Learn to love yourself
Problem: when your self-image is poor, learning to love yourself can seem particularly difficult. How can you silence your inner critic and believe that you deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin and be happy?Aim: to feel better about yourself and other people.Talking about loving ourselves can feel embarrassing: we are not used to doing it and we are quick to conflate it with narcissism. However, knowing how to appreciate yourself does not mean being self-obsessed, thinking that you are perfect or thinking that you are better than other people. Loving yourself means treating yourself with respect and kindness. First of all, it means accepting yourself and recognising both your strengths and your weaknesses.
We often tend to neglect our self-image, and may put ourselves down without even realising it. Moreover, we find it a lot easier to point out our flaws than to highlight our strengths. However, self-esteem allows us to become aware of our value and our abilities. It is what enables us to make progress, overcome challenges, thrive and get what we want.
Focusing on yourself also does not mean shutting out other people – quite the opposite, in fact! Having a good relationship with ourselves allows us to treat others better as well. Imagine yourself as a house, with its walls, floors, the layout of the rooms, décor, furnishings, and so on. If you take care of it and try to make it warm, comfortable and practical, not only will you be happier there, but your guests will also enjoy the atmosphere. It is your house: you should feel safe and at home there. What is more, the better care you take of it, the more comfortable and welcomed the people around you will feel. The same applies to your relationship with yourself: you should tend to it on a regular basis. The quality of this love is what will allow you to find your balance and happiness in life. In this, you are your own greatest ally!
Why so much hate?
What kind of relationship do you have with yourself?
We tend to say that adults who are not happy in their own skin were treated badly as children. Although this is often the case, it is important to bear in mind that everyone has their own reasons for being unhappy. We are all complex individuals with a unique past and unique feelings. With constant criticism, abandonment, grief and a range of traumas, even if the origin of unhappiness is not always easy to identify, the patterns are well established. This guide focuses on the bad habits that we regularly fall into and offers a viewpoint and attitudes that will help you to see yourself in a better light.
Finding the source of the problem
It can be useful to have a think about your past, not to blame your family environment, but to better understand how you came to adopt this mechanism. If you feel the need to analyse your past or simply to talk about it, there are a range of therapies that can help you. Feel free to do some research to find out which one is right for you. Working with a professional can be very helpful.
A poor self-image can cause a great deal of pain. This is in particular because we do not pay much attention to our wants and desires, or to the messages our bodies are sending us. It is often difficult to challenge the beliefs we have developed about ourselves.
It is therefore important to begin by observing yourself in order to determine the quality of your relationship with yourself.
