The importance of self-love.

Self-love is a term that’s batted around often, particularly in the ‘self-help’ world. It makes some people feel uncomfortable and simply confuses others. It’s a concept that makes many cringe, and it’s often confused with arrogance or self-obsession. Yet, despite the confusion, there is a sense that this unfamiliar way of being may offer some relief from the harsh cries of self-criticism and self-depleting thoughts.

How does this improve our mental wellbeing?

People who are compassionate towards themselves have greater emotional resilience. Self-compassion can reduce anxiety and depression and help us navigate diffcult circumstances with greater ease. It’s for this reason that we’d recommend trying to see through the lens of self-compassion whenever you notice negative self-talk. This small change may give you a new perspective on life. The tips on the link below should help you to boost your levels of self love.
