HOW TO LOVE.2.
EPISODE 2- LEARNING TO LOVE YOURSELF
1. Begin by loving yourself: You can only truly love
another being when you love yourself properly.
Otherwise, you risk spending a lot of your life
projecting insecurities, pain and other negative
emotions onto other people. People who do this
tend to see the worst in other people so as to
avoid facing that insecurity, pain, or negativity in
themselves.
- Loving yourself is not about putting yourself
before others — that's another form of
confusion. Loving yourself is about having self-
respect, discovering what really makes you
tick, and spending your life being true to your
real talents.
2. Forgive yourself and give yourself license to
make mistakes:
Don't be too hard on yourself.
Life is short, and it's about learning. You won't
learn unless you make mistakes. Give yourself
license to make mistakes, and then love who you
are for all your imperfections.
- If you love yourself only for being perfect,
you're probably making two mistakes:
- Thinking that you are perfect when it's
probably not the case. Unless you're a new
super-breed of human, you're probably
deluding yourself a little bit.
-Holding yourself at a double-standard. You
don't expect everyone else to be perfect,
so why do you expect perfection from
yourself? Treat everyone, yourself included,
by the same standards.
3. Know what loving yourself feels like:
Once you
learn to love yourself, you won't feel threatened
by others' success (real or apparent). You won't
constantly compare yourself to others. You'll be
able to share your love freely with other people.
You'll feel good about yourself even when you're
feeling down. You'll feel proud without being
cocky; optimistic without being oblivious; and free
without being paralyzed by freedom. You'll feel
unafraid to cry.
-To love truly is not only having a capacity to
give love, but also to gracefully open your
heart to receive love. Know that you deserve
love. You are worthy of love.
The more you
feel love in your heart, the more you are able
to give love to others.

HOW TO LOVE .1.
Love is expressed as an action and experienced as a feeling.
Yet, love has an essence that resists defining in any single
way — it encompasses compassion, determination,
tolerance, endurance, support, faith, and much more. If
you're in the dark about how to love, this article should give
you some food for thought, and perhaps teach you a little bit
about how to love yourself, love the world, and love other
people just a little bit more.
EPISODE 1
What Love Looks Like
1. Acknowledge the breadth of love .
Love isn't
simply about romance — to define it so narrowly
is to deprive yourself of the beauty and full extent
of love. Love is a feeling, drive, or emotion that
we experience usually with people, but also with
pursuits, other animals, and nature in general. If
you're looking for it, love can be found in many
places, situations and relationships.
* Love is shared between people — our parents
and children, siblings, spouses and partners,
dates, friends, neighbors, community members
and humanity.
*It's found in the passion for the things you do
in your life, including work, hobbies,
volunteering and the like; it can be found
when you're at your most creative, or "in the
flow."
* Love happens when you embrace the
wonderful awesomeness of life, as you
acknowledge how incredible this world really
is, how intricate and complex life is.
*Love is found in observing nature, in spending
time with companion animals, and in learning
about other living beings in the world.
*Love is at its most giving when it is altruistic,
shown to a stranger we may never meet
again.
* Love cannot be pigeonholed — it's never just
or only one thing; it happens whenever your
heart is open to receiving beauty and wonder
of people, things and events around you.
2. Begin to recognize what love isn't . Because
love can't be pigeonholed, it's sometimes hard to
say it is one things and it isn't another. But in
general, people agree that love is selfless, lasting,
and larger than yourself. In general, people also
agree that love isn't the same as:
- Feelings of lust (e.g., purely sexual interest)
-Ownership or control (co-dependency or
manipulation)
-Obsessive worrying (over-involved parenting
or a spouse always checking up)
- Neediness (insecurity or low self-esteem) and
so forth.
- Love isn't a tool for using people or binding
them to your side; if you find yourself
calling these actions "love," it may be a
good idea to investigate what other people
mean by love.
