Today I read a very long blog about loving and beautifying oneself. It is full of "positive energy", and I am enlightened and determined to care more about myself as well. There are numerous tips for that, which has to be learned for one's lifetime, and I think we can share our ideas here: what is the thing you do everyday that perfectly indicates that you love yourself?
I like to look in the mirror, ignore the pimples, and smile in the way I think is most beautiful.
What about you?:)

Yes, I love myself, so I always pay attention to my performance not only physically but also my inner beauty. To improve my inner beauty I love read some book that contain self improvement. To improve my performance physically, I also watch my face and my hair on the mirror and try to fix some spots in my face and cut my hair before the shape of my hair change. Yes, it is simple I think, each people can do it, but I happy with this. Have a nice day.

I think reading those books is a very good habit, you must have learned a lot about caring for the body, face and everything. I love that idea.

Though I know that I am not among the most beautiful people in the world, I also know that I'm not an ugly person and though my physical appearance is not perfect, I know that at the core of things I am a great person.
The things that I do to love myself are that I accept what I've been given and I don't try to change the person that I was born. I will also occasionally get myself little treats because of the fact that I really do feel like I am worth it.

I see from your response that you do love yourself very much. Thank you for sharing your feelings and love with me:) We all have to accept who we are, that's the premise under which we can make ourselves better.

I am slim and many people blame me about that but I find no problem with it at all. I can eat a lot, sleeping a lot and never worry about being fatter, easy to choose clothes and shoes. I am pleasant with what I did and don't push myself into stress. Before we love the others, we should know to love ourselves first...

Yeah, you make me think of a saying: how can others love you if you don't love yourself?
P.s. You make me envious! I should always keep a diet, or else my weight will be out of control! There are always slim girls who can eat as much as they want, and just DON'T get fat. That's what I'll only have in the dreams...

Loving one's self is not just about taking care of our body physically. Self love is a lot more than just that.
However, to show my love for myself the easiest way to do it is to remember to take care of my body and my mind. I respect myself and behave in a way that people would come to respect me. I treat people the way I want them to treat me.

That's a very good point, Aja:) We should love ourselves physically, and care for ourselves mentally or spiritually. I think the way you behave and treat people is great, I should learn from you.

Each time I wake up, I look in the mirror, smile, thank God that I'm created in His image and tell myself that I'm beautiful. I do the things that I love and enjoy like reading, eating good foods, laughing a lot, dancing, shopping, sleeping. I also pamper myself by going to a spa for a massage 3 to 4 times a month to relieve stress.

You have a very colorful life! I want spas and massages, too, but right now I have the time, but not enough money for me to spend on. I hope you can persist on your wonderous lifestyle and even, you can make some changes to surprise yourself:)

You must love yourself before you know how to love someone , if you dont love yourself how can you expect someone to love you ( you will not believe them if they do).
I love everything about me , walk with my head held high . My skin is very beautiful I dont wear cover up make-up and I am happy I dont have to .

I love myself by showing respect.
I see to it that I act, move and speak as respectable.
I believe that, we should respect ourselves first before others will do.
How will others respect us- if we don't act respectable.

Wow. That is good. Hmmmm... if I was stress and depressed, all I say is "I feel good" over and over again until I forgot about being stress and depressed. Before I work online, I would comb my hair and do the hairstyle then, look at the mirror and would tell "Let's fight. Let us make perfect this time. This is the beggining of a fight. Go!" -- sounds weird, but that is the only way to love myself even more.

I can feel from your description that you have a very positive attitude towards life, which is very important. When I feel stressful, I tend to write something, like a blog, diary and so on. That's a way to talk to ourselves, which is similar to your talking to yourself, isn't it. Enjoy your every day sweetie:D

Yes, we need to be praised at times, so that we have the confidence and motivation to be better.

I pamper myself after a series of hard work and long days of hectic schedules. I also make it a point to eat healthy whenever I could. I used to be so wary of going to the doctor but now, whenever I feel so bad I make sure that I take the time off to visit a physician no matter how important something is going on at my work.

I tend to pamper myself when I fulfill some tasks, too. And I think visiting your doctor and have a check up at regular intervals is very important, even if we think we are healthy. Enjoy your life, Raine!

before you love someone you must learn to love yourself first.. i always take care of myself.. even though i am busy taking care of my baby i never forget my self because i seldom have a free time to go to a salon to pamper myself i just did it to my self.. i do my own foot spa and manicure and even facial too.. i always try to have a positive outlook too so less stress for me which is good for my body and of course i eat healthy so i will feel healthy too.. that's how i show myself how i love me..

interesting question, i do nothing for myself all this year and i think i want to love myself but how? eat chocolate, sleep, shopping, or ........hmmm

I think people always know what they want, and how they can love themselves, it's just that sometimes they cannot calm down and really care about themselves for a while. Sleeping is a great idea, but pay attention not to overeat, ok? That might be unhealthful, I suppose.

What is the thing I do? For me, it is the things I DON'T do to make myself feel better:) As far as possible I do not engage in negative thoughts or interact with negative people, and even try to keep unnecessary activities to a minimum so that I have time for rest. It is in such simplicity that I find peace with myself.

Hi,
When we are honest, we help others and give them happiness and we become happy with their smiling faces, Do some sacrifice for others and many good deeds we do in our life. At that time we get satisfaction and when we look at ourselves in the mirror we feel proud and start loving ourselves whether you are good looking or not. Inner beauty is more important.
