It's Aileen from Lavendaire.
00:14
Today I want to talk about 11 ways that self
love will change your life.
00:15
And I promise you: It will change your life,
because these are all things
00:20
that have happened to me.
00:24
These are ways that I've just become aware
of
00:25
how I've transformed over the years, how self
love has really made a positive change
00:28
for me and my life.
00:33
I honestly believe that self love and gratitude
are the root of happiness.
00:35
Those are two things that, if you can practice
them daily, then you'll be so happy.
00:40
Your life will be amazing already, with just
those two things.
00:45

00:56
Alright, here are the 11 ways that self love
will change your life.
00:58
When you truly love yourself, you're gonna
take better care of your body
01:04
and your well-being.
01:07
You'll eat better, you'll exercise more, just
out of respect
01:09
for your own body because you know your body's
working really hard to keep you alive
01:12
and just letting you live your life.
01:17
You're gonna take care of your body in return.
01:19
So when you love yourself, you prioritize
self care because you know that
01:21
your mental well-being is also just as important
as your physical well-being
01:26
You may have heard of the saying "We accept
the love we think we deserve".
01:33
When you have high quality love for yourself,
then you set that standard
01:37
to accept high quality love from others.
01:41
So you start to have low tolerance for people
01:44
who don't value you or respect you, because
when you respect yourself,
01:47
then others will respect you too.
01:52
So it's kind of like "Like attracts like".
01:54
Whatever feelings and emotions you have towards
yourself, you're gonna attract
01:56
more of that to you.
02:00
And anything that doesn't match that feeling,
you're gonna repel it,
02:01
If you love yourself and someone treats you
poorly, you’re gonna be like,
02:06
"Uh uh, I don't have time for that."
02:09
You know what I mean?
02:11
Self love definitely boosts your confidence.
02:15
Because you've learned to love, appreciate,
embrace everything that you are,
02:17
then you're no longer insecure or ashamed
about any of it.
02:21
You might recognize
02:25
that you still have flaws and imperfections,
things that you can work on,
02:26
but you still love yourself regardless.
02:29
When you're confident, you flaunt what you've
got.
02:32
You feel beautiful, you feel powerful, you
hold your head up high and you have more fun
02:35
Along with confidence comes more style and
swag.
02:41
When your self love is high,
02:45
you develop this distinct style that is uniquely
you, and that is because
02:46
you've grown to know yourself.
02:50
You've grown to know your tastes, your aesthetics,
02:52
and basically you know what you like and you
aren't afraid to show it.
02:55
This basically manifests in having a more
unique style,
02:59
being more confident in how you express yourself
in your daily life.
03:02
Self love will also change your relationships
with your friends and family.
03:07
So just a couple examples: Instead of saying
yes to people and being a people-pleaser
03:10
all the time, you're gonna be able to say
no instead, because you value yourself,
03:15
you value your time, and you want to protect
your energy as well.
03:20
Having more self love will also make it easier
for you to forgive others who have hurt you.
03:24
Instead of holding any grudges or being angry
at someone for a long time,
03:29
having self love will teach you to forgive.
03:34
And it's kind of a selfish reason for that.
03:37
It's because, when you love yourself, you
don't want yourself to continue hurting over
03:39
anything that's happened in the past.
03:44
You don't want yourself to suffer at the expense
of others.
03:46
Even if this person doesn't deserve forgiveness
or whatever, you forgive
03:49
just so that you can have a clean slate, you
can have inner peace,
03:53
because you love yourself.
03:57
And all you want is for yourself to be happy.
03:58
And this brings me to my next point.
04:02
Having more self love will make you happier.
04:03
And this is kind of a given, but it’s worth
mentioning.
04:06
Think about, when you love someone,
04:09
you truly want them to be happy.
04:11
Think about, if you love yourself,
04:14
you truly want yourself to be happy.
04:16
So you'll do anything that you can to make
yourself happy.
04:18
So instead of feeling like you're pulled by
societal pressures, what your parents will
04:22
what your friends will think of you, you do
what's best for yourself because you love
04:29
Having self love will give you the courage
to step into the life that you want to be
04:34
instead of being influenced by others.
04:39
Because you love yourself,
04:42
you'll do anything you can to make yourself
happy.
04:43
Self love will also give you more drive and
motivation in life.
04:47
When you have this feeling
04:50
that you have a high self worth, then you're
gonna believe in yourself even more.
04:52
You're gonna believe that you can accomplish
anything you set your mind to.
04:57
Having this belief makes you feel more invincible,
it makes you feel more powerful and strong.
05:01
And because of that, you have a lot more drive
and motivation to do bigger things in the
05:07
You won't settle for any less because you
know that you can accomplish so much more.
05:12
Another major perk of self love is that you're
gonna care so much less
05:16
about what other people think of you and what
other people say about you,
05:19
because I know that, when you feel insecure,
you're so easily swayed
05:23
by what other people have to say.
05:27
You're easily hurt by what other people say
05:28
because you're like, "Oh my god, is it true?
05:30
But in reality, no, they're not right.
05:34
If you truly love yourself, then you see your
self worth and you're not gonna
05:37
take that hate from anybody.
05:42
Positive vibes only, okay?
05:44
So you're gonna learn
05:45
to keep only the people who truly love you
and support you in your inner circle.
05:46
Whatever happens outside of that doesn't matter
anymore.
05:51
If you ever fail or mess up, instead of being
hard on yourself, you're gonna learn
05:54
to be kinder and more gentler to yourself.
05:58
That's the magic of love,
06:01
is that everything is always going to be okay.
06:02
Think of how you would treat a loved one
06:05
when they mess up or fail.
06:07
You're gonna treat them with kindness.
06:09
you know, "It's okay.
06:12
Try again tomorrow."
06:13
That's because love is compassionate
06:14
and love is forgiving.
06:16
Instead of beating yourself up over messing
up or, I don't know,
06:18
just being so hard on yourself, you're gonna
learn to treat yourself kindly
06:22
and give yourself more love because you truly
love and care about yourself.
06:27
When you truly love yourself, you won't need
to feel insecure or compare yourself to others.
06:32
Because you love yourself, you can love others
openly as well.
06:37
So you're more supportive,
06:40
instead of jealous and envious.
06:42
And you know that life doesn't have to be
a competition.
06:44
You don't have to be competing with everyone
because everyone has unique value.
06:47
Everyone brings something unique to the table.
06:52
So you stand strong in who you are
06:54
With that, you're confident, but also humble
06:57
because you won't feel the need to have to
prove yourself all the time.
07:00
Most importantly, self love will set you free.
07:04
What can hold you back
07:07
when you are your own best friend, genuinely
loving and supporting yourself
07:08
throughout your entire life journey?
07:13
Literally nothing and no one can hold you
back
07:16
when you truly love yourself.
07:18
So you're free to step into your greatness,
07:20
you’re free to be fabulous, you're free
to be a light in the world.
07:22
You're free to be yourself.
07:26
Self love is the beginning of allowing yourself
to blossom into everything that you are.
07:28
It's so important and I hope that this video
shines some light on how impactful self love
07:34
and how we can all learn to cultivate self
love, because it's a lifelong practice.
07:40
