What's so important about self-love and why?

Self-love involves taking care of your own needs, not compromising your well-being for others' enjoyment. Self-love does not mean you settle for less than you deserve. The dictionary Merriam-Webster describes self-love as an appreciation of one's own worth or virtue.

Self-love is NOT about vanity, egotism, narcissistic selfishness or unwarranted arrogance. True self-love is much deeper than normal stuff at the surface stage. It's about self-esteem, self-acceptance, and self-compassion, and about creating a core set of values that provides an unchanging base and profound intimacy that can only come from knowing yourself.

Self-love is the secret to happiness, and a precondition for a satisfying existence. That's because our inner world produces our outer world and decides how happy we are with it. You will receive love and appreciation from others but first you have to love yourself and respect yourself. You are more vulnerable to depression, anger, anxiety, frustration, loneliness and unhappiness if you are not practicing and nurturing self-love.

Self-love is the action of knowing, accepting and expressing self-compassion. With sensitivity you need to consider your acts, thoughts and expressions as though you were your own best friend. Cultivating self-love is a cycle of a lifetime; it is a journey. The first step towards change starts with consciousness of lack of self-love. The, are many ways to improve self-love. One way to do that is to repeat meaningful self-love affirmations, feel them in your heart, and align them with practical life acts.

Why use affirmations?

Affirmations are optimistic words that will help you confront and resolve negative and self-sabotaging feelings. Using affirmations is meant to bring about meaningful change. Repeating phrases should become the main weapon to alter the patterns of negative thought and reprogram your subconscious mind.

Many research have shown that the subconscious mind, which generates a lot of negative thoughts, controls 95% of the time our thoughts. The explanation for such pessimistic feelings is that previous stressful experiences have affected our subconscious mind. Evolution has also left humans with a propensity to pay attention to the negative rather than the positive, since survival depends on detecting and reacting to life-threats immediately.

The fundamental concept is to "reprogram" the subconscious mind with optimistic thoughts, but that's not that easy. Reprogramming can be achieved in two ways, according to Dr. Bruce Lipton: when the brain is in theta state (induced by hypnosis, meditation, or naturally occurring right before falling asleep and right after waking up); or by doing things persistently before they become a habit.

While awake, by reinforcing positive affirmations and behavior, we will concentrate on developing healthy behaviors until they are second nature for us.

How to apply affirmations in real life?

Follow these steps:

• Put emphasis on what you want to improve.
• Choose affirmations that suit those goals. If the assertion is too simplistic, start with a milder form: for instance, instead of saying "I love myself," say "I'm loving myself."
• Repeat the affirmations in your mind and believe in them at the same time, hear them and help them with real actions.
• Stay in your conscious mind, and be alert, be mindful. Stay proactive in your actions. Feeling and actions always need to be consistent with positive affirmations. You can fool the brain, your subconscious mind, by consciously creating positive feelings into believing that it is true. As a result, your emotions will change (the emotions are unconscious processes according to Psychology Today) and different biochemical reactions will begin within the body. You will begin to believe through concrete actions that you can change things for the better, that you are capable and worthy of self-love.
• Stay committed. Follow those steps until the statements are a real habit.

In addition, you can:

• Listen to positive affirmations or to guided meditations before you go to sleep with your headphones (Theta Brain State).
• Surround yourself with people who love and believe in you.
• Commit yourself to persistence and constructive progress.
