Loving yourself is the foundation for joy from "summary" of Happiness is a Habit by Michele Phillips
To experience joy in your life, you must first learn to love yourself. This may seem like a simple concept, but it is actually quite profound. Loving yourself means accepting who you are, flaws and all, and recognizing your own self-worth. When you truly love yourself, you are able to find happiness in even the smallest moments. Self-love is not about being selfish or narcissistic. It is about treating yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you would offer to a friend in need. When you love yourself, you are better equipped to handle life's challenges and setbacks. You are more resilient, more confident, and more at peace with yourself. When you love yourself, you are able to set healthy boundaries and prioritize your own well-being. You are not afraid to say no to things that do not serve you, and you are more in tune with your own needs and desires. This self-awareness and self-care are essential components of a joyful life. Loving yourself is also about forgiveness. It is about letting go of past mistakes and embracing your imperfections. When you are able to forgive yourself, you free yourself from the burden of guilt and shame. You are able to move forward with a sense of lightness and freedom.- Loving yourself is the key to unlocking true joy in your life. When you love yourself, you are able to cultivate a positive mindset and see the beauty in the world around you. You are able to find joy in the simple things, and you are better able to weather life's storms with grace and resilience. Joy begins within, and it all starts with loving yourself.
