Loving yourself


Loving yourself by Elysia Young......  I am writing this article because the media has placed so much emphasis on changing the way you look through the "plastic surgery hype". There are reality shows where you compete for plastic surgery which is sad, because that is not how God designed you. In my opinion it is a form of self hate. Loving yourself means loving the "real" you, even what you consider an imperfection. Loving yourself means to accepting "you" as "you" are and accept the things that "you" cannot change. You must maintain a high level of self-respect, "unconditional" self-acceptance, and a positive self-image at all times. It is very important to know your self-worth, never let anyone or anything take away from that. You are unique and have special talents that God has given you. But it is up to you to further develop those talents to be the best that you could possibly be. Always remember that nobody is perfect, we all have strengths and weaknesses, however we are all equip with all the essential resources to work on improving ourselves. You can not love anybody else unless you love yourself first.  You may ask how can I love myself better?


1) Understand that you are human.
2) Acknowledge that you have the potential and spiritual capability to rise above whatever conditions and obstacles are put in your path. 
3) Loving yourself you means you should be taking care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally.
4)Don't punish yourself for something you have done in the past. Instead, look at the mistake as a learning experience. Don't ever demean or ridicule yourself, or if you do then laugh realizing that was then and this is now. Every day is a new beginning.
5) Define yourself by what you've accomplished rather than what u haven't. Remember that success is not a destination. Success is making progress (toward the desires of your heart). Accept yourself, and others will follow your lead.
5) Take care of your body by getting plenty of sleep, eating right and continuous exercise
6) Stimulate your mind. Read a new book. Try and learn something new everyday
6) Get closer to God.....
