Falling in Love With YOU

Often times, we yearn so much to seek the perfect love that we neglect what's most important: ourselves! One of the keys to a successful relationship is maintaining your own well-being. The famous saying holds true in all situations: "You must learn to love yourself before you can love others." Having love for yourself will give you that aura of confidence! Self-respect and self-love are essential in order to have a healthy relationship. Here are Kimberly's 6 Suggested Steps to fall in love with you!

1. Forgive yourself.

Sometimes, we are too focused on dwelling in the past that we forget to embrace the present. Let go of past mistakes. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made, and anyone who's hurt you along the way. Your past mistakes do not define you. Once you start letting go of the past, you can start anew.


2. Treat others with love and kindness.

Being happy and bringing love and joy into other people's lives will bring joy into your own. Treat others how you would like to be treated, and build a mutual respect with those around you. Having positive relationships is key to feeling happy about your life and about yourself.

3. Be persistent, and do what you love.

Stepping out of your own comfort zone will open many pathways to new opportunities into your life. Ask yourself, "when was the last time you did something for the first time?" Have a positive attitude and be open-minded to new experiences. Those who are more open, are happier.

4. Reward yourself.

No hard work should go unrecognized. It's okay to treat yourself to a day at the spa or a guys' night out with friends! Celebrate your successes and accomplishments.

5. Take care of yourself.

Spiritually, emotionally and physically. Don't be afraid to say "no." You have every right to do so. Sometimes, we put others first and neglect to take care of ourselves. Make it a goal to stop trying to please everyone, and make yourself a priority. YOU first!

6. Stop comparing yourself to others.

Whether we admit to it or not, we all do it! Self-satisfaction is one of the secrets to having a fulfilling and happy life. Once you learn to embrace your individuality, you'll be happy. Acknowledge your strengths. We all have different gifts that we can offer to the world.

Make a mental note to yourself that you are your own best friend! Treat yourself with love, kindness, respect, trust, etc. Loving oneself is not narcissistic, but a form of self-respect. Once you start living for YOU and accepting yourself, flaws and all, you can start leading a happier and more fulfilling life.
