Tape the list onto the mirror at eye level but just off to the side of your sight.
While looking into the mirror, recite these words:
I am beautiful.
I am strong.
I am amazing.
Nobody can take that from me and here's why:
(name the 10 things)
I can do this, no matter how steep the climb nor how high the mountain!"

Do that 4 times a day the first 2 weeks.
3 times a day the next week.
2 times a day the next week.
1 time a day the next week.
Then just when you feel yourself getting down on yourself. (Do that the rest of the weeks too).

You will feel weird doing that at first, but it will help a lot.

You can do this!
I believe in you!

Thanks. This may sound ungrateful (I'm not intending it to be) but I've done somehing similar already. It worked somewhat (or so I thought) until it didn't. I think first we need to recogise where we are at and accept that and then change comes if it's the right time. We cannot force it.
This is why I'm usually relucant of giving pure advice. I think being with the pain and validating the person is more important in most cases. When you cannot move you cannot move. If there is someone supportive with you though, that might actually help to seek out change.
But some people might just want pure advice, I don't know.
