⚠️Self love: What is and how it affects us⚠️
✅ What is self -love
Self -love is the relationship we have with ourselves. Is to know each other and accept as we are. It does not imply that we think we are perfect, but we can also recognize ourselves in imperfections while still assessing ourselves.
Self -love is being aware that something is hurting you and not wishing that for you, try to take care of and prioritize yourself.
✅ Self -esteem and self -esteem
Having self and self -esteem is closely related, But it is not exactly the same. Self -esteem nourishes the value we give to all the dimensions of our life. Self -love goes a step further: is the unconditional acceptance of our being. It does not depend on who we are or what we do. Loving you frees you.
In none of the cases we will be talking about feeling superior to others, on the contrary. When your self -esteem and self -love are good, You do not need to compare yourself with others, You are happy who you are and what you have and do not validate through the difficulties or successes of others.
✅ Why don't I have self -love?
Our way of relating to the rest and with us is not innate, We have acquired it throughout our life, especially during childhood and adolescence. We learn to love and love ourselves through our referent figures.
✅ These are some of the situations that can devalue your own love:
That in your family environment your caregivers had little self -love and growing inheriting a way of treating you pierced by a low self -concept.
That you suffered abuse from these people. Either by physical violence, Psychological, absenteeism, coldness ... you grew up feeling that they did not value you and that you were not important for the most important people for you.
