Self-love Is Not Something You Feel. It’s Something You Do.
These 3 mindset shifts just might change your life
I used to do self-love all wrong.
Like many people, I interpreted the term self-love as a feeling. A feeling of “loving oneself.”
This, I guess, is the same mistake people often to do in relationships.
They tell each other they love each other. And often, that is true, in the sense that they feel love for each other.
But the million-dollar question that will make or break the relationship is if they treat each other in a loving way.
Because, what good is a feeling if it’s not followed by coherent action?
The same goes for the relationship we have with ourselves.
It’s not always how we feel that is most important. The actions we take can override the feeling.
We cannot control our feelings. But we can control our actions.
It’s not possible to just decide to feel a certain way. It’s not possible to decide that “from now on, I love myself.”
But what is possible is deciding to act in a certain way.
It is possible to decide that “from now on, I will treat myself in a loving way.”
