex. When you don't love yourself, you may neglect your own needs and feelings, and even make decisions that aren't in your own best interest. Self love is a true win-win situation.

Self love is the foundation that allows us to be assertive, set boundaries and create healthy relationships with others, pursue our interests and goals and still feel proud of who we are.

To achieve self love, you need to stop comparing yourself with others. Do not worry about their opinion of you once you are convinced that you are on the right and holy path.
