What are ways to love yourself or just simply be comfortable with yourself?

I also listen to a song by TLC called unpretty and that helps as well

I love myself by telling myself that I am beautiful. I don’t brag it to anyone though. Whenever find a mirror or a reflection, I just keep staring at myself and smile. Become a high level narcissist.

If you’re up to it, write down all of the things about yourself you don’t like. Go deep down. Than rip it up into millions of peices, burn it, or find some other way to get rid of it. Write down all of the things you love about yourself, and hang it up somewhere you pass by often. Once in a while read it <3

I was having this problem for a long time. Honestly some days are just going to be those days that nothing can fix. But when you do have the spirits to change your attitudes, I would suggest for you to go shopping for clothes that you like, alone, just by yourself try different clothes on, see what makes you cute, take pictures & appriciate yourself. Or you can do something that your good on, then analize it & realize why it is that your perfect the way you are. If you want something simple, & this is what worked for me, I simply wrote ‘love yourself’ on my wrist, is what helped me remind me, whenever I had a bad tought, I looked at my wrist, took some breaths & I loved myself. I also plan on getting that tatto on me because it got me trough so much, & it helped me stop my cutting problem slowly. If not, try going out with friends, friends sometimes made me feel better, I was with them & while I was I felt like I belonged, Like I was something. That I was not all those bad thoughts in my head. Doing your make up, making yourself all girly and chic will always kinda bust your personality :). Then theres the things like wrighting all the good this about you, talking to someone, or switching rooms so maybe your energy around you changes. But that dosen’t really work for me, but it might for you.

Easy way to do: Just listen to your heart because it never goes wrong. Listen to it’s advices and prohibitions and start acting on it. If there’s something that your heart doesn’t wanna do, don’t unintentionally perform the thing because the act your gonna do, won’t do by all your inner permissions. I bet you’ll start feeling good and would really love your face when you stand before the mirror.

Looking in the mirror and reinforcing your own validation is an important part. To love yourself, the real work starts from the inside working out. Learn who the person is inside both good qualities and not so good, faults. Nobody’s perfect and you don’t have to beat yourself up…your in the role of the observer not the judge. Then believe the good qualities are who you were really intended to be.
The faults are your destiny’s challenges (the mental excercises that build up self confidence) Faults or negative aspects of self, actually do have an emotional weight to them, the more you work on them the lighter they become and the more of the beauty that is you, you begin to see. Don’t expect to overcome everything negative….as we’re always a work in process…in some things just being aware is enough to minimize it. Sorrounding yourself with friends that believe in you is also very important in the moral support they bring. They validate and bring out the best in who you are. If your doing the work…. the person in the mirror is someone you will look at and honestly feel it’s someone you really like seeing there.

Be yourself

That’s not good advice, I hate being myself.

Look in the mirror, tell yourself you’re beautiful (or handsome, for guys! ^.^) every day and find something that you like about yourself instead of concentrationg on ‘bad’ things. It could even be a cute flaw you like about yourself like a birthmark or a freckle…Eventually though, you’ll start beleiving it and going out knowing that you’re gorgeous! And when people give you compliments…say thanks and compliment them! Don’t diss yourself! I hate it when people do that -.- Anywayss, love yourself, it’ll make it easier for other people to love you too!:P

Kayle, the “self” toward which you have unloving and uncomfortable feelings is not who you really are; it is a particular mental construct of yourself, a self-image. You can take a big step toward feeling better about yourself by starting to get to know yourself more directly. One good way to do this is to take some time to simply sit by yourself in quiet meditation.

Meditation doesn’t mean a certain kind of thinking. It has more to do with stepping back from the seemingly endless flow of your thoughts, ceasing to identify with them as though they define you, and seeing them as just thoughts that pass through your mind, coming and going on their own, like clouds in the sky or birds perching outside your window.

The effect is that with time you will no long identify so much with your self-critical thoughts or feelings, and you will develop a deeper sense of who you are “behind” that mental thought-screen, in the stillness of your soul, your innermost being. That is where you will find the Kayla who is not only inherently loveable, but whose loving compassion toward all who suffer as you do extends also to yourself.
