It All Starts With Loving Yourself
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the universe, deserve your love and affection”. Although those are the words of The Buddha, they are the way of life of the Joy Kids Universe kids and their families. Somehow, loving yourself has taken on some negative connotations like narcissism or selfishness. But, there’s enough science to show that, if you don’t start with loving yourself, you won’t get very far showing love to others.
So, how do you love yourself? Well, you do it the same you love others – a Joy Kids Universe belief, showing love without judgement.
- Think good things about yourself. Focus on your strengths and good traits. If you think you have any faults (and who doesn’t?), do something to correct them.
- Make yourself look good. Exercise, stay healthy, and keep fit. Dress comfortably and in a style that makes you feel attractive.
- Gift yourself. Buy things for yourself that make you happy, like these “Olive You” Gratitude Bracelets. Eat food that you like, in places that you enjoy. Go on holidays, weekend sorties, and attend events where you can have fun.
- Forgive yourself. We all trip up once in a while. When you do, don’t let it eat at you. Find out why, get over it, then move on and keep on loving yourself.
You can’t give what you don’t have. So, if you want to love your family, friends and others, start out by learning to freely and joyfully love yourself each day!
