Self-love is actually love for yourself. It’s about taking care of yourself. It’s about taking care of your own happiness. Loving yourself doesn’t mean you are the smartest, most talented person and all other persons are less than you. It’s about when you accept your weakness, your flaws.
You take care of yourself like you would take care of your friend when they are stressed or in any situation. When you don’t criticize yourself. When you appreciate yourself. Self-love is not being selfish, it is just putting you first and not being rude to yourself.
Why Self-love is important?
