Healthy self love

Everyone loves to be loved. That's human nature. At home, workplace, schools and so on...And so often we do get that love. We really do. Even if we don't believe it!

I guess the big question will be how much do we really love ourselves? Yes, we may be so caught up in attracting attention, care and respect from others, we rarely stop to experience that beautiful feeling of love for ourselves, straight from our deep within. This is mainly due to society conditioning since we are young, since it is a virtue to show love and compassion.

Maria Duval says we have to differentiate between people who are egoistic and those who have a healthy self-love. They are two different things altogether. Egoistic people always want to be the centre of attention, they crave to be heard. It seems to us like they love nothing but themselves; the reality is that they are insecure and are sub-consciously longing for love and respect.

Healthy self-love on the other hand is something you experience from within. You don't broadcast it to the rest of humanity! You buy an expensive cell-phone because you want to gift it to yourself, you occasionally tell your husband you don't feel like cooking that day because you feel like you deserve a break!

In the end, love yourself truly and you'll discover the true balance in your life.

With thanks :)
