14 Things You Can Do To Start Loving Yourself Again

From a horrible break up to a disastrous result to being disappointed in one’s own self to simply not feeling fine, we all have been there and done our fair share of hating ourselves.

Sometimes we just need a little reminder that even if we dont have anybody in the world beside us, we’ll always have ourselves!

Here are a few small things you can do to love yourself again.

1. Accept what you’re feeling

No matter what it is, be honest. It really helps you to deal with whatever is going on.

Be it long or short, alone or with people, to an unknown place or a known one, you need to get out of your comfort zone to make peace with the uncomfortable.

 

3. Read a book

It not only takes your mind off of what’s bothering you, but also makes you feel good about yourself. And as people say, fake it till you make it!

 

6. Start a journal or a diary

And put a new poster or picture or lamp, take your pick. New makeover for room = new makeover for your mood.

Or pamper yourself in some other way. Treat yourself like your crush!

 

13. Do something for free for someone

Give your seat to an elderly, or carry your next door neighbour’s grocery bag. Do something without an expectation. Nothing makes one feel instantly better about himself/herself!

 

14. Call up your grandparents

Or give them a surprise visit. The excitement in their voice or the look on their face is totally worth the ‘trouble’!

Because you are the best! 🙂
