There?s so much to consider with regard to learning to love yourself, and the benefits are numerous.
Self-love is really a fairly simple concept, however not always easy to give to yourself. It refers to the ability to regard yourself positively in a variety of ways. You accept yourself as you are, but you are also excited about growing and improving every day.
Self-acceptance doesn?t rely on waiting until ?someday? to start living and enjoying your own company.
Benefits to Self-Love.
You're more satisfied with your life.
You?ll find you are in charge of the ways in which you choose to respond to what happens to you. This leads to greater self-esteem.

That?s because you won?t be worried about or negatively affected by their opinion of you.
You?ll have the self-worth required to create boundaries and stand up for yourself when you?re not heavily invested in how others see you.
Loving yourself makes self-care easier because you?ll understand that you deserve to expend energy, time, and resources on yourself as much as you do on others.
You?ll be more likely to pursue your goals with gusto when you view yourself as worthy of attaining them.

Self-love can help you to better handle rejection. If you?re turned down for a job or a date, you won?t feel as hurt because your identity and self-worth don?t depend on that outside influence.
