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 amar-me a mim pr\u00f3prio<\/a> de qualquer forma.<\/strong><\/p>\n E 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 ama-te a ti pr\u00f3prio<\/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 entanto, antes de avan\u00e7armos para este guia detalhado, deixe-me explicar o que \u00e9 o amor-pr\u00f3prio.<\/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 Bem, depois de muito trabalho \u00e1rduo, agora sei que este termo engloba muito mais, e inclui coisas como o autocuidado, respeito por si pr\u00f3prio<\/a>e auto-aprecia\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/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 Amar a si pr\u00f3prio significa aceitar o seu verdadeiro eu e fazer tudo o que estiver ao seu alcance para passar cada minuto da sua vida o mais feliz poss\u00edvel.<\/p>\n \u00c9 claro que isso inclui encorajar o seu auto-desenvolvimento e dar prioridade \u00e0s suas pr\u00f3prias necessidades e bem-estar.<\/p>\n Muito bem dito, eu sei. 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 ame-se mais<\/a>. It’s a skill that has to be taught.<\/p>\n Aprende-se a n\u00e3o mudar pelos outros, a estar em contacto com os sentimentos, a evitar a conversa fiada negativa e a n\u00e3o procurar a valida\u00e7\u00e3o dos outros.<\/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 Em vez de se esfor\u00e7ar demasiado, aproveite todos os momentos da sua 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 Vou dar-vos um exemplo. Fiz uma asneira no trabalho. Foi um pequeno erro, mas foi mais do que suficiente para me deixar em desespero.<\/p>\n Vi-me imediatamente a perder o meu emprego e a destruir a minha vida como se fosse a pior coisa que me podia ter acontecido.<\/p>\n Consequentemente, comecei a odiar-me por ter sido t\u00e3o est\u00fapido e imprudente. Como \u00e9 que eu podia ter cometido um erro t\u00e3o grande?<\/p>\n Por outro lado, depois de ter aprendido a arte de ser positivo, deixei de imaginar o pior cen\u00e1rio poss\u00edvel sempre que a mais pequena coisa corre mal.<\/strong><\/p>\n Consequentemente, livrei-me dos epis\u00f3dios de auto-avers\u00e3o com que costumava lidar.<\/strong><\/p>\n Compreende agora a liga\u00e7\u00e3o entre o amor-pr\u00f3prio e o otimismo?<\/strong> De que est\u00e1 \u00e0 espera para come\u00e7ar a aplicar este conselho?<\/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 Depois, o meu terapeuta aconselhou-me a come\u00e7ar a rir a fingir. Eu sei que parece estranho.<\/p>\n But don\u2019t worry: it was not a way to reprimir as minhas emo\u00e7\u00f5es<\/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 Quando dei por mim, j\u00e1 estava a sorrir porque fui capaz de me rir. E sugiro que fa\u00e7as o mesmo.<\/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 Se ainda acha que n\u00e3o h\u00e1 nada para rir e sorrir, comece a escrever um di\u00e1rio de gratid\u00e3o.<\/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 uma pessoa complexa<\/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 Arranja uma caneta e um caderno. Quero que comeces a escrever um di\u00e1rio.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, you won\u2019t be writing anything similar to a diary. Em vez disso, quero que dedique um momento do seu tempo todos os dias para escrever algo de bom sobre si pr\u00f3prio.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sim, ouviram bem: elogie-se a si pr\u00f3prio<\/strong>. Estas notas podem ser relacionadas com o que quiser: o seu aspeto, a sua disposi\u00e7\u00e3o para o dia ou algo que tenha realizado.<\/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, pouco atrativo<\/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 Um sistema de auto-recompensa \u00e9 muito mais importante e, acima de tudo, mais eficaz do que se possa pensar.<\/strong><\/p>\n Desde que se lembra, sempre se castigou pelos seus erros. E quanto a elogiar-se a si pr\u00f3prio?<\/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: afirma\u00e7\u00f5es 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 rapariga durona <\/a>como tu.<\/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 Fa\u00e7a estes e outros elogios a si pr\u00f3prio e repita-os como um mantra. No in\u00edcio, tudo isto pode parecer-lhe disparatado.<\/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 Eis outra coisa que demorei imenso tempo a perceber: ningu\u00e9m pode faz-me 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 O mesmo se passa com o amor-pr\u00f3prio. 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 Se eles virem que n\u00e3o tem sentido de 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 rela\u00e7\u00e3o que tem consigo pr\u00f3prio<\/a> \u00e9 provavelmente a \u00fanica que dura uma vida inteira.<\/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 algu\u00e9m, \u00e9 preciso conhec\u00ea-lo at\u00e9 ao \u00e2mago do seu ser, n\u00e3o \u00e9 verdade? Bem, isso significa que temos de conhecer o nosso verdadeiro eu para nos amarmos a n\u00f3s pr\u00f3prios de forma adequada.<\/p>\n For starters, engage in some self-introspection. Instead of ignoring the parts of yourself you don\u2019t like, embrace them.<\/p>\n O mesmo acontece com os seus dem\u00f3nios. Olhe-os diretamente nos olhos e fa\u00e7a o seu melhor para os afastar.<\/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 Al\u00e9m disso, invista alguma energia em investigar-se a si pr\u00f3prio. Don\u2019t overthink your every move or word \u2013 just try figuring out what you love and don\u2019t love.<\/strong><\/p>\n Quais s\u00e3o as suas prefer\u00eancias? O teu livro preferido \u00e9 mesmo o teu livro preferido, ou s\u00f3 o dizes porque soa bem?<\/p>\n Gosta mesmo da decora\u00e7\u00e3o do seu apartamento ou foi apenas um compromisso com o seu ex-companheiro de quarto?<\/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 com um or\u00e7amento limitado. Isso significa que tenho dinheiro suficiente para fazer face \u00e0s despesas. Tenho o suficiente para comida, renda, gasolina e coisas do g\u00e9nero.<\/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. Sentia-se culpado por gastar dinheiro de forma t\u00e3o imprudente.<\/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 estabelecer limites<\/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 do seu valor pr\u00f3prio<\/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 ama-te a ti pr\u00f3prio<\/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 Quem quer que esteja a apontar os seus defeitos, a fazer com que questione a sua autoestima, a brincar com a sua sa\u00fade mental e a regar as suas d\u00favidas, precisa de sair o mais depressa poss\u00edvel!<\/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 entanto, digo-vos que fa\u00e7am exerc\u00edcio e cuidem da vossa apar\u00eancia n\u00e3o porque odeiem o vosso corpo, mas porque o amam.<\/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 No entanto, o que \u00e9 ainda mais importante \u00e9 nutrir o seu beleza interior<\/a>. Lembrem-se: nenhuma beleza brilha mais do que a de um bom cora\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/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 Trabalhe o seu c\u00e9rebro, potencie a sua intelig\u00eancia e, mais importante ainda, eleve o seu esp\u00edrito.<\/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 me lembro, vivi numa ilus\u00e3o de que 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 Ent\u00e3o, isso fez-me 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 Em vez de esperar que os outros me digam Eu era suficientemente bom <\/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 A verdade \u00e9 que ningu\u00e9m \u00e9 perfeito.<\/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 Este \u00e9, na verdade, o primeiro passo para alcan\u00e7ar o amor-pr\u00f3prio: amar as suas imperfei\u00e7\u00f5es<\/a> e perceber que nunca se pode ser perfeito por mais que se tente.<\/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 Uma das piores coisas que pode fazer ao seu j\u00e1 baixa autoestima<\/a> \u00e9 comparar-se com os outros e pedir a sua valida\u00e7\u00e3o. Querida, haver\u00e1 sempre pessoas mais inteligentes ou raparigas mais bonitas <\/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 Podes gostar dessa pessoa, mas haver\u00e1 sempre algo que te impede de lhe dares todo o teu cora\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/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 o perd\u00e3o \u00e9 um dos maiores presentes que se pode dar a si pr\u00f3prio<\/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 Olha, todos n\u00f3s cometemos erros. Eu sei que tive a minha quota-parte de erros no passado. Que se lixe, continuo a comet\u00ea-los todos os dias.<\/p>\n Mas sabes qual \u00e9 o truque? 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 O mesmo se aplica ao perd\u00e3o dos outros. Querida, por vezes temos de aceitar o desculpas que nunca recebeste<\/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 pensar demasiado e desnecessariamente<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Deixe de perder tanto tempo a olhar-se ao espelho e a procurar defeitos diferentes.<\/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 fazeres qualquer coisa, tens de te dar a ti pr\u00f3prio autoriza\u00e7\u00e3o 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, come\u00e7ar por fazer algo de bom para si pr\u00f3prio<\/strong>. Reserve um dia de bem-estar, tire um dia de folga do trabalho ou simplesmente tire algum tempo para relaxar e n\u00e3o fazer 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 Se mais n\u00e3o for, ir\u00e1 recarregar as suas baterias o suficiente para iniciar este processo da forma 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.

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.

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 import\u00e2ncia do amor-pr\u00f3prio <\/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>\nO que \u00e9 o amor-pr\u00f3prio?<\/h2>\n
