Loving yourself helps create a better world for everyone you meet because you create a sort of ripple effect. Others see how you treat yourself and want the same, and these people will want to gravitate towards you because they find you enjoying your life, experiencing happiness and self fulfillment, achieving your goals and are genuinely living your life with joy, gratitude and a heightened sense of awareness.
I think it's easy to love yourself when you realize how important it is for you to function fully as an individual. Just as a car needs the right fuel, needs maintenance and care, so do our physical bodies. You can also take into consideration, leading a spiritual life that is more aligned with what you want to project onto the world. If you give good energy to others, are vibrating at a higher level, you will receive the same from the universe from the experiences you have.
So true. From the time that I started to care for myself first my life has been far happier and I have attracted far better people into it. I’ve made friends with more genuinely good people in the last year than I did in the previous 28 years of my life.
