One
of the ways to love yourself more is to stop comparing yourself to
others. Although you are part of a whole, you are also an individual
self, with your own path. The group and family belief systems you have
taken on as your own can be obstacles to your self-love. “Everybody
says it is good to meditate,” you may hear some people say, and so you
feel bad if you do not do so. The challenge of loving yourself is to
step aside from everything people tell you and ask, "Does this fit me?
Does this bring me joy? Do I feel good when I do it?" Ultimately your
own experience is what counts.
