How can this challenge benefit me?
Loving self is a critical step in our growth and development, and in this regard any action you take in alignment with loving yourself is beneficial. So the best way to answer this question is by highlighting just a few of the benefits of self love.
1. Loving self leads to self knowledge and self acceptance - The more we love ourselves the more we get to know about ourselves and by showing love in the instances that delight us as well as in the instances that displease us allows for us to accept self wholly. And take actions to step into who we desire to be. This also leads to greater self worth and higher self esteem.
2. Self Love leads to trust in self - This allows for us to dispel the need for validation from others.
3. Love of self can lead to better decision making – Loving self puts us in a better position to make decisions (in all areas) that align with what we want, need and desire for ourselves.
4. Self Love is the first step to living the life you have always dreamed of - When we have a better understanding of who we are, what we want, our values, our purpose, our passions etc. Then, we are more capable of settling and achieving goals that are in alignment with who we are and where we truly want to be.
5. Loving self is the best way to understand how to love others – the more we truly love self, the more love we have to share with those around us. When we understand how to treat ourselves better then we gain understanding on how we can better treat and serve others.
