Rebuild your self-love
The truth is that selfishness is an extreme that can be bad for society and people around us, but so can an excessive generosity be. However, selfishness is different from self-love and it’s important to love yourself because this is the only way that makes you be able to love others as well. You should realize that you are responsible for your own life and have to become a priority for yourself. Also, the only person that will be with you from the moment you are born, until you die, is you – so, try to appreciate yourself.Â
“You have to be your own best friend,” says Dr. Orloff. “I go to my sacred space and I meditate. I take a few deep breaths, relax, and ask worry, fear, and loneliness to lift so I can just be with myself.”
The best solution is to focus on your positive thoughts and create scenarios with what you’d like to do. “Focusing on what you’re grateful for rather than what you don’t have shifts the negative thinking,” she says.
