Erroneously it is thought that love is a natural feeling, in reality it is a skill that is learned. But where do we learn how to love?
We can learn by observing our parents who love each other, we can learn it with our friends and even from the books and movies we watch. Each of us then creates a more or less realistic idea of what it means to love.
But the most important aspect where we can really learn what love is is the experience of how we love ourselves.
I asked myself the reasons and what could be the reasons that can really convince you that loving yourself is a good idea to love then others. 1. You can't love yourself if you don't know who you are.
Loving yourself means doing things that make you happy. Take time to understand what you like, what your values are, your passions. Those who do not love themselves will always have the need to fill a void and will try to do it also through romantic relationships. 2. Before loving someone, it is important to have satisfying relationships. One way you can learn to love and feel good can be between friends.
Friendships enrich our life and make it more beautiful. Our life must be like this before deciding to share it with someone. 3. Appreciate the time spent in your company.
Most of the time we are stimulated by social media or engaged in something so much that we have lost touch with our thoughts at times.
Searching and appreciating time spent alone can further enhance the time shared with a partner. 4. Face doubts about yourself and your fears.
To do this in some cases professional help may be needed. In fact, we are not always objective and rational when we talk about ourselves. Bringing a light on aspects of us that have long been overlooked can be a good way to ensure that that aspect no longer affects us in present-day relationships.
