How to learn to love yourself...
Okay, so you want to love yourself but as much as you try to look in the mirror and admire the woman looking back at you, you can't.
You then put just anything on, nothing will look great anyway, and go out and live your life day by day thinking, 'I'll never be beautiful - no matter how much I read about the subject, I just can't, so I might as well accept it...oh and by the way, the thing about beauty coming from within is probably just a nice proverb made up by someone who felt the same way I feel'.
Beauty does come from within, it's not just a proverb but a fact, I think it's been more than proven through people we love who simply look gorgeous or extremely handsome. However, we can't deny the fact that it shouldn't only remain within. Beauty is to be exposed and admired. Who doesn't love to look at beautiful things?
So how can you love yourself enough to the point of feeling beautiful?
"Beauty is to be exposed and admired. Who doesn't like
to look at beautiful things?..."
To answer that, you must first ask the question: What do people who love themselves do?
Do they just put anything on hoping that the person within will be admired? Of course not. A woman who loves herself will take good care of herself. She'll invest in herself in every way possible, which means that she'll take the time to look great.
Sometimes that's all you need to do. How can you care more for yourself as a woman? Would you perhaps benefit from a good diet and daily exercises that will not only make you look better but make you feel wonderful? How about your hairstyle - could you look better with a more modern look?
Perhaps you could dress in an entire different style altogether, going for bolder colours, more feminine and elegant clothes, with a couple of extra accessories to complete the look. In other words, you don't need to go and get a makeover that lasts for a day or two in order to look and feel better about yourself. You can do it today, right now and in a way that will look better with time. What's stopping you? In this day and age, you don't even need to have loads of money to look good. All you need is an eye for what suits you. That's all! Not a big deal is it?
If you start caring for yourself as if you love who you are, you'll really start loving yourself, and do you know why? Because you're a loveable person so why wouldn't you love yourself?
Taking good care of yourself will only bring you benefits and it's fun, exciting, and extremely rewarding. When I woke up to this fact, it was as if I had been revived - no more clothes that made me look too old and no more wig-like haircuts. I started to take the time to do my nails every week (by myself by the way), go bolder with the colours I wore, and did something different with my hair. As I started to enjoy what I saw, I started to care more, going to the gym and eating more healthy foods.
Today, caring for myself is a daily routine. I guess if you can care for yourself, you can then care for others.
