People walk around wanting to give and receive love from individuals when they do not know how to love themselves properly. It confuses me because I believe you cannot love anyone until you genuinely love yourself. I think in order to find true love you must first find it within yourself, get to know everything about yourself, you can’t allow another person to get to know your needs want and desire if you don’t you know, so Here are a few tips to get on the journey to dating and falling in love with yourself.

You will understand the difference between real love and struggle love.

I always say if you do not like to be around you, no one else will; you must understand that it is ok to be alone and dive into your own vibes and energy. It will give you a chance to enjoy your own company by creating a spa day for yourself, journaling reading a book, or watching a good movie; it will also give you a strong sense of who you really are and what you really want out of life. Enjoying your own company will give you a chance to be comfortable with yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually; you will understand that it is your job to make yourself happy, you will feel free and empowered by enjoying your own company. You will also have easy access to yourself by unplugging yourself when you need time alone because alone time and self-care goes all in the same boat.
6.Only you can give yourself the greatest love
The oldest saying is that the greatest love of all is self-love. No one will ever love you the way you should love yourself. Imagine looking at your reflection in the mirror and loving that person you see; no one can give you that feeling but you. The way you think about yourself, what you say to yourself, and how you feel about yourself is your responsibility; never ever give anyone that much power to make you feel negative about yourself. Get your own place, car, and career. Never enter a relationship as a needy woman because that is just an opportunity for someone to take advantage of you. Have your own goals and your own life? Understand that having access to you, your time, and love is a privilege, and never allow anyone to tell you otherwise. Love is patient, kind, and beautiful. It is not abusive, physically, emotionally, or financially. Once you start to love yourself unconditionally, it will lead you to the truest love, which is love within yourself, and once the universe sees that, you will be treated like the phenomenal queen you truly are.
