Hello everyone thankyou very much for joining today. Let me introduce
myself, my name is Huliyatun Nazmihaolah and I am a student at Siliwangi
University, majoring in Mathematics education.
The purpose of my presentation this time is to invite all of you to be grateful
for God's gifts and to love yourself as God's most beautiful and perfect creation.
Ralph Marston once said, “You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You
are here to be yourself, not to live someone else's life.” So, let's understand what
selflove is, what are the benefits and how to do it!
Have you ever heard about selflove? Well, let me tell you
People who have self-love are those who are able to respect themselves, those
who are able to make friends with themselves so that they become better individuals
for themselves and others. For example is when you have managed to accept your
weaknesses and strengths, focus on the life you have, then live satisfied with the
efforts you are doing.
People who do not have self-love tend to punish themselves constantly with
negative thoughts that undermine self-esteem and make it difficult to grow everyday.
It's not entirely wrong to criticize yourself. In fact, sometimes with that
criticism, you might be able to be better and develop yourself in the future. However,
the negative criticism that keeps popping up in your head often is too domineering
and even destructive. This prolonged destructive criticism can make you even more
desperate, into depression, not even a few can commit suicide because of self-hatred,
so please don't be like that!
The first 4 steps to love yourself:
The first is self-awareness, those of you who want to increase self-love must
first be aware of yourself. the point is that you have to know and understand your
character, what are your weaknesses and strengths. With you getting to know yourself
better, you will be able to determine the direction, where you want to go. Like a ship,
you are the captain in your own ship, it is not someone else who determines the
direction of your ship and the destination of your ship but yourself.
The second one is self worth.
Self worth is a principle that a person has when he knows himself. Self-worth
will be present when a person has realized that he does not need to follow other
people's standards of judgment because he already knows what is the standard for
himself. People who have this ability, can be sure will have a high self-love in him.
Because having self-worth is tantamount to having him respect himself no matter
what decision he makes, he doesn't need to meet any criteria to feel worthy.
The third is self esteem.
Self-esteem is the result of our evaluation of ourselves, this includes our
assessment of something we are good at and something we are not good at. Your self-
esteem can increase if you have a good initial self-worth. There are various ways you
can do to increase your self-esteem level, including stopping comparing yourself to
others, being kind to others, and taking self-care which will be included in our next
discussion.
And the last but not least is self care.
Self care is an action taken by a person to maintain his own health, both
physically and mentally. You can do various activities that you like to maintain your
health.
So, start changing your habit of cursing yourself by loving yourself more, you
can start by applying the four steps above. Be a friend to yourself because a friend is
able to be compassionate and understanding when you are hit by failure in living
processes in life. A friend can easily see your weaknesses but while reminding a
series of your strengths and most importantly, a good friend can not only criticize but
provide support, so that you will become much better.
Question:
What is the role of parents in efforts to increase awareness of children about
the importance of loving yourself?
Answer:
I think the most appropriate way for this is:
Firstly, never compare children with others in terms of physical or skills,
because children will respect themselves more if we as parents respect
themselves because of what they can or have. So don't compare them with
others.
We must always give them support, for example with words like "you did it",
so that they will respect theirself more, and the children will appreciate every
process that they go through, even though the results are not always as what
they expected.
Lastly, if the children are trying to tell something, we must listen to what they
are saying, and we must try to understand it. Because by listening to children
well, children will realize that their thoughts and feelings are valued. They
will feel comfortable with the emotions they feel by talking about them. So
that, they will feel confident to express their own feelings.
That’s all from me. I am sorry for my mistakes. I hope this presentation has
given you a new insight on Selflove. Thanks for your attention. Wassalamualaikum
