Do You Love Yourself?
ByDoes anyone ever ask you just what is Self-Esteem all about? Have you ever wondered about Self-Esteem? Have you noticed there is an increased interest in Self-Esteem? People and organizations are becoming more aware that when they add just a little more Self-Esteem, more potential and productivity are released.
Self-Esteem is the core of a person’s physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Self-Esteem is the self respect you feel for yourself. You can instantly observe a person’s Self-Esteem by the way they treat you. The entire focus of Self-Esteem is on a very difficult word for many people – that word is love. First, love yourself. Then, and only then, can you love anyone else. In other words, you can give only what you have and no more!
In Modern Maturity magazine, Caroline Bird and clinical psychologist, Howard Newberger, were talking about aging and the need for love. They believe some people get into trouble because they fail to realize that love is a developmental relationship that can get broader. For example, as people progress in their loving relationships, they can allow more kinds of relationships in their lives. They can also develop deeper relationships through the years. Love of some kind is essential as long as we draw breath. It is something that we can always be learning. Is it possible, that with focus and practice, the older we get, the better we get at loving ourselves and others?
Caroline Bird says, “Love is the real thing and love is an active process. Love is the overflow of our fulfillment that we give to others, to keep them in their fulfillment. There are four steps to love:
1. Loving yourself.
2. Choosing someone to love.
3. Finding out what that person needs.
4. Doing something about it.”
The most challenging part is loving yourself. I believe there is no better way to age gracefully than to develop your Self-Esteem. The reason people and organizations strive to learn more about Self-Esteem is so they can take quantum leaps.
There you have it. Develop your Self-Esteem daily. Then you will love yourself. This is your best guarantee of success, happiness, and aging gracefully.
Take action now with your Self-Esteem and then, watch what happens!
