Self love – healthy??

Growing up, my mom used to call me the “I” specialist … she said she didn’t know I would turn out this way……if she knew, she wouldn’t have selected a name with 2 I’s in it JJ. Even as a child, I thought I was the most important person in my life… spent a lot of time infront of the mirror and immaterial of what people said, I always knew I came first in my life… this didn’t mean I didn’t love other people, but just meant that I loved myself a wee bit more J

Now a days, driving to work, I listen to Bruno Mars’s “coz you are amazing.. just the way you are”.. Its not about the music but what it means to me; the feeling I get everytime I listen to that song is what makes it my alltime fav songs. (Coz you are amazing.. JUST THE WAY YOU ARE )

Many people have a problem with who they are; they are always trying to change things about themselves…..for others, for society, for religion and for that hundred thousand other reasons.  and though it is not a bad thing to change, the reason to make that change is really important. If you ask me today if I want to change something about myself, I might say NO. Its not my arrogance talking but I am just happy and comfortable with who I am and what I am made of. Do I think I am the Best.. maybe not, but do I love myself anyway…. OH HELL YEAH !!!

I believe in self love, not at the cost of loving another person but loving myself unconditionally immaterial of the circumstances.. I believe that if you don’t love yourself, then you don’t have the rights to expect other people to love you. And neither can you fully love another person. Its like they say on the plane during safety instructions “In times of emergency, put the oxygen masks on yourself first and then help others.. coz if you aren’t healthy yourself, then how will you help others?”… weird analogy but it kinda makes sense to me.

So, I feel like self love isnt such a bad thing.. it is a nice feeling to stand in front of a mirror and feel good about what you see. Its not about beauty but about being comfortable in your skin that’s important. So stand infront of the mirror and tell yourself that you like what you see and slowly you will start believing it. This will definitely help increase the quality of your life and boost your morale a great deal.

Go on, love yourself.. coz it is worth it !!!!!
