Three Ways to Love Yourself
Even if you have no lover, you can be your own lover. But, sometimes, we end up hurting ourselves the most in order to please other people. We drain ourselves by ended up doing things that we do not feel like doing. Myself included, of course. I can't help but start to wonder in what ways I can start loving myself. Hmm...
1. Have more guts to say "No" to things that we don't want to do
This does not include saying "No" to the all kind of tasks that our Boss gives to us, obviously. That way, we could end up with no way to sustain our bills. You don't have to go to the extreme for examples instead of saying "Yes" all the time to the thing that I hate the most, working overtime. I told myself once in a while "No, today is not the day I am working my ass till late." and pack my bag and go home. I am working toward my goal, zero to one day of working late per week. Tough, I tell you but I have to prioritise myself. My health. My life.
2. Don't think so much about things that we love to do
"But, it will make me fat", "I don't think I have the time", "Do I really deserve this"
We are meant to enjoy things in life so if you are blessed enough to find out what you enjoy doing the most in life, allocate more time to do those activities, no matter what seems to be the challenge. If need to, be passionate about it and don't easily let other people's have their way over the most important thing in your life, your time.
3. Don't try to please everybody
The most dangerous lifestyle that one can choose is to be a people pleaser. You can't please everybody because everybody has their own like/dislike/preference/taste, etc. If you try to please them all, you have to sacrifice something or someone. Yourself is the first, your family may be next. Life is short, makes yourself happy and the rest (which matter to you) will feel your happy vibe and be happy for you.
