How do you show someone you love them? How do you love yourself?

Self-esteem is hinged on self-respect. If you treat yourself well, you’ll attract others to treat you well too.

Aren’t these the ways you show someone you love them?

• you go out of your way to provide what they need (affection, support, space…)

• you listen respectfully to their concerns, providing constructive feedback

• making it fun for them to be with you, so you think of different things youcould do together. Love yourself first.

• you encourage, uplift and affirm them

• you nurture them, encouraging them to look after their health(to eat well, exercise…)

• surprising them with small gifts, treats, sms messages or cards

• if you need to correct them, you do so constructively and respectfully

• if you accidentally hurt or upset them, you apologise and make it up to them

• you support their growth and freedom

• you show interest in what they do

  
  

Do you provide these thoughtful actions to yourself?

• you go out of your way to ensure you get what you need (space )

• you listen respectfully to your concerns, providing constructive feedback in your journal

• having fun just by yourself, so you find things you enjoy doing

• you encourage, uplift and affirm yourself in your journal

• you nurture yourself, and look after your health (eat well, exercise…)

• treating yourself to small gifts (without guilt!)

• if you need to correct yourself, you do so constructively and respectfully

• if you hurt or disadvantage yourself, you find ways to make it up to yourself

• you support your growth and freedom

• you respect what’s important to you and allow time and space for it
