Journal your response to the negative self talk.

If you’re calling yourself mean names and criticizing yourself, think of examples that prove those things aren’t true. 

What happens when you start loving yourself is it starts to become blindingly clear that this relationship was not right for you.

Learning to love yourself is not easy, especially after a heartbreak, but it’s so rewarding to get to a place where you’re so abundantly in love with yourself.

I love the feeling of completing a task or project that ends up turning out well. Even more than that, I love the praise and acknowledgement that sometimes comes with performing well at work. 

To rebuild self trust after letting yourself down, focus on self discipline, setting stronger boundaries, being honest with yourself in the process, while demonstrating self awareness and positive actions.

To combat my insecurities and the pain they’ve caused, I rely on gentle coping strategies to help me navigate and deal with some of my insecurities. 

Insecurities can come in many different forms, and I want you to be able to recognize and call them out when they pop up.

If you’ve reached a new milestone in your goals, landed a cool opportunity, received recognition for something you did, or any other recent accomplishment, take the time to celebrate that!

Writing letters I’ll never send to someone I have a lot of unresolved feelings with releases pent-up emotions and allows me to see my healing and growth.

If you’re scared of being mean while implementing boundaries, workshop what you want to say, remind yourself of your reasons, and embrace assertiveness when necessary.

When it comes to how to stop loathing yourself, you need to make sure you forgive yourself for the mistakes, embrace your past self because it’s a part of you and trust that you’ve outgrown your past. 

Self love explained simply is an appreciation of who you truly are.

Self love means knowing your worth and value, while treating yourself with kindness and empathy.

Receiving compliments, especially from other women, can do wonders for your self esteem. Lean into compliments and let yourself believe and feel happy when you receive them.

I want to live my life happy most days. I don’t want to have to look forward to the few hours after work every day, and then to the never-long-enough weekend. Because it’s an endless cycle, and I don’t want to spend years like this.

Your growth is a part of your self love journey, and making those past choices you’re not proud of were crucial in shaping the person you are today.
