10 Ways To Learn To Love Yourself and Be Happy
Why is self love such a vital component to your health? Can you love someone else if you don't love yourself?
Some things may be equally essential but there is nothing more important than a healthy sense of self-worth and loving yourself. Along my journey to discovering myself and searching for ways to achieve self-love, I learned many truths that continue to support my personal effort.
In my experience, ten ways to learn to love yourself are:
1.) Don't compare yourself to others.
Everyone is unique in their own way and life is too short to try to be like someone else.

2.) Exercise, exercise, exercise.
Not just for a better physical appearance but for your emotional health as well. Exercising is great for the soul.

3.) Forgive and forget.
Do whatever you have to do to accept whatever it was and move on. Whether it be a friendship that ended badly or you caught your ex cheating on you. Holding grudges is extremely bad for you and only causes more worry than you need.

4.) Don't be afraid to flaunt your good qualities!
Love your hips? Buy jeans that accentuate them.
5.) Stop apologizing for everything you do.
Those who mind don't matter and those who matter, won't mind.
6.) Surround yourself with positive people.
Don't be afraid to put yourself around people who compliment you and make you feel good about yourself.
7.) Set goals for yourself and achieve them!
Nothing feels better than being able to say you've accomplished what you've been wanting to achieve for a long time.
8.) Look yourself in the mirror and find something you like.
9.) Become aware of your thoughts.
Pay attention to when you start thinking negative things about yourself. Simply being aware of when you start to put yourself down is a big step and will help you disengage those thoughts. Instead, say something positive to yourself like, "I have a great smile."
10.) Celebrate your differences.
Somethings the very thing we hate about ourselves is what makes us so special. Embrace your differences and learn to love them.
