why self love affirmations are important

Self love affirmations will help you clear any issues that you may be having about loving yourself. Unless you love yourself, it is not possible to love the rest of the world. We all are familiar with the proverb ‘Charity begins at home’. Similarly, love starts with the self. It is just not possible to hate yourself and love everybody else. Remember, self love does not mean selfishness. Selfishness implies looking only after your own interests to the exclusion of everything else, whereas self love is a pre-requisite to love everyone else.

Lack of self love has been linked to everything from failure in life to a host of imaginary and real diseases. When, for some reason, one does not love oneself or hates oneself, it translates into many problems.  Lack of self love also breeds a sense of unworthiness. If we deem ourselves unworthy, then naturally we would do anything to please ourselves. Self love affirmations will put a stop to this process.

The following affirmations should be used by everybody, whether you have any issues to solve or not. Select one or two or more that suit you, repeat them with feeling a number of times during the day, if possible in front of a mirror.
