1. You are all you've got
At the end of the day, you are the one true person who is going to be there for yourself. Whether it is to motivate yourself, be angry with yourself, or proud of yourself. You are the one person that will always react to what is going on in your life.
2. Self-love attracts love
Before you can love someone else, you must love all everything about yourself, the good and the bad. You must love yourself for the mistakes you've made and the successes you've accomplished. Loving yourself will only open opportunities for you to love someone else and let someone love you.
3. Loving yourself creates the best version of yourself
If you love yourself, then you care about your mental and physical health. This leads you to live a life that is taking into consideration the harms you can do to your body or your mental state. Surrounding yourself with people who only better your mental health and taking the right steps to live a healthier lifestyle all start and end with you loving and caring about YOURSELF first.
4. If you love yourself, your self-image will become easier and easier to accept
Loving yourself and everything that you bring to the table is a part of loving your self-image. All of your flaws make you the outstanding human being you are today. Not caring what others think or how others expect you to look is crucial and a huge part of loving yourself. Loving yourself for who you are and who you were made to be will make it easier to ignore the world's voice of what you should look like, how you should dress, and who you should associate with.
5. THERE IS ONLY ONE YOU
Lastly, as many people like to believe and turn to be someone else. There will always be one you in this universe and as long as that stands true you should embrace that and use the uniqueness that you have and love it. You can only gain positives from loving yourself. You will always have a cheerleader by your side if you love yourself first and remember that no one else can compare to the unique human being you are.
