Achieving Self-love

The most critical relationship anyone will ever have in their life is that with oneself. Many time people focus on relationships they have with friends and families, not putting into account their selves. One needs to have a good and healthy relationship with themselves. That is why I make it a priority to take care of and love myself (Musholt, 2015). People often have unhealthy behavioural patterns that they acquire from their parents and the environment. These patterns of behaviour have an impact on a person’s perspective of self. Achieving a good relationship with oneself is possible through investing in self-love.

Self-love may be challenging for most people but necessary. There are three different ways in which a person can achieve this. Forgiveness is one way in which people can make an excellent personal relationship with themselves. It is common for people to do things they are not proud of, and when this happens, they need to accept their flaws, forgive themselves and accept they are not perfect. In my experience, another essential way to show self-love is by spending time with the right people. Spending time with people who bring the best in you can help in maturing self-love. Lastly, exercising self-care helps.it is vital for people to care about their wellbeing, both physically and mentally.

To conclude, the most important relationship is the one I have with myself .as I   strive to maintain good relations with other people I also make sure I to have a good relationship with themselves (Shepard, 2018). Attain a good relationship with yourself is a continuous everyday process and takes time to build. People should learn to take it one step at a time; first, they should learn self-forgiveness, self-care and make sure they spend time with the right people. It is also crucial for one to identify unhealthy behavioural patterns that may affect their relationship.
