My mom is one of the most important people in my life who has taught me many things which help me throughout my life. Her life experience helps me these days to cope with problems and stay forwards looking. One key lesson she has given me is to love yourself before allowing someone to love me. People are different, and it is important to admit this fact to concentrate on personal achievements without paying attention to the thought of the surrounding. My mom’s favorite book is called ‘The Body Is Not an Apology,’ which shows how people of different races and backgrounds accept their individuality and start loving themselves (Taylor, 2021). She constantly provides common examples of people finding their true love when they build healthy relationships with their bodies and minds. Motivational quotes from the book help me build self-confidence and stay more positive toward others.
My mother shows by example what it means to love yourself by being respectful to my father and grateful to her parents. An additional lesson from self-love that I have learned is the ability to say “no” when it is needed. I became able to prioritize my plans and ensure that I do not harm my friends or relatives by being rude. Self-confidence, in this case, allows one to find the right words during communication and build a warmer connection with other people. I have learned from my mom that people who love their personalities are more open to new connections, and surrounding people do not have to spend much time understanding my character’s hidden aspects. By loving yourself, many areas of life can become stable and beneficial for the general body condition.
