How do we love ourselves? By forcing it, at first. By faking it, if necessary. By "acting as if". By working as hard at loving and liking ourselves as we have at not liking who we are.
Self-care isn't selfish; it's an important step in building self-esteem.
Let someone listen to you, support and encourage you when you need that. Receive comfort and allow yourself to be supported emotionally and cared about.
Recovery is not solely about stopping the pain. Recovery is also about learning to make yourself feel better. Recovery is eventually about making yourself feel good. Enjoy your day.
We can learn to take of ourselves while forming relationships. We can learn to go slowly. We can allow ourselves to make mistakes, even when we know better.
Promise Yourself
Promise yourself to be strong
That nothing can disturb your peace of mind,
To talk health, happiness and prosperity
To every person you meet,
To make all your friends
Feel that there is something in them.
To look at the bright side of everything
To make your optimism come true
And think only the best,
To work only for the best, and
To expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about
The success of others
As you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past
And press on to the greater achievements
of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times.
And give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
That you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry,
Too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
And too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
