I know many of us struggle with loving ourselves.

Can anyone put forward any tips that they find helpful?

How do we be confident in ourselves as we are?

[Fuzzybear]

I struggle with this too

Thank you dear person for starting this thread

I appreciate you and all you share

Maybe self love might start with self respect.. I’m not sure..

And separation of “stuff” - the words of abusers or those who are misguided or misinformed about us don’t hold value..

We are valuable and loveable as is

With kindness and respect to you

And to all here

We are able to love ourselves, it is the lack of love from others that brings us down.

Constant attacks from those who judge.... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hi Thirty shades and all reading,
I liked your question and thought I would share my experience on this topic. I hope it helps!

Self love in its truest form is a thought. It is a idea that once we have it we will be happier in our own skin. I say it’s a thought because if you think about it, if you think and believe that you are worthy, special, and perfect the way you are, then it becomes true for you. But if you think you are not worthy, unspecial, and imperfect then that becomes true as well.
So the trick to manifesting tour own self love is to think you are self loving more then you are not!

Sounds simple, I know, but when you do get it,it will seem even simpler. It just takes a little work on each persons part to make it a reality. Things like self analysis ( looking at ones life and observing how the things they do affect them), affirmations ( repeatition of thoughts), meditation, mindfulness, or doing a activity that brings joy and passion to ones life repeatedly are all things that can help jumpstart the self love train!

I want to finish by saying I liked tour question because I feel self love is very important. It was one of the first thought, belief, and knowings I attained in my personal transformation. To me it is the glue that holds everything together in the good and the bad. No time is ever wasted on the pursuit of attaining this gift.

P.s. As for the people who bring you down out there. If someone gives you a gift, and you do not accept that gift, then who does the gift belong to?
Often people who say mean things are just transferring their own insecurities. Because let’s face it, in order for people to recognize and say something, they have to had been thinking about it first!

All the best!
