Self Love as the Key to a Happy Life

According to Deborah Khoshaba Psy.D, self love is a dynamic appreciation of oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological, and spiritual growth (Psychology Today, 2012). It means being honest with ourselves about our shortcomings and the strengths we have, and also being ourselves. Just as we love other people, we need to love ourselves.

Many people think that self love is a form of selfishness. This thinking is of course wrong. Thinking about family, friends, or other people is indeed not wrong, but we ourselves also need care and attention. Sometimes if we think too much about others, we can forget ourselves and, worse, no longer recognise ourselves. Therefore, it is important for us to apply self love in our daily lives.
