21 Things You Can Do To Help You Love Yourself
Be Light Living

Sometimes the hardest person to love is yourself.

As a kid, you think that you're great. You are happy with the life you are living and the person you are. You wonder, what is wrong with other people, when they don’t want to be your friend because you're amazing.

Then you get older, and you start wondering why people like you at all.

It gets harder to love yourself when you want to be better and are unhappy with where you are.

Even when we want to improve we have to work on loving and taking care of ourselves.

It is important to be able to look at yourself and LOVE what you see.

Take time out of life to reflect and remind yourself just how special you are.

Here are 21 things you can do to help you love yourself when you forget how:

1. Take A Breath

2. Cultivate A Morning Routine

3. Write

4. Laugh

5. Evaluate Your Eating Habits

6. Take A Walk

7. Sit In Silence

8. Tell Yourself Something You Like About Yourself

9. Do Something That Scares You

10. Have Dinner For One

11. Spend The Day Doing Something You Love

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate.
