Personally, I don&#8217;t do anything to love myself, but I like to live loving others instead. Still, I am grateful for myself (my very existence and my value) to the LORD. I am not saying you should think bad of yourself. Just be to make others (and yourself) better in a lasting way. If you live for others, you can be grateful for the life you live for others without necessarily taking time to &#8220;love yourself&#8221;.<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-3647128520\"><div id=\"thefa-1643424377\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Stop procrastinating. It's time to take charge of your life.<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Paula F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">This idea of loving yourself &#8211; what does it actually mean? Perhaps part of learning to love yourself (if that&#8217;s even a thing) is at least not to be overtly cruel to oneself by &#8216;beating oneself up&#8217; with self-berating thoughts. If such should arise, think of a &#8216;counter-thought&#8217;. For example:<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;ve never managed to become an artist, despite all these years of trying&#8221; could be &#8216;reframed&#8217; as &#8220;I have art skills I could use.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tony U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Greatfulness is not synonymous with self-love. You can be grateful for a strangers gesture, that doesn&#8217;t mean you have to love them. But when it comes to yourself it can be harder. Try to imagine something you have that helps others you love. For example, if your body can carry boxes for a friend that&#8217;s about to move somewhere. You can be grateful for things about yourself that helps others. It&#8217;s a start!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mj N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You can actually begin learning to love yourself by being grateful for the little details of you. Start small like this example \u2014 \u2018I\u2019m grateful for my ability to breathe. I\u2019m grateful to have a body &#038; mind that work well (most of the time). I\u2019m grateful that I have my own unique personality &#038; point of view. I\u2019m grateful that I know how to __________\u2026\u2019 etc, etc. <\/p>\n<p>Keep doing this. As time goes on you can add something like \u2018I\u2019m grateful that I can learn to love myself\u2026\u2019 until one day you can say simply, \u2018I\u2019m grateful for loving myself!\u2019<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Paula F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You can be grateful for your physical life and for the time to learn how to love and appreciate things in your life (however difficult it may be); then little by little to learn to appreciate and love yourself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sheri Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">i think that you should motivate yourself. For example, you should stop being too much severe to yourself, talk to you like you would do with a friend. Everyone can do something wrong sometimes, the most important thing is understand our mistakes and try to don&#8217;t do them the next time.<br \/>\nYou should wake up and say: &#8220;today I&#8217;m so beautiful, I can do everything, let&#8217;s start!!&#8221;<br \/>\nYou should be positive to become the best version of yourself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Salina F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Maybe work on that first then? Explore why you blatantly don\u2019t love yourself first. This question sounds like a cry for help (or attention\u2026?). Everyone has something they can appreciate about themselves. Sometimes it helps to take an external view &#8211; what would you say to a friend or loved one in this situation? Now apply that to yourself with loving kindness. If this is not possible for you, consider counselling &#8211; there are many free online services available, and many employers and heath regions offer support services, but you have to be willing to put in the genuine effort. Best wishes! \ud83d\ude4f<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alanta E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Everyone in this world is unique. So you have to accept it. Everyone has their own charm . You have to realize that if you don&#8217;t love yourself no one will . So start accept yourself  then you will later be grateful to yourself<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ryan Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You can practice gratitude for the simple fact that you exist, that you have a mind, a life, and are able to interact with the world around you. Also, recognizing that you are worthy, simply because you exist, and that there is nothing that needs to actually be proven to anybody, especially yourself, may help lead to the spark of learning to love who you are.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Toni G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Think of one thing about your body or mind that you like or appreciate. If you can\u2019t love all of yourself right now, love part of yourself. I know you have something wonderful to give to the world. Don\u2019t give up. You may have heard &#8211; love yourself because you can\u2019t count on others to love you. That\u2019s not true. You can count on me. I love you \u2764\ufe0f<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emilio U. You don&#8217;t have to &#8220;love&#8221; yourself to be grateful for yourself.
