“It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self-love deficit.”

Eartha Kitt was preaching when she shared that advice. With that being said, it’s time to stop looking to find your other half and start ensuring that you’re whole. Your future relationships will thank you later.

Give Yourself The Love You’ve Been Dreaming Of Receiving

All those things on your “What the man of my dreams would do for me list”? Do them for yourself. If you wait for a man to make you happy, you run the risk of not feeling content until you find one.

Smile More

However, don’t do it just because someone (a creepy guy on the street) tells you to. Everyone knows that you smile when you’re happy. But did you know that simply smiling can make you happy?

Give More Love

The more love you share, the more love comes back to you. Do favors without expecting anything in return and you’ll be rewarded when you least expect it.

Open Your Heart

Even if someone has hurt you before. A closed heart may block out pain, but it can also block out good love.

Appreciate Yourself

It’s easy to forget how worthy you are. Write down what you have to offer, and then reread it every day as a reminder!
