What’s in it for me? Heal your relationship with yourself.

Self-love isn’t as simple as it looks on social media. In fact, for many of us, self-love doesn’t come naturally. But the good news is that self-love is a learnable skill that can be cultivated with practice, intention, and mindful attention.

In this Blink, we’ll take you through some of the highs and lows of learning self-love, while also providing some tips and tools you can use to develop your own self-love practice. Don’t be deceived – it’s not all smooth sailing. But it’s a journey well worth taking. Once self-love is part of your daily experience, you’ll live more fully; have healthier relationships and a greater capacity to share love with others; and possess more agency and autonomy to work towards your goals. So, let’s get started!

Pause and reflect on how you measure self-value

If you typed “self-love” into your web browser, the internet would offer you endless links to click. But despite the proliferation of content available, many people have misconceptions about what self-love actually is.

Self-love isn’t about minimizing the challenges of life and relationships; nor does it encourage perfectionism or a “be happy” attitude. Rather, self-love is about learning to identify and manage the inner fault-finding critic who has the power to create a hostile, shame-laden environment in our minds and hearts. While we may never silence this voice completely, learning to recognize it and the negative impact it has on our lives helps us quieten it, rather than believing it speaks the truth.

A lack of self-love is often the driving force behind behaviors in our lives that cause us pain. For instance, it can manifest in destructive patterns like pursuing emotionally unavailable partners or codependent relationships, compulsive dieting and body hating, self-sabotage, addictions, and unhelpful self-talk. When self-love isn’t part of your life, you perceive yourself to be in a state of deficiency – one that would change if only you could attain the missing ingredient. “If I only got that promotion…” you think. “If only I lost ten more pounds… If only I had the perfect partner…”

Usually, a lack of self-love arises from pain we’ve experienced in the past. And while it can be difficult, it’s important to explore the origins of those hurts, if we want to change how we feel about ourselves. This experience might make you feel vulnerable and raw. For instance, you might find yourself thinking about how your parents taught you to believe that love is transactional and comes with conditions of “good” behavior. Maybe this in turn taught you to believe you must perform in a certain way and are only worthy of love unless you earn it.

Rumination is the first step of the grieving process that comes with change and growth. As you move through this, however, try shifting your focus away from the pain and towards being curious about the dysfunctional patterns that show up in your relationship to yourself and others.

Make time to explore your thoughts and feelings, and practice identifying and expressing your emotions with honesty and vulnerability. And don’t feel like you have to do this alone. Investing in therapy, and nurturing relationships with trusted, supportive people are all part of the self-love journey.

Why invest in self-love?

Self-love is often portrayed as a happy, celebratory activity that’ll leave you with a big grin on your face. So it can be a shock to learn that the journey to self-love can involve anger, sadness, resentment, and heartbreak. Maybe you are mourning the family you wish you’d had, or the pain you’ve caused yourself and others. Maybe you’re grieving for all the years you’ve lost to people-pleasing – years you’ll never get back.

As you commence your journey to self-love, you might start wondering whether you’ll ever get through this difficult process, or if it’s even worth it. But keep in mind that moods are all like the weather – they’re seasonal and constantly shifting. This might in fact be one of the most important takeaways from this journey of self-love. While difficult emotions might feel unbearable in the moment, they’re often an expression of feelings that you repressed and pushed down for years. You may not have been allowed to express anger at your parents as a child, or set healthy boundaries that prioritize your needs. And learning how to do that is crucial for self-love.

Jumpstart your self-love journey by checking in

Before you start your self-love journey, it’s important to get a sense of your starting point. That way, you’ll have greater awareness of the guideposts, goals, and obstacles you might encounter along the way. As you embark on this journey, remember that it won’t be linear. You may move forwards, then back, then ahead once more.

Reflect on the statements that follow and decide whether you never feel this way, always feel this way, or if you sit somewhere in between.

Choose grace, gentleness, and compassion

No matter how hard we try, there are always moments when we revert to self-criticism. But luckily, there are tools that can combat these moments with greater ease, fluidity, and compassion.

If you notice that you’re being self-critical, take a moment to stop and release judgment. Doing this will channel self-respect, dignity, and kindness to you. Low moments are a part of everyone’s experience: getting fired or laid off from a job; being dumped by a romantic partner; not being invited to a social event; having a health or fitness set-back.

Build a sturdy self-worth foundation

Self-worth is an important component of self-love. It means knowing that you deserve to be cherished, accepted, and loved by others, and treating yourself in the same way. This is important because the way you treat yourself influences how others treat you.

The foundation of self-worth might come as a bit of a surprise. It’s joy. Simple as that.

Fortify your boundaries

Do you ever stay longer at a social event that you’d like, or say yes to requests that don’t suit you? Do you feel pressured to drink alcohol, or buy things you can’t afford? Do you find yourself working on your time off or missing important family functions for last-minute emergencies? Do you lack control over eating, intimacy, and alone time? If this sounds familiar, it’s time to love yourself by setting healthy boundaries.

Healthy boundaries are not about controlling other peoples’ behavior, but rather a matter of respecting your limits and communicating your needs clearly. Learning how to set them starts by establishing boundaries for yourself. From there, you can build up your confidence in setting and maintaining boundaries with others.

Final Summary

The only way to cultivate self-love is to embrace your complete self: your vulnerability, insecurities, and the struggles that have formed you. By moving forward with greater gentleness, understanding, and loving concern towards yourself, you can transform your life and enrich your relationships with grace and compassion.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
