Consider how different your life would be if you actually loved yourself. What would happen if you let go of self-doubt, self-criticism, and the fear of failing? Imagine a life in which you are complete, motivated, and ready to face whatever life throws at you. Consider how good it feels to know that you are valuable and that your life has purpose.
Benefits of Self Love
You've become nicer and gentler. Consider speaking to yourself in a loving and encouraging tone. Like a best buddy, mentor, dad, or teacher, for example.
Grace and serenity can come into your life if you are supporting, encouraging, and forgiving.
More vitality to live life to the fullest. Allowing oneself room and time to nurture and practice self-care provides for a regeneration of vitality and an unending supply of internal fuel. It's like having a well that never runs dry.
There will be more joy to offer with others. It's cliche, but it's really true! It's difficult to love others the manner you want to if you don't love yourself first, and you could get into a dependency or need pattern. All of your interactions will benefit from you loving yourself better.
Improved interactions with family and friends. We will sense the need to search elsewhere for fuel if we don't have self-love to fuel our own life, which may take the shape of trying to find fuel in connections with others. Unfortunately, as we seek on others to bring happiness or help us feel worthwhile, these connections can become unbalanced and filled with need, resentment, and hatred. We can have healthy dynamics and expectations if we learn to love ourselves.
Stop Shaming Yourself
Toxic internalized ideas founded in guilt and emotions of unworthiness will frequently surface throughout the discovery of self-love.

If you tell a falsehood, for example, you may feel guilty, which might help you make better decisions in the future that are consistent with your values.
However, if you lie and respond with shame, you will feel like a dreadful person who is worthless. Shame is poisonous and stems from the belief that we are not good enough. It implies that we believe we are undeserving of love, connection, or growth.
Stop Being in Toxic Relationships
Those of us who struggle with self-esteem and insecurity frequently take on the role of pursuer. This dynamic can manifest itself in a professional environment, a familial relationship, a friendship, or a love engagement.
The urge to be exceptional and have someone affirm our worth leads to a practice of chasing and pursuing others. This behavior may appear as a constant reaching out, suffocating with attention, and acting in methods to get attention. It could be always seeking to be acknowledged or recognized for work and needing confirmation of a job well done in the workplace.
In a family setting, it could mean continually making an effort to be together and catering to everyone else's taste and requirements at the expense of your own.
