How Can You Practice Self-Love? Vol. 520, October 24, 2019
This was a question that was asked by a person on Quora and this is how I answered it:
Thank you for this very important question, because to tell you the truth, those people who become my clients – those with pretty difficult emotional issues are those who learned that it was wrong to love one’s self.
So, what is self-love? It is when one respects themselves enough to eat real one item foods, do activities that they enjoy and be with people who enjoy them and challenge them to be the best they can be in a loving and supportive manner.
The most important thing for every human to feel self-love is to recognize that they are worthy of love from themselves. Having a sense of self- authority is very important – being able to be who you truly are instead of pretending to be something you are not in order to gain someone’s attention. This is a very dysfunctional way of being that many of my eating disordered clients demonstrated given the abusive family situations they grew up in. However, for a person to be able to be loved by someone, that someone needs to know who that person is including the annoying aspects that we ALL have in our personalities.
So, love yourself by being true to who you are and taking care of all the needs that your body has in healthy ways. Stay away from negative news, negative people and especially those with lots of anger. Instead hang with people who share your values and treat you well.
