10 Simple Ways to Start Loving Yourself Again

1. Start getting away from those who are negative and take you down.

Everyone wants to have that special someone in their life. They want someone who is going to be there for them always and who will love them no matter what. The problem is that many people want this so bad that they stay with someone who is not right for them. They stay with someone who gives them only partially what they need, while that person brings them down the rest of the time. Sometimes it is best to be out of a relationship than to be without someone who is negative, and that brings you down.

It is important that you aren’t worried about people in your life who don’t worry much about you. You deserve the best, and you must remind yourself this, especially when you are on the path to self-love. When you are giving your time to someone who doesn’t even respect you, you are losing a part of yourself. Sometimes you lose so much that there is nothing truly left. You should have friends and other people in your life that respect, inspire, care about, and motivate you in all of your wants and needs. The people in your life should support you in all that you do. Sometimes this may mean that you don’t have a lot of people in your life. However, it is best to have a few people who truly support and care about you, then a bunch of people that don’t care as much.

2. Start telling yourself all of the things that you like about yourself.

Some people will tell you to list all the things that you love about yourself. The problem with this is that when you are on the journey to self-love, there may not be much that you love about yourself right now. You should start by telling yourself all the things that you like about yourself or even things that you used to like about yourself. If you have had people in your life that have drained you out, you may not have much that you like about yourself at this moment, but you might be able to remember things you used to like about yourself. These are things that you will be aiming for from this point forward.

Once you have a list of things that you like about yourself, you can start feeling better about your life and who you are. You can start making a plan for loving yourself again. Remember, to see the beauty in every part of yourself - from your body image to your beautiful mind.

3. Start showing gratitude for the things and the people you do have in your life.

If you are going to proceed into the journey of loving yourself and becoming more confident, you are going to need to show gratitude every day. It might be helpful to make a list of the things and the people that you have in your life right now that you are thankful for. Do you have a great job? Is your health good? Do you have children, friends, or other family members that love you for who you are? If so, start showing gratitude today. If you show more gratitude for the great things in your life, you can see that life is more than it seems at times. Life has your back; you just have to love yourself and go for what you deserve.

Life really is about how you see things. If you see things from a gratitude point-of-view, you will see life in a much more positive way. You will even start seeing yourself in a more positive light.

4. Begin making changes that must be made in your life.

Now that you are trying to love yourself again, you know there are things in your life that need to be changed. Maybe you were happy with something in your life before, but now you know that your life needs to head down a different path. This is okay - it is normal. If there are changes that you want in your life - changes that help you to build your confidence and that help you to start loving yourself again - make a plan to start making them today.

5. Start letting yourself explore new ways to live your life.

Do you want to start changing your body image to a more positive view? Do you want to start loving yourself fully? If so, you must allow yourself to start exploring new ways to live your life. For instance, you may have avoided being yourself because someone you were with didn’t want you to do certain things. It may be time to let go of that relationship and move forward with your life. Maybe you have stopped taking part in activities that you used to love. If so, it might be time to pick some of those back up again.

6. Start doing at least one thing that puts a smile on your face every single day.

Do you want to start loving yourself again? If so, you must start realizing that you can make yourself happy. So many people look to others in their life for the happiness that they need in life. However, when you start to realize that you can’t rely on others for your happiness, you will start to get it on your own. Choose at least one thing that puts a smile on your face every single day and just do it.

Maybe you find that blaring a song that you love in your living room makes you smile. If so, just do it. You might find that calling your mother or father to talk to them once a day makes you happy. If this is the case, pick up the phone and make that call. Maybe you would be smiling more if you were to put make-up on and dress in nice clothes. If this makes you smile and increases your confidence, do it regularly.

Start doing things every day that amplify the love that you have for yourself. In time, you will find that there are many things you can do that put a smile on your face and make you start loving yourself again.
