You must love yourself if you want to be happy. And this requires a little effort. But it will definitely pay off to you a hundredfold since self-love - which is distinct from selfishness - is the basis for everything. Here are five crucial actions you may take to love yourself and find happiness.
1. Confess your love to yourself
You yourself must understand your value, uniqueness, and originality. Without accepting and realizing yourself as such a person, you will not become such for anyone. You will definitely not be able to find happiness because you will be insecure. So take a look at yourself in the mirror and be kind to yourself.

2. Ignore the opinions of others
You have your own point of view on any issue, and it's okay if it doesn't agree with someone else's opinion. How you dress, how you behave, what you say, and how you live should not bother other people. This is only your own business. This is not about not listening to the opinions of others, but about the fact that in any case - whether you accept advice from the outside or not - you still make a choice.
3. Start changing your life for the better
Very often, people are made unhappy by things that exist only in their heads. They accumulate and are then done through force or never at all. This is a heavy burden, so real action is needed. Write down everything you have to do and solve all the issues in small steps. Remember, new actions bring new results. Clear your life of what is taking your energy and move towards your dreams.
4. Be grateful
Gratitude has healing and magical powers. And this applies not only to those around you but also to yourself. Be grateful to yourself for the kind of person you are now, for the experience, for the opportunities. It is within your power to change something in your life, however, you must express gratitude for what you already have.

5. Do what you love
It’s hard to feel happy when you’re doing something that you don’t like, which isn’t very pleasant. We are at work the majority of the time, so it is vitally important to find a job that will bring joy. This will make your work easier, the results will be more effective, and you will feel like a happy person.
