This is a very interesting and broad topic. Love is something that all human beings crave. Everyone is always busy trying to get love from others and also trying to show that they love the people they care for. We must therefore ask ourselves what love is. Love is actually one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is an intense feeling of affection,warmth,adoration or fondness for someone/something.There are different types of love depending on the relationship between people.
I will major on self love. Self is the identity of any person or thing. Therefore,self love is the care/affection that one accords to himself or herself. People assume that they give themselves self love just because that is the person they live beneath. But the truth is that many people do not accord themselves the amount of affection they struggle to give to others. How can one know that they really know how to show love to themselves? Ask yourself the following questions :
1. Do I constantly compare myself to others?
2. Do I care so much about people’s opinions about me especially my physique?
3. Do I need people’s recognition in my day to day activities?
4. Do I choose myself over the people I care for when I really need to?
5. Do I say no to my friends when their plans inconvenience me?
6. Do I compliment myself often?
7. Do I feel confident?
For someone who loves themselves enough,they are able to answer the above questions without hesitation. Darling,you deserve to love yourself without limits and unconditionally. You should be able to take care of yourself the same way you strive to take care of those around you.
Thank you for reading through this. You can tell me the things you would like to hear about and ways I can improve this page for you.
