With self-care.
Some people find it difficult to love themselves, they do not see a lot of bad and nothing good in themselves. So it's not clear what to love yourself for.
If this is your case, then it is better to start not with love, but with care. Your body has probably suffered a lot from dislike: people who don't love themselves often don't take care of themselves, don't follow basic hygiene, don't sleep enough, don't eat well, don't move enough, and overwork. And this lack of care, by the way, gives many reasons to dislike yourself even more: the face and body look bad, feel bad, immunity from lack of sleep and overwork is undermined, and the body often gets sick.
So start by taking care of your body:
Sleep 7-8 hours.
A healthy diet with sufficient nutrients.
Hygiene: washing your face, brushing your teeth, showering, and wearing clean and tidy clothes.�
At least minimal physical activity – regular exercise or walking.
If you regularly take care of yourself, then very soon… well, if you don't love yourself, then at least you'll stop hating yourself so much. This is a well-known psychological effect: we become attached to what we have invested a lot of effort in.
This is just the beginning – there are many reasons for dislike, and they will have to be dealt with separately. But it's a good start 🙂
Realize that there are 7 billion people in the world. Everyone has their own opinion, history, and outlook on life.
Tell yourself, fully aware that you are no worse than others and no better than others. Think about whether there is something perfect in the world? Is there any point in perfectionism? And think about the topic “which is better to fight or love?”. Praise yourself every day. About and without it. Think of unconditional love, unconditional love.
About love by birthright.
You are worthy of love by birthright.
Worthy of love just for being there.❤
Try to stop being a self-terrorist. Namely, fire that moral freak in your head who never forgets:
1) point out your shortcomings to you
2) remember your mistakes
3) tell you that you look absolutely disgusting
4) remind us that any action you take is unlikely to lead to any improvement in the situation
5) maliciously criticize you at the right moment
Instead, hire someone who treats you like a true best friend. Someone who will support you in a difficult situation, and will be sincerely happy for each of your petty success. With such a “person” in your head, it is much more pleasant to live. And then you can think about “accepting yourself”. Good luck)
I will say in advance that this text is only for people with a healthy mind. If you have addictions, depression, high anxiety, increased levels of aggression, etc. – then first you need to deal with this, only then deal with the issue of self-love.
Self-acceptance begins with accepting yourself completely.
That is, first of all, if you don't like your appearance – you should stop being mad about it, it should not irritate you – this is the minimum, and the maximum – you should like it. For example, if you consider yourself uglier than others, you should drop all beauty criteria and stop comparing yourself to anyone at all.�
In order to love yourself in the future, you need to learn to understand and follow your desires and use them to do yourself well. Also, you need to find out why you don't consider yourself a good person, and answer the question – “What prevents me from considering myself a good person?”. This may be due to feelings of shame and guilt for what you once did. This will need to be worked out, because self-love is not when you consider yourself bad.
