Why was this? Was it society’s fault? Was I just overly insecure? Did someone in my past convince me I wasn’t worthy of love?<\/p>\n
The truth is that I’m still trying to figure out the right answer to that. But I’ve invested more energy into aprender a quererme a m\u00ed mismo<\/a> de todos modos.<\/strong><\/p>\n Y I think I’ve made it<\/strong>. Of course, there is always room for improvement, but looking at things from this perspective, I’m proud to say that I’ve come a long way.<\/p>\n So can you \u2013 all you have to do is follow my lead<\/strong> because I’m about to reveal to you all of the secrets it took me years to figure out.<\/p>\n But I won\u2019t only teach you how to qui\u00e9rete a ti mismo<\/a>. I\u2019ll also show you how to be happier and how to make your life a better place. Buckle up and read on!<\/strong><\/p>\n No obstante, antes de pasar a esta gu\u00eda detallada, perm\u00edtanme explicarles qu\u00e9 es el amor propio.<\/p>\n If someone asked me this question years ago, I would\u2019ve told them that self-love means loving yourself \u2013 it’s pretty self-explanatory, isn’t it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Bueno, despu\u00e9s de mucho trabajo, ahora s\u00e9 que este t\u00e9rmino abarca mucho m\u00e1s, e incluye cosas como el autocuidado, amor propio<\/a>y la autoestima.<\/strong><\/p>\n No, it has nothing to do with selfishness, and it’s definitely not a negative trait. Actually, it’s a virtue not many possess.<\/p>\n Quererte a ti mismo significa aceptar tu verdadero yo y hacer todo lo que est\u00e9 en tu mano para pasar cada minuto de tu vida lo m\u00e1s feliz posible.<\/p>\n Por supuesto, eso incluye fomentar tu autocrecimiento y dar prioridad a tus propias necesidades y bienestar.<\/p>\n Bien dicho, lo s\u00e9. But how do you actually accomplish this? Let’s check it out:<\/strong><\/p>\n You don’t just wake up one day and decide to qui\u00e9rete m\u00e1s<\/a>. It’s a skill that has to be taught.<\/p>\n Lo aprendes no cambiando nunca por los dem\u00e1s, estando en contacto con tus sentimientos, evitando hablarte negativamente de ti mismo y no buscando la validaci\u00f3n de los dem\u00e1s.<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course, that’s not all, and here are the steps you should take if you want to start loving yourself the right way.<\/p>\n The worst thing you can do is to expect everything in your life to fall into place this very second. Newsflash: it won\u2019t.<\/p>\n Good things need time and effort, so you better show yourself patience. If you expect too much from yourself, of course, you\u2019ll hate yourself when you see that you\u2019re incapable of reaching all those goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong: I\u2019m not saying that you shouldn\u2019t have plans on how to arrange your life.<\/p>\n I\u2019m just asking you to understand that you\u2019re on a journey. Sometimes, it\u2019s not about the destination you\u2019re traveling to; it\u2019s more about the fun you have along the way.<\/p>\n En lugar de esforzarte demasiado, disfruta cada momento de tu vida<\/a>.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t give up at the first sign of obstacles. Be patient, and I promise you that good things will come when you least expect them.<\/p>\n You know how they say: \u201cyou attract what you are\u201d? Well, this sentence can\u2019t be closer to the truth. Positive thoughts attract positive outcomes, so you do the math and figure out what negative ones do.<\/p>\n Evey expert will tell you the same thing: people who don\u2019t love themselves tend to see everything negatively.<\/p>\n Te pondr\u00e9 un ejemplo. Met\u00ed la pata en el trabajo. Fue un error sin importancia, pero fue m\u00e1s que suficiente para sumirme en la desesperaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Inmediatamente me vi perdiendo mi trabajo y destruyendo mi vida como si fuera lo peor que me pod\u00eda haber pasado.<\/p>\n En consecuencia, empec\u00e9 a odiarme por ser tan est\u00fapida e imprudente. \u00bfC\u00f3mo hab\u00eda podido cometer semejante error?<\/p>\n Por otro lado, Despu\u00e9s de aprender el arte de ser positivo, he dejado de imaginarme el peor de los escenarios cada vez que la m\u00e1s m\u00ednima cosa va mal.<\/strong><\/p>\n En consecuencia, me libr\u00e9 de esos episodios de odio a m\u00ed mismo con los que sol\u00eda lidiar.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bfComprendes ahora la conexi\u00f3n entre el amor propio y el optimismo?<\/strong> \u00bfA qu\u00e9 esperas para empezar a aplicar este consejo?<\/p>\n Have you ever been in a situation where you\u2019re just sitting in a crowded room, looking at all of those people smiling and dying of laughter?<\/p>\n They make being happy and loving yourself look so easy, but yet, for you, it\u2019s one of the toughest jobs in the world.<\/p>\n I know I have. I couldn\u2019t get myself to laugh and smile when all I could think about were my imperfections.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not talking about the fact I was convinced I looked horrible when I laughed (even though that was also an issue) \u2013 I\u2019m talking about the fact that I simply didn\u2019t know how to enjoy life.<\/p>\n Even when I was presumably having the time of my life, I couldn\u2019t chase away the idea that I wasn\u2019t enough and that I did something wrong.<\/strong><\/p>\n Entonces, mi terapeuta me aconsej\u00f3 que empezara a re\u00edrme de mentira. S\u00e9 que suena extra\u00f1o.<\/p>\n But don\u2019t worry: it was not a way to reprimir mis emociones<\/a>. It was just a way to remind my face of the movement it made whenever I\u2019d laugh.<\/p>\n At first, I felt like a clown. I didn\u2019t feel like smiling, and I was obviously acting.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, after a while, I caught myself laughing for real. I didn\u2019t have to pretend: something really was funny.<\/p>\n Antes de darme cuenta, estaba sonriendo porque era capaz de re\u00edr. Y te sugiero que hagas lo mismo.<\/p>\n Read jokes online, look at funny memes or just play a comedy on TV. You\u2019ll see how much better you\u2019ll feel after just one session.<\/p>\n Si sigues pensando que no hay nada por lo que re\u00edr y sonre\u00edr, empieza a escribir un diario de gratitud.<\/p>\n Start with naming one by one what you’re thankful for, such as the unconditional love you get from your parents, that you have enough food on the table, and a roof above your head.<\/p>\n We have a habit of taking these things for granted, but once you realize how happy you actually are, even when you’re at your lowest, I promise you that you’ll start loving your life more.<\/strong><\/p>\n But please, don’t stop after you’ve listed everything. Take a moment out of every day and write at least one thing you’re grateful for.<\/p>\n Sometimes, it will be nothing aside from waking up in the morning alive and well. But hey, just think of all the people who didn’t get that privilege today.<\/p>\n We all have bad qualities \u2013 some are just better at hiding them than others. But they don’t define us.<\/p>\n The number one problem with people who don\u2019t love themselves is that you reduce yourself to your flaws.<\/p>\n Just because you failed at something doesn\u2019t make you a failure. Just because you have a big nose doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re ugly. Just because you made one poor choice doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re stupid.<\/strong><\/p>\n The examples are endless, but I\u2019m sure you see where I\u2019m going. Don\u2019t focus on the bad sides of your personality, and remember that you\u2019re a whole package.<\/p>\n Instead of telling yourself: \u201cI\u2019m so stupid for falling on that guy,\u201d try with \u201cI made a stupid call, and this will serve me as a lesson never to repeat again.\u201d<\/p>\n You\u2019re una persona compleja<\/a> with all of your good and bad qualities. Focusing on the things you don\u2019t like about yourself and reducing yourself to those traits will only further destroy your self-image.<\/p>\n All of this sounds easier said than done. But let me give you a specific task \u2013 something that helped me a great deal.<\/p>\n Coge un bol\u00edgrafo y un cuaderno. Quiero que empieces a escribir un poco.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, you won\u2019t be writing anything similar to a diary. En su lugar, quiero que dediques un momento al d\u00eda a escribir algo bueno sobre ti mismo.<\/strong><\/p>\n S\u00ed, has o\u00eddo bien: hal\u00e1gate a ti mismo<\/strong>. Estas notas pueden estar relacionadas con lo que quieras: tu aspecto, tu estado de \u00e1nimo del d\u00eda o algo que hayas conseguido.<\/p>\n One sentence a day will be enough, but you have to be honest. Write something like: \u201cYou did your make-up great today\u201d or \u201cYour driving skills are improving.\u201d<\/p>\n Why is this important? Well, this way, you\u2019ll have to think of at least one reason why you should love yourself today.<\/p>\n Also, the next time you\u2019re feeling low, poco atractivo<\/a>, and start questioning your worth, all you have to do is go back to this notebook and read some of your good qualities. They will remind you that you\u2019re worthy of love.<\/p>\n When you want to congratulate a loved one for making some progress, you get them a gift, am I right? You reward your child or a pet for behaving themselves, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n These are all the people you love deeply. That must mean you don\u2019t love yourself at all. Because the truth is that you never reward yourself after reaching success or just for some hard work.<\/p>\n Well, it\u2019s time for that to change. You don\u2019t necessarily have to buy yourself something since this has nothing to do with money.<\/p>\n If you do well on an exam, give yourself a night off from all other responsibilities. If you said \u201cno\u201d to someone you wanted to reject, prepare yourself a bubble bath.<\/p>\n Un sistema de autorrecompensa es mucho m\u00e1s importante y, sobre todo, m\u00e1s eficaz de lo que se piensa.<\/strong><\/p>\n Desde que tienes uso de raz\u00f3n, siempre te has castigado por tus errores. \u00bfY qu\u00e9 pasa con los elogios?<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019ve already discussed the importance of getting rid of negativity. Now it\u2019s time to move on to the next step: afirmaciones positivas.<\/a><\/p>\n Basically, it\u2019s a positive statement that helps you overcome negative self-talk and self-hatred.<\/p>\n This is similar to the step in which you reflect on your good qualities daily. The only difference is that here you won\u2019t write down specific things that happened on a given day.<\/p>\n Instead, you\u2019ll wake up every morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and tell yourself how beautiful, smart, and capable you are.<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019ll say that you\u2019re strong and powerful. You\u2019ll tell yourself that nothing is impossible for a chica macarra <\/a>como t\u00fa.<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019ll say that nobody can put you down and that nothing can hold you back. You can achieve everything you set your mind to, regardless of the obstacles along the way.<\/strong><\/p>\n Most importantly: you\u2019ll tell yourself that you\u2019re enough, with all of your flaws and slight imperfections. You\u2019ll say that you don\u2019t have to change for anyone\u2019s sake.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hazte estos y otros cumplidos y rep\u00edtelos como un mantra. Al principio, todo esto puede parecerte una tonter\u00eda.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll say things you clearly don\u2019t believe. But eventually, you\u2019ll realize it really is the truth, and all of that positivity will start to sink in.<\/p>\n He aqu\u00ed otra cosa que tard\u00e9 una eternidad en comprender: nadie puede hazme feliz<\/a> unless I do it myself. Yes, I can be happier in someone\u2019s company, but the true source of my happiness comes from within.<\/p>\n Lo mismo ocurre con el amor propio. You can\u2019t expect others to love you until you learn how to love yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019re the one setting an example for other people in your life.<\/strong> If they see you have no self-respect, they won\u2019t respect you either.<\/p>\n Si ven que no tienes sentido de la autoestima<\/a>, they won\u2019t treat you as valuable either. If you show them you don\u2019t love yourself, you\u2019ll only give them the green light not to love you either.<\/p>\n Prioritizing yourself and putting your own needs first is the ultimate act of self-care. Period. This is completely non-negotiable, so please, don\u2019t let anyone convince you otherwise.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not selfish, and it\u2019s not egotistical \u2013 it\u2019s how things must be done. Remember: the relaci\u00f3n que tienes contigo mismo<\/a> es probablemente la \u00fanica que dura toda la vida.<\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong: I\u2019m not advising you suddenly become a jerk to everyone. But for starters, try treating yourself the way you treat your loved ones. Build a healthy relationship with yourself!<\/p>\n Whether you like it or not, you can’t change your past. Most of the time, you can’t impact much of the future either.<\/strong><\/p>\n Therefore, all you have left is the present \u2013 which is more than enough.<\/strong> If you have trouble enjoying every moment of your life \u2013 try practicing mindfulness.<\/p>\n It’s a type of meditation technique that helps you be fully aware of the moment you’re in right now. It helps you get in tune with your senses and chases away all possible negative thoughts about your painful past or uncertain future.<\/p>\n Para amar a alguien, tienes que conocerlo hasta lo m\u00e1s profundo de su ser, \u00bfme equivoco? Pues eso significa que tienes que conocerte a ti mismo para amarte como es debido.<\/p>\n For starters, engage in some self-introspection. Instead of ignoring the parts of yourself you don\u2019t like, embrace them.<\/p>\n Lo mismo ocurre con tus demonios. M\u00edralos directamente a los ojos y haz todo lo posible por ahuyentarlos.<\/p>\n If that\u2019s not possible right now, don\u2019t worry. Don\u2019t allow them to take over you, but don\u2019t pretend they\u2019re not there either.<\/p>\n Adem\u00e1s, invierte algo de energ\u00eda en investigarte a ti mismo. Don\u2019t overthink your every move or word \u2013 just try figuring out what you love and don\u2019t love.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bfCu\u00e1les son sus preferencias? \u00bfTu libro favorito es realmente tu libro favorito, o s\u00f3lo lo dices porque suena bien?<\/p>\n \u00bfRealmente te gusta c\u00f3mo est\u00e1 decorado tu piso, o fue s\u00f3lo un compromiso con tu ex compa\u00f1ero de piso?<\/p>\n Is it true that you don\u2019t like your naturally curly hair, or are you just straightening it because your ex told you it looked better that way?<\/p>\n At first, these might sound like little things, but trust me \u2013 they\u2019re anything besides that.<\/p>\n These\u2019re all the details that turn you into you, and you have to learn how to love each one of them if you want to learn how to love yourself more.<\/strong><\/p>\n Vivo con un presupuesto. Eso significa que tengo el dinero justo para llegar a fin de mes. Tengo suficiente para comida, alquiler, gasolina y cosas as\u00ed.<\/p>\n If you can relate to this, I bet you can\u2019t remember when the last time you spent money on something you didn\u2019t need but really, really wanted was.<\/strong><\/p>\n You know what I\u2019m talking about: about that little black dress you\u2019ve been window shopping for for months.<\/p>\n Yeah, you probably won\u2019t be confident enough to wear it, but hey, the truth is that you\u2019ve been daydreaming about it every time you see it.<\/p>\n Or even if you did buy it, I\u2019m sure you ate yourself alive. Te sent\u00edas culpable por gastar dinero tan imprudentemente.<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, don\u2019t!<\/strong> Don\u2019t waste money either, but keep in mind that some things are worth the splurge.<\/p>\n If you feel like all of this is too much for you \u2013 there is absolutely no shame in seeking help. A good way to start is to ask your best friend or a family member to tell you all the things they love about you.<\/p>\n No, this is not fishing for compliments. It\u2019s just looking at yourself from a whole different perspective and realizing that there is much to be loved about you.<\/p>\n If that doesn\u2019t help, consider visiting a therapist or a life coach. They are specialized professionals who know the exact way to help you out.<\/strong><\/p>\n Learning how to love yourself is a process that can\u2019t be done overnight. So please, don\u2019t push yourself too hard but don\u2019t neglect your journey either.<\/p>\n Find a balance and take baby steps \u2013 one at a time.<\/strong> Don\u2019t worry if you feel like you\u2019re going backward sometimes \u2013 that\u2019s all part of the process.<\/p>\n Sometimes, you’re somewhere in between: you don’t hate yourself, but you know you have some more work to do. You are looking for ways to love yourself more than you already do, and here they are:<\/p>\n You\u2019re not Mother Theresa, and you were certainly not put in this world to please others. So, why do you still have a problem with saying \u201cno\u201d to the things you don\u2019t like or want to do? It’s about time you establecer l\u00edmites<\/a>!<\/p>\n I don\u2019t care what we\u2019re talking about \u2013 if you don\u2019t want to go out with that friend or don\u2019t feel comfortable being their bridesmaid, just say so.<\/p>\n I know that rejecting other people\u2019s requests brings on anxiety attacks. Don\u2019t worry \u2013 I felt the same way at first as well.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, you know how they say: practice makes perfect. What I\u2019m trying to say is that you have to get past that initial discomfort. I promise that with time, it will get easier.<\/p>\n Trust me \u2013 when you start saying \u201cno\u201d to people, you\u2019ll show them that you\u2019re consciente de su autoestima<\/a>. You\u2019ll show them that you\u2019re not always available and that you refuse to be everyone\u2019s go-to person.<\/strong><\/p>\n But what\u2019s even more important: you\u2019ll show this to yourself. You\u2019ll realize that you have enough self-respect not to waste your energy on pleasing others.<\/p>\n Before you know it, you\u2019ll be proud of yourself for behaving like this.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re wondering how to learn how to love yourself, the answer is: start with cutting off those who don\u2019t love you.<\/strong> Yes, I know what you must be thinking: your self-love mustn\u2019t depend on the opinions of others.<\/p>\n And you can\u2019t be more right. But hey, you can\u2019t expect to thrive if you\u2019re stuck in an unhealthy environment.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s imagine this scenario. You\u2019re doing your best to figure out how to learn to qui\u00e9rete a ti mismo<\/a>. And you\u2019re making some significant progress.<\/p>\n Then, all of a sudden, you meet a friend or family member who keeps on criticizing you. Of course, I\u2019m not talking about those people who tell you the truth and who care about your well-being.<\/p>\n I\u2019m talking about the ones who use every chance they get to put you down, minimize your success, and destroy your self-confidence.<\/p>\n In fact, you know exactly who I\u2019m talking about. I don\u2019t care if these are the ones you consider to be your loved ones, or we\u2019re talking about your closest family members or alleged best friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n Quienquiera que te est\u00e9 se\u00f1alando tus defectos, haci\u00e9ndote cuestionar tu autoestima, jugando con tu salud mental y regando tus dudas sobre ti mismo, \u00a1necesita salir cuanto antes!<\/strong><\/p>\n These people are nothing but bumps on the road along your self-love journey, and that\u2019s the last thing you need.<\/p>\n Everyone keeps telling you that the way to self-love is taking care of your body. And I\u2019m not here to disagree \u2013 physical health is, without a doubt, extremely important for all of us.<\/p>\n No obstante, te dir\u00e9 que hagas ejercicio y cuides tu aspecto no porque odies tu cuerpo, sino porque lo amas.<\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t chase unrealistic beauty standards. Hey, trust me \u2013 even Instagram models don\u2019t look like Instagram models.<\/strong><\/p>\n Instead, observe your body as a temple. Take care of it because you don\u2019t have another one to spare.<\/p>\n Sin embargo, lo que es a\u00fan m\u00e1s importante es nutrir su belleza interior<\/a>. Recuerda: no hay belleza m\u00e1s brillante que la de un buen coraz\u00f3n.<\/p>\n No, I\u2019m not telling you this to become more likable to men or other people in general. I\u2019m advising you to work on yourself because that\u2019s the way to self-love and self-appreciation.<\/strong><\/p>\n Trust me: you\u2019ll like yourself more if you become a kinder, more elevated version of yourself. You\u2019ll love yourself more once you achieve most of your goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n Trabaja tu cerebro, potencia tu inteligencia y, lo m\u00e1s importante: eleva tu esp\u00edritu.<\/strong><\/p>\n What if your low self-esteem is what’s preventing you from giving yourself the love you deserve? I have a solution for that too \u2013 you just have to keep on reading!<\/p>\n Desde que tengo uso de raz\u00f3n, he vivido en una decepci\u00f3n que me wasn\u2019t good enough <\/a>whenever I wasn\u2019t perfect. And to be honest, there weren\u2019t many situations in my life where I could have achieved perfection.<\/p>\n After all, I am just a human being \u2013 not a robot. And so are you.<\/p>\n Eso me hizo pensar. Why did I think that everything except perfection wasn\u2019t good enough?<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, you only receive praise when you\u2019re the best, don\u2019t you? Nobody gives you a medal for participating, let alone for failing.<\/p>\n En lugar de esperar a que otros me digan Yo era lo suficientemente bueno <\/a>even when I wasn\u2019t at the top, I started doing it myself. That\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m suggesting you do: understand that you weren\u2019t born to be perfect; you were born to be real.<\/p>\n La verdad es que nadie es perfecto.<\/strong> Forget about social media and society’s validation. Forget about other people\u2019s phony lives.<\/p>\n We all have our flaws, and it\u2019s your job to embrace yours. Have some self-compassion, for God’s sake, and don’t be so hard on yourself.<\/p>\n En realidad, \u00e9ste es el primer paso para alcanzar el amor propio: amar tus imperfecciones<\/a> y darte cuenta de que nunca podr\u00e1s ser impecable por mucho que lo intentes.<\/strong><\/p>\n What\u2019s one of the crucial steps to handle a lack of self-love? The answer is quite simple: it\u2019s all about self-acceptance.<\/p>\n I know that you\u2019re dying to fit in. Or maybe you want to become someone else to stand a bigger chance with that guy you\u2019re into.<\/p>\n Either way, changing yourself for the sake of others won\u2019t bring you any good. In fact, it will make you hate yourself even more.<\/p>\n To be exact, you\u2019ll hate the version of the person you\u2019re trying to become. That\u2019s why you should always stay true to your real self.<\/strong><\/p>\n At the end of the day, you don\u2019t care if others love it or not \u2013 you have yourself<\/a>, and that’s the most important thing.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, this doesn\u2019t mean that you shouldn\u2019t make any progress. Actually, you should work hard on becoming the best version of yourself at all times.<\/strong><\/p>\n But that\u2019s the key: the best version of YOURSELF, not the best version of someone else.<\/strong> Keep that in mind, and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n Change for the better is always welcome. But there is one important condition: you\u2019re the only one who is allowed to change because of it.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t like some things about yourself \u2013 I don\u2019t care if we\u2019re talking about your appearance or personality \u2013 go ahead and work on it.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s one thing if you start going to the gym because YOU want to lose weight. It\u2019s completely different if you do it because you\u2019re afraid your boyfriend will leave you if you don\u2019t look like you\u2019ve just gotten off a magazine cover.<\/p>\n Una de las peores cosas que puedes hacerle a tu ya baja autoestima<\/a> es compararte con los dem\u00e1s y pedir su validaci\u00f3n. Cari\u00f1o, siempre habr\u00e1 personas m\u00e1s inteligentes o chicas m\u00e1s guapas <\/a>out there \u2013 or at least, you think there will be.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to fill anyone’s shoes \u2013 especially not your ex\u2019s new girlfriend<\/a>, your BF\u2019s ex, or that toxic coworker who keeps giving you the eye.<\/p>\n So what if most of your high school friends are married with kids and you\u2019re single? What if your former coworker has a dream career while you\u2019re still stuck in the same position.<\/p>\n Grow at your own pace and forget about everyone else\u2019s progress. It\u2019s one thing if they serve you as an inspiration, but it\u2019s something completely different if you compare yourself to others to the point of self-hatred.<\/p>\n You know how they say: There is no comparison between the sun and the moon. They both shine when it\u2019s their time.<\/p>\n Falling out of love with yourself is one of the worst things that can happen to you. If that is something you’re struggling with, here are ways to fix it. Start loving yourself again with the help of these steps.<\/p>\n When you hold grudges against someone, can you love them to the fullest? I know I can\u2019t, and I bet you\u2019re the same.<\/p>\n Puedes preocuparte por esa persona, pero siempre habr\u00e1 algo que te impida entregarle todo tu coraz\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Well, what makes you think that not forgiving yourself doesn\u2019t impact your self-love? I assure you it does.<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s why el perd\u00f3n es uno de los mejores regalos que puedes hacerte a ti mismo<\/a>. Actually, it\u2019s one of the most important gifts you have to give to yourself \u2013 that is, if you want to learn how to love yourself in the right way.<\/p>\n Mira, todos cometemos errores. S\u00e9 que tuve mi cuota de errores en su d\u00eda. Al diablo con eso, sigo cometi\u00e9ndolos todos los d\u00edas.<\/p>\n \u00bfPero sabes cu\u00e1l es el truco? It\u2019s to have mercy for yourself the same way you have mercy for others.<\/strong><\/p>\n No, self-forgiveness shouldn\u2019t serve as an excuse to keep on messing up your life. It\u2019s not a green light to deliberately and consciously do yourself wrong just because you\u2019ll forgive yourself later.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, let\u2019s go back to the perfection part. We\u2019ve established that nobody, including you and me, is perfect.<\/p>\n Imperfect people make mistakes, don\u2019t they? Well, it\u2019s time to forgive yourself for everything wrong you did in the past.<\/strong><\/p>\n After all, you can\u2019t change it, can you? So, what\u2019s the point of being so resentful?<\/p>\n Instead of allowing your mistakes to hold you back, see them as lessons. They shaped you into becoming the person you are today, and they\u2019ve taught you a lot.<\/p>\n Lo mismo vale para perdonar a los dem\u00e1s. Cari\u00f1o, a veces s\u00f3lo tienes que aceptar la disculpas que nunca recibiste<\/a>.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t do it because that person who did you harm deserved it (because I can bet they didn\u2019t) \u2013 do it to set yourself free.<\/p>\n Trust me \u2013 loving yourself gets much easier once you stop hating everyone else \u2013 including those who broke your heart.<\/p>\n Sometimes, your mind can be your worst enemy. After all, that\u2019s where all the self-hatred comes from in the first place.<\/p>\n So, if you\u2019re figuring out how to love yourself, you have to stop all of that cavilaciones innecesarias<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Deja de perder tanto tiempo mir\u00e1ndote al espejo y buscando diferentes defectos.<\/strong> Trust me: you could be a supermodel, but you\u2019ll still find something you don\u2019t like about yourself if you analyze things too much.<\/p>\n The same goes for your personality and life quality. As long as you dissect every aspect of your being, you\u2019ll find something you don\u2019t like about it.<\/p>\n If you were a kid who wasn\u2019t explained the importance of self-love, you\u2019d have a problem with doing so as an adult. Self-love is taught, and you\u2019re getting instructions on how to love yourself as we speak.<\/strong><\/p>\n Antes de hacer nada, tienes que darte a ti mismo autorizaci\u00f3n para <\/span>autocuidado<\/span><\/a> and self-love. As funny as it sounds, you\u2019re actually not aware that you\u2019re the one blocking all of that love from yourself.<\/p>\n For starters, make a decision to join this self-love journey. Decide you\u2019ll do whatever it takes to learn on this path and eventually feel better in your own skin.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t know where to start, empieza por hacer algo bueno por ti mismo<\/strong>. Reserve una jornada de bienestar, t\u00f3mese un d\u00eda libre en el trabajo o simplemente t\u00f3mese un tiempo para relajarse y no hacer nada.<\/p>\n I won\u2019t lie to you: these things alone won\u2019t make some magical changes. But pampering yourself is probably the best way to begin this self-love journey.<\/p>\n Si no hay nada m\u00e1s, recargar\u00e1 sus bater\u00edas lo suficiente como para empezar este proceso de la manera correcta.<\/p>\n If all of this wasn’t enough, read my collection of the quotes that helped me a great deal when I wondered how to love myself. I promise each one of them is empowering and motivating!<\/p>\n 1. \u201cOwning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we\u2019ll ever do.\u201d \u2015 Unknown<\/p>\n 2. \u201cEat like you love yourself.

Act like you love yourself.\u201d \u2015 Unknown<\/p>\n 3. \u201cLove yourself for who you are, and trust me, if you are happy from within, you are the most beautiful person, and your smile is your best asset.\u201d \u2015 Ileana D’Cruz<\/strong><\/p>\n 4.\u201cEveryone of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process, care for ourselves.\u201d \u2015 Lady Di<\/p>\n 5.\u201cFind the love you seek by first finding the love within yourself. Learn to rest in that place within you that is your true home.\u201d\u2015 Sri Sri Ravi Shankar<\/p>\n 6. \u201cThere are women who struggle to gain weight who are beautiful. There are women who struggle to LOSE weight who are beautiful. You know who is the most beautiful? Those who learn to love themselves the way they are. You don\u2019t need to change for ANYONE.\u201d \u2015 Teresa Mummer<\/p>\n 7. \u201cWe must fall in love with ourselves. I don\u2019t like myself. I\u2019m crazy about myself.\u201d \u2015 Mae West<\/p>\n 8. \u201cSend yourself a love letter and then take the time to read it to yourself. Express your heartfelt love to yourself.\u201d \u2015 Iyanla Vanzant<\/p>\n 9. \u201cTo be a happy person, one has to drop all comparisons. Drop all these stupid ideas of being superior and inferior. You are neither superior nor inferior. You are simply yourself! There exists no one like you, no one with whom you can be compared. Then, suddenly, you are at home.\u201d \u2015 Osho<\/strong><\/p>\n 10. \u201cLove yourself unconditionally, just as you love those closest to you despite their faults.\u201d \u2015 Les Brown<\/p>\n It’s impossible to stress the importancia del amor propio <\/a>suficiente. Learning how to love yourself sometimes takes a lifetime, but trust me when I tell you that it’s one of the most significant skills you’ll ever acquire.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 es el amor propio?<\/h2>\n
