gma, my sponsor in AA suggested i do this in early recovery. she wanted me to look in the mirror in the morn every day and say, "i love you". well i thought it a bit unuseful and kinda stupid. i did it however and one day when i said, i love you. i broke out into a grin cause i learned that i meant it!!! oh happy day!!! 
i had learned to love myself. you may find this to be helpful too.
