If you want this to be your best year, begin by loving yourself, says Jinny Ditzler, author of the book, Your Best Year Yet. Loving yourself allows you to get rid of resentments and regrets," says the author.

 

Accept yourself

 

Self-love increases your ability to extend that love to others. There are several simple ways to get in touch with our inner selves - through good food, meditation, wearing aesthetic clothes, the art of giving, finding our own life purpose etc.

 

The 100 days rule

 

Give yourself a hug. Love yourself and you will find life-long love. Everyone can start loving themselves by doing different things every day in different ways.

 

Say no to grudges

 

Don`t harbour grudges and forgive whenever possible. Travel lightly through life. One must refrain from carrying the excess baggage of grudges. Your frowns, your negative responses, your cynicism, your prejudices, your anger, your lack of generosity, stop you from having peaceful relationships.

 

Follow your bliss

 

Don`t let fear stop you from living your life to the fullest. We are the greatest source of our own suffering and joy. Embrace yourself and your imperfections. Stop being critical. Don`t let life`s ups and downs stop you from enjoying those moments of joy.

 

How to love yourself?

 

Meditate for as little as five minutes a day. It lowers blood pressure, helps your immune system and enables you to deal with life in an effective way. Meditation also strengthens your memory, teaches you not to panic, stops you from aggressive behaviour.
