The process of loving yourself

Love is eternal. Love is pure. Love is unconditional. It is immaterial. Loving yourself is the least selfish thing to do. They say love yourself to take care of others, love yourself to keep others happy and love yourself to serve others. Standing up for ourselves, and learning to say 'no' doesn't make us stubborn or rude. In fact, It will stop future suffering for both parties. Something which can be learned and kept a check on is being kind, compassionate, understanding, and being a lot of patient throughout our lives.

When I mention being kind and also being yourself I remember that there are so many ways to convey a matter, we can easily choose rough and rude ways because that's the natural tendency in a human. But choosing a smooth, kind way of saying things is always a tough choice and should be a conscious decision. All of these concepts keep striking me from time to time. Yes, there are several incidents of me losing my cool, acting immature, and being unreasonable... I am so grateful to my family and friends for being so calm and patient during my outbursts. Now I tried to recognize those mistakes and try not to repeat them. It takes time. A lot of these issues point out the solution of self-love and self-care. When we lack proper attention to ourselves it leads to a lot of outlets and no inlet... that means a lot of giving so that there is no space for 'self', this might not be a problem until we get less time from loved ones or validation from them, which is quite normal as they have to discharge their other duties and responsibilities in a given set up.

So what is self-love? What is taking care of yourself? The answer can be as simple as taking a walk to as important as seeing a counselor. It can be making time for your passion, and hobbies or can be developing a new habit. It can be shaping our personality or building a new career. It can be anything that truly makes us happy and something that we really want to do. Keeping a balance between giving time to yourself, your work, and also your family is always a challenge, but hey! that's life, right?! Finding a right balance between these and accepting every challenge coming our way is life. Lately, I always want to find practical solutions for every problem in my life. When I feel like I am falling back in handling myself I try to find the area of the fault. Every time I get exact answers. Many times I found the answer but cannot bring it into practice. Between all these ups and downs the only question I can ask myself is what's the purpose of my life? and how can I achieve it in the best way possible? when we think of a purposeful life it gives us awareness and meaning for every little thing we do. Having said the above perspective about self-love I am still in a process of loving myself and I am more than excited to fall in love with every new thing I learn about myself.
