The trinity of self-love, good luck and health ~ The key to making your life shine
1. What is self-love? ・Fundamental power to enrich life
Self-love is not mere self-indulgence or narcissism, but it is a fundamental force that fosters a healthy mind and body and enriches life.
Self-love, good luck and health are not independent concepts, but rather a trinity that is closely related to each other and enhances each other. By having these three things in balance, we can live happier and more fulfilling lives.
2. The relationship of self-love with the law of luck and attraction
Self-love is deeply connected with a phenomenon called the "law of attraction" in the world of psychology. The Law of Attraction is the idea that your thoughts and emotions attract similar events in the real world. People who are full of narcissism are more likely to have positive thoughts and feelings, so they naturally attract good events and opportunities.
2.1 Sowing the seeds of self-love, positive thinking, and good luck
- People with high narcissism are aware of their strengths and talents and have high self-esteem, so they always have positive thinking. Positive self-suggestion such as "I can," "I am worthy," and "I will be loved" encourage self-actualization and encourage actions to achieve goals.
- Even when faced with a difficult situation, you can take a positive view of "this is an opportunity for growth" and find a solution. This kind of positive thinking empowers you to overcome difficulties and consequently brings good luck.
2.2 Self-love, positive emotions and the circulation of good energy
- Self-love fosters positive emotions such as joy, gratitude, and affection. These emotions are also contagious to those around them and play an important role in building good relationships. Good relationships attract new opportunities and information, which enriches our lives.
- Positive emotions also have a positive effect on physical and mental health, boosting immunity and reducing stress. When you're physically and mentally healthy, you'll be more proactive and more likely to seize opportunities for success.
3. Health, mind-body harmony and immunity brought about by self-love
Self-love is essential for maintaining mental and physical health. Taking care of yourself plays an important role in encouraging healthy lifestyle habits and maintaining balance between your mind and body.
3.1 Self-love, mental health, stress reduction and mental stability
- People with high narcissism are able to understand and adequately express their emotions. When you're feeling stressed, you can take time to work on yourself and relax. In addition, because they have high self-esteem, they can live their lives with their own axis without being swayed by the words and actions of others.
- These factors are very important in reducing stress, maintaining mental stability, and maintaining mental health. Stress not only increases the risk of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety disorders, but also reduces the body's immunity and can cause various diseases.
3.2 Self-Love, Physical Health, Healthy Lifestyle Habits and Resilience to Illness
- Self-love motivates you to live a healthy lifestyle. Because we take care of ourselves, we spare no effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising moderately, and getting enough sleep.
- Even if you get sick, people with high self-esteem can believe that they will be cured and actively engage in treatment. This positive attitude increases resilience from illness and leads to a faster recovery.
4. The journey of cultivating self-love and drawing out inner strength
Self-love is not innate, but is nurtured through daily experiences and conscious effort. Below, we'll dive into more specific steps to cultivate self-love and attract good luck and good health.
4.1 Deepening self-understanding, self-analysis and self-reflection
- Start by understanding yourself deeply. By clarifying your strengths, weaknesses, values, interests, goals, etc., you will have a clear outline of yourself. Through self-analysis, recognize your strengths and look for ways to make the most of them.
- Introspection helps us to objectively capture our emotions and thoughts. Every day, even if it's just a little, take time to reflect on your emotions and think about why you feel the way you do.
4.2 Boosting self-esteem, success experiences and positive affirmations
- In order to increase self-esteem, it is important to accumulate successful experiences. Set small goals and praise yourself every time you achieve them. Success experiences boost confidence and motivate you to take on the next challenge.
- Positive affirmations increase your ability to believe in your potential. Every day, look in the mirror and say positive words to yourself: "I can," "I'm worthy," "I'm loved," and so on.
4.3 Deepen self-acceptance: Let go of perfectionism and accept yourself for who you are
- No one is perfect. Everyone has imperfect aspects, and it is natural to have weaknesses and shortcomings. Self-acceptance is about accepting your imperfections and being able to love them as part of yourself.
- Letting go of perfectionism and accepting yourself for who you are can help you feel lighter and less stressed. Acknowledging your weaknesses also helps you become more tolerant of the weaknesses of others.
4.4 Practicing self-respect and taking care of one's mind and body
- Self-respect leads to concrete actions to take care of yourself. Try to eat healthy, exercise moderately, get enough sleep, and avoid stress. Another practice of self-respect is to enjoy your favorite things and hobbies and make time to relax.
4.5 Valuing Emotions and Expressing and Releasing Emotions
- Emotions are a mirror that reflects our inner selves. Suppressing or ignoring emotions can cause mental and physical imbalances. Being honest with your emotions and expressing them appropriately can help keep your mind healthy.
- When you're happy, rejoice as much as you can, and when you're sad, grieve as much as you can. Also, when you feel angry or frustrated, try to express it in a constructive way.
4.6 Valuing relationships and building high-quality connections
- Relationships have a huge impact on our well-being and mental health. Cherish your connection with people who respect you and support you. Actively interacting with people with positive energy will also increase your own self-love.
- On the other hand, it's also important to keep your distance from people who hurt you or say negative things about you.
4.7 Valuing gratitude and noticing small happiness in everyday life
- Gratitude enriches the mind and boosts positive energy. Get into the habit of finding something to be grateful for every day. It doesn't matter if it's a small thing. For example, gratitude for "I was able to spend my day safely today," "I was able to have a delicious meal," and "I was able to see beautiful scenery" will fill my heart.
4.8 Forgive your past self, let go of regrets, and move on to the future
- If you are stuck in the failures and regrets of the past, you will not be able to move forward. Forgive your past self, learn from it, and move on to the future. Your past experiences are an important part of shaping who you are today. By accepting your past self, you can become a stronger, more mature version of yourself.
4.9 Don't compare yourself to others and grow at your own pace
- Each person has different talents and paces. There is absolutely no need to demean yourself by comparing yourself to others. Grow at your own pace. It's important to set goals for yourself and keep working hard to achieve them.
4.10 Seek professional help and don't go it alone
- If you find it difficult to develop self-love, consider seeking professional help. A counselor or therapist can help you understand your state of mind and develop self-love. Don't go it alone, but seek professional help is also an effective way to deepen your self-love.
5. Self-love journeys and experiences and insights gained from them
5.1 Chains of self-denial in the past
In the past, I was far from the word self-love.
- I was constantly comparing myself to others and focusing only on my own shortcomings. It was as if there was always a surveillance camera in my mind, and I was strictly checking my actions and behavior.
- It was easy to get depressed over trivial things, and it was common for me to fall into self-loathing. I felt like I was in a dark tunnel, and I was tormented by a sense of hopelessness with no exit in sight.
- Due to my low self-esteem, I didn't have the courage to try new things, and I always wanted to maintain the status quo. It was as if I was trapped in a transparent glass box.
- Even in relationships, I often suppressed my own opinions while listening to the other person's complexion, which was stressful. I felt like I was someone else's puppet.
- Naturally, his physical and mental health was not good. I was always tired, prone to colds, and often sick with a lot of illness. I was also mentally unstable, and I spent my days suffering from anxiety and frustration. It was as if something was eating away at me from within.
5.2 Awakening to self-love and accumulating small changes
I first encountered the concept of self-love during a counseling session.
- It was there that I learned for the first time that my state of mind had a significant impact on my actions and outcomes. It was like a fog lifting, and it was a moment when I understood how my mind works.
- My counselor advised me to start by finding my strengths. At first, I thought that I would never find anything good about myself, but I tried to write at least one good thing about myself in my diary every day.
- At first, it was all about small things. It was really trivial, such as "I was able to wake up properly in the morning today" or "I was able to greet people properly today," but as I continued to write every day, I gradually began to focus on the good parts of myself. It was as if a small star had begun to shine in the dark night sky.
- I also practiced affirmations. I looked in the mirror and said positive words to myself, such as "I love me" or "I recognize me." At first, I was reluctant, but as I continued to do it every day, it gradually began to resonate with me. It was as if a warm light had lit up in my heart.
5.3 Practicing Self-Love: Change and Growth
Since I became aware of self-love, I have started to see changes in myself, albeit little by little.
- I'm less likely to compare myself to others, and I'm able to do things at my own pace.
- I gained the courage to try new things, and I started taking lessons that I was interested in (local photography circles) and joining new communities (book clubs). By not being afraid of failure and being proactive, I am able to live a more fulfilling life than before.
- In relationships, I was able to express my opinions clearly, and I was able to build more equal relationships. Also, by stopping forcing myself to fit in with the other person, I feel less stressed.
- My physical and mental health has also improved significantly. The fatigue is gone, and it is difficult to catch a cold. I am mentally stable, and I am less anxious and frustrated than I used to be.
5.4 Feeling the Law of Attraction
- Since I became aware of self-love, I feel that good events have naturally gravitated towards me. In the past, bad luck was everywhere I went, but now I have a lot of good information and opportunities.
- In the past, when I had a problem, I would give up immediately, but now I can actively look for solutions and ask for help from those around me. As a result, I have gained the strength to overcome difficulties, and I feel that I have grown more than before.
- Through these experiences, I realized that self-love not only attracts good luck, but also gives us the strength to overcome difficulties.
5.5 Difficulties in cultivating self-love and what I felt on the way
- The journey of self-love has never been a smooth one. At times, I felt like I was going back to my past self or I was falling into self-loathing.
- When someone else said something negative to me, my heart was shaken. It was as if my heart was heavy and I had swallowed lead. However, even at such times, I was able to look forward again by recognizing the differences from my past self and continuing to be aware of my self-love.
- Letting go of perfectionism was also a big challenge for me. I tended to pursue my perfect self, but I realized that acknowledging my imperfect self made my heart lighter.
5.6 The Importance of Practicing and Maintaining and Continuing Self-Love
- Self-love is not something that ends once you get it, but it is important to be aware of it every day and continue to practice it. I still make a conscious effort to keep affirmations every day, write words of gratitude in my journal, and make time to work on myself.
- Sometimes, I try to look back at my past self and recognize where I have grown. I believe that the journey of self-love is never-ending, which is why there is always something new to discover and continue to grow.
