Unless you are in a dark place of self-loathing (in which case please find a professional counselor to help you work through it), I know that the fastest way to love yourself more is to be in a healthy, happy, love relationship.
I have come across so many people who tell me that they are “working” on loving themselves, and once they do THEN, they will begin dating.”
I believe you can do both at the same time.
The good news is that working on yourself is a great thing and you can find strategies to be more loving and kind and accepting of yourself and you need to know that the critical voice in your head can be lessened but folks, honestly, you’re never going to eliminate it entirely.
Others take charge and go into “make it happen” mode.
Research shows that making goals is useful. People who set goals are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don’t!
