- Do you know what it really takes to love yourself? Do you know how to love yourself more?
When we don't love and value ourselves, we make choices based on how we feel about ourselves, and the outcome of low or no self love often contributes to high anxiety, stress, loneliness, depression, unemployment, broken relationships and divorce, as well as alcohol and drug abuse.
It should be easier to love ourselves, but it is actually a life long process for millions of us who grew up feeling alone and unloved, unseen or just ignored, or worse -- hurt and damaged by the adults who were supposed to love and nurture us.
To love ourselves, and/or love ourselves more, we need to understand how our childhood stories affected us, and then we need to implement daily and life long strategies that reinforce and demand self love, in all we do and from the people who surround us.
This episode describes psychological concepts, self love exercise, and practical advice-- based upon years of research, and years of daily work with clients in therapy, as well as through my life and experiences, both personal and professional.

What can you do if you find yourself with strengths that isn't high value in friendships and romantic relationships? Like spatial intelligence and a very logic mind?

Hi,
I have one question. I am well aware that I didn't do anything wrong. But I was blamed by almost everyone even though I don't pay attention to it. They claim they are right even its their fault and they said everything happened because of me. Its not only some new friends its also my own closed circle people. Who's fault is this ? Why I keep on getting this vibe people ? Does anything wrong with me ?
That's a lot to do sunshine.
Good job madam, nice concept
Thank you so much! Hope it was helpful in some way!
Sorry to tell you

What can I do, if I feel that the thing that I am suppose to feel the most love is still not the most love I feel I should be giving and receiving? Like I am stuck at feeling less than I know I can. Its like numbness that I want to remove
@1Freax
I'm going through a similar thing. Been through so much hurt that I realised I don't truly love anyone the way they're worthy of being loved, not even myself. Have compassion for yourself for not being as loving as you want to be. Your state is not fixed. You can grow into a more loving person. I've found that the more deeply i can love my self, the more deeply i can love others. The more kind, patient, caring, loving, and present I am with my self, the more I can be with others.
It's also possible that if you're feeling numbness to love you might also be numbing out negative feelings. Sometimes you have to feel the lowest lows to feel the highest highs. Expanding your capacity to feel one emotion expands your capacity to feel other emotions. You can try crying when you're sad, screaming into a pillow when you're angry, laughing loud and jumping around when you're happy, and expressing love through affection and kindness when you're loving. Don't be afraid to feel your emotions. Don't be aftaid to dive deep and fly high.
Dr. kim Sage funny you

I'm just going to cry for the rest of the day
it is ok to cry
No idea there are attraction in someone some persons like or natures to like their attitude appearance like their eyes , Nose Noses Beautiful things We respect ourselves Then love ourselves 💙 is too deep like a river its too deep more deep than ocean.
Hello, when you say "i dont care who it is" does it includes parents, mom in particilar? Because i am thorn btw she gave me life and should appreciete that and she doesnt love me and have my best interest at heart. How to find peace and balance with that?
Yes it does. I can sort of understand. Fortunately my situation had turned around for the better. In the last I would've thought it never could. Sorry if that's vague.
This situation is definitely hard since it's on a attatchment wound from your inner child.
We have to choose ourselves ar the end of the day and not ask from people that do not care for us as much as we feel they should. It's just torture. Part of letting go will bring the relief/ love we crave and think we need from certain people. It helps to reframe your mindset
this is all so much easier said than done... unfortunately
So true...I think much of what gets in the way is often tied to a lot of the other childhood stuff, long set in motion, and that makes it harder to change, but not impossible! Thank you for sharing and watching.🙏🏻
I don't love my self your the worst advice ever
