When going through a divorce, rediscovering self-love is one of the most vital parts of healing the healing process. What’s more, loving oneself is the first thing you need to do to attract new love into your life.

The need to find love within yourself might sound a little cliché but here are the reasons why it’s so important. When we love ourselves, we come from a place of not needing love from anyone else. We fill up that lingering hole within ourselves and then we come from a place of choosing to be with someone rather than needing that someone. This is far more empowering, attractive, and benefits your significant other as much as it does you. There’s now less pressure on them and your fledgeling relationship will be on a stronger foundation. Loving ourselves puts us in the perfect place to attract and meet the right person rather than settling for way less than we deserve.

Here are three things that miraculously start to happen when we practice self-love:

The underlying fear for most people is that if they’re not enough, then they won’t be loved. When you can find that love in yourself, you’re well on your way to overcoming your fear of not being enough.

When you love yourself, you’ll have a much more attractive energy. People are attracted to those that have confidence in themselves and, on an energetic level, loving ourselves gives us an intangible, magnetic glow and an aura that can be captivating.

When you love and accept yourself, everything in your life starts to work and flow – It’s almost like magic. This is all down to the fact that when we love ourselves, we know we deserve the best that life has to offer. We stop getting in our own way and clear space in our lives for good things to flow to us.
