Self-Love

 

Self-love is often perceived as a form of conceit, selfishness, or vanity. But there is a difference between loving yourself and loving yourself too much.

In order to function and perform tasks, you need to take care of yourself. Otherwise, you would fall ill and struggle to fulfill your responsibilities.

Stop for a moment to think before you protest against what I just told you here. If you go out of your way to look after your family and friends and take care of them, why not do the same for yourself? You deserve the kindness that you give to others.

So, treat yourself like you would treat a friend. And remember, there is nothing selfish about taking care of yourself when this is in fact essential to maintaining the overall health of your well-being and possessing the capacity to do the things you need and want to do. If this love towards yourself reaches the point where you are hurting other people in the process, now that's a different story.
