Love yourself
You must always love yourself first before you can expect other people to love and adore you. Other people learn how to love and treat you based on how you love and treat yourself. Imagine a close friend who has been through what you have been through… imagine he/she is trying to embrace change and become a better person… would you be as hard on him/her as you are on yourself? Does someone else deserve more compassion than you give yourself? Be kind to yourself… be patient.. and show self-compassion. Change is often diffucult but it is easier when you feel safe and loved. Give that to yourself. Make a positive commitment to yourself, to learning, to our planet earth (your home), to your family, your friends, to growing, and worthwhile causes that speak to your heart. Praise yourself as much as you praise others. Admire your own accomplishments. Forgive yourself for past mistakes and believe in your own worth. When you start to feel confident about yourself, positive thoughts will begin to flow naturally through your mind.
