Oscar Wilde said: “Loving yourself is the beginning of an adventure that lasts a lifetime” and his phrase makes us reflect on how important it is to take care of our self-love and how little we know how to manifest it. Because when we want to express to someone that we love them, we do it without hesitation, considering, perhaps, their tastes, hobbies or the words that will make them feel loved, but do we ourselves know how to say “I love you”?
For a long time, we have heard or read that, for example, prioritizing our mental and emotional health are signs of self-love and it is the same specialists who recommend a series of habits and actions for us to start our own romance. One of those activities can be paying attention to everything we consume both on social networks and on television. It is for this reason that today we wanted to give you some recommendations for the movies that, in addition to entertaining us, give us little tips or teachings on self-love.
1. girl
This film based on real events tells the story of Lara, a teenage girl who was born with the body of a boy. Because her physique does not correspond to her orientation and mental convictions, it is not easy to assume her nature, so she struggles to overcome all obstacles.
This movie is ideal to remember that what others think is not important and that there are no limits to achieve our goals.
2. how to be single
This comedy is based on a book by author Liz Tuccillo, and although the movie doesn’t exactly portray what we read in the book, there are important details that talk about how to live single without suffering or dying trying.
And it is that despite the fact that many people have the goal of life to find their “ideal partner” and, like a Disney story, “live happily ever after”, the reality is very different, so this film makes it very clear that being single can be a lot of fun.
3. Eat Pray Love
One of the favourites! This film is also based on a book, one of the best-selling works by the writer Elizabeth Gilbert, and along with Julia Roberts, she tells us the anecdote of having everything you can dream of, like a house, a solid marriage, a successful career. professional, but with the small detail of not being happy!
Asking yourself if what we are doing and where we are makes us happy is one of the things that scares us the most and leaving our comfort zone is for the brave. This movie teaches us that seeking to be well with ourselves is necessary to create good relationships with others.
4. Single coveted
This Peruvian film shows us the story of a girl who breaks up with her boyfriend after six years of relationship, so she has to deal with a broken heart that doesn’t seem to heal with anything. For this, she has the support of her best friends.
Also, as a kind of escape valve, she uses her blog to write about all the ups and downs of being single. With this tape, we will be able to understand that the best is always yet to come.
5. 28 days
As we mentioned before, healing is also part of self-love and this film shows us the story of a woman who is forced to recover from her addictions, in addition to taking care of her emotional life and relationships. A production that will undoubtedly make us reflect on how we see love.
6. fashion intern
In this film we see the incomparable Robert De Niro playing a retired man with no knowledge of fashion who decides to embark on a new adventure by going to work at a renowned clothing store. on-line.
This story makes us understand that there is no age to start something new and invites us to follow our dreams, but, above all, to trust ourselves.
7. challenge on the waves
Speaking of dreams, this movie tells the story of a young Hawaiian woman who returns to competitive surfing after losing her left arm when attacked by a shark. If it is about overcoming fears and obstacles, this tape is a worthy example.
8. Single
One of the best Mexican productions and with a good sense of humor tells the story of Ana, a girl who, after breaking up with her boyfriend and being single, sets out to find a new boyfriend to later get engaged.
To achieve this, she enrolls in a course that will help her achieve her purpose, although at the end of the journey she realizes that “meeting expectations” is not her thing.
9. Under the Tuscan Sun
Surely, going through a divorce is not easy, so the protagonist of this story teaches us that when life moves us from the place it is because we must change.
That is why after traveling to Tuscany, he decides to buy a villa and start a new life. It is there that she will understand that love goes beyond the couple, since friends, family and oneself are the most important reasons to believe in love.
10. He do not like you to much
Maybe this tape will make us break many patterns that we have when we meet someone. And it is that this production shows us the times that we have waited for a WhatsApp from the person we like and that never arrives or the times that we have stopped being ourselves to please the couple. Has it happened to you? Well, this movie with a touch of comedy will make us open our eyes.
eleven. I am not crazy
Without a doubt, this Chilean production is one of the best, because after hitting bottom after several unfortunate events, the protagonist is forced to receive psychiatric treatment and that is where she demystifies mental health and finds a group of friends who will help her heal.
12. Unfiltered
Although this film has its Mexican version, the original is Chilean and we love it. It stars Paz Bascuñán, the same actress who gives life to the protagonist of I am not crazy.
In this tape, we see how much of her life has been silent and over time that silence is damaging her. So one fine day she decides not to shut up anymore and she shows us that “we don’t look prettier if we keep quiet.”

In fact, his skills are such that he gets the job done that many couldn’t or wouldn’t. This movie may make us understand that we have many abilities and that we should not let them tell us the story that we cannot achieve something.
14. dumplin’
The girl who stars in this story does not fit the stereotypes of beauty pageants, but carries a family “load” because her mother was a beauty queen and representative of the region. However, this young woman will teach her mother a great lesson when she shows her that she is beautiful just the way she is.
