Everyone struggles with loving themselves before loving others. It’s something everyone goes through, so no one should feel alone when it comes to something like this. Here are some tips that will help those struggling to love themselves.

1. Know your self worth

You should know how much you matter. Always remind yourself that you are important. Do not let anyone put you down. Keep in mind that no one should treat you badly no matter what. Be independent and do not depend on others for your happiness. Hype yourself up and tell yourself that you’re unique and there is no one else in this world that is like you.

2. Treat yourself

Do things for yourself. Spend the day enjoying yourself. There are so many things you can do to spoil yourself. Go out to eat by yourself, have a spa day to relax, and buy yourself little things that matter to you. Go out and have some fun by yourself, you don’t need others to make your day.

3. Don’t listen to what others say about you

Many people will try to put you down, all you have to do is ignore them. Consider people talking about you a good thing because that means those people have space in their minds to think about you and have the time to mention you to others when they could be doing other things.

4. Be positive towards yourself and others

Don’t ever compare yourself to others. Surround yourself with people who are positive towards you and others; negative people will not do you any good whatsoever. Try to always be in a good mood and do not let anyone ruin that for you.

5. Focus on yourself

Do not waste your time worrying about what others might think of you. Take time to make yourself your only priority. There is no need to please others when you’re trying to focus on yourself. Don’t worry about boys that you think are cute or girls who are speaking negatively about you, concentrate on yourself and only yourself. You do not have the time to fret about others.
