5 Reasons To Learn To Love Yourself
thought catalog

Most people, especially women, have something they dislike about themselves. However, there are many reasons that they should learn to love themselves and see the beauty in themselves. Beauty is not always looks. Beauty is everything that a person is made up of, and more.

1. Confidence Is Attractive

People can tell when you are self-conscious and it often makes them feel uncomfortable, whereas when you are confident they usually see the way you glow with happiness. Confidence attracts others, so you won't be lonely. Being confident always makes others feel confident about you.

2. Loving Yourself Relieves Stress

If you feel good about yourself, you won't always be stressed about whether you look good enough. You will actually have the time to enjoy whatever it is you are doing. Lets be honest, what's not to love about yourself?

3. You Cannot Truly Love Anyone Unless You Learn To Love Yourself

If you can't even treat yourself right, how can others believe that you will treat them right. You cannot care for others if you are in too poor of "health." You have to care for yourself in order to care for others. Part of caring for yourself is loving and believing in yourself, and part of that is feeling beautiful and confident in yourself.

4. When Picking Apart Yourself, You Will Pick At Others Very Harshly.

Say you think you have large ears, you meet another person with the same size ears as you but they have a larger head, you will say to yourself "but they have huge ears," but in reality their ears are perfectly normal. When you pick at yourself, you tend to pick at others. So instead of picking out the things you dislike about yourself pick out the things you like.

5. If You Learn To Love Yourself Day To Day Life Will Be Easier Than Before

If you are happy with yourself, life will simply be smoother. You won't feel as if everyday drags on. You will be able to come at life with a much more optimistic point of view. If you learn to love yourself, life will simply be better.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
