You may find it easier to start by being self-compassionate. So often we feel that we need to "earn" love, even from ourselves, but that's a trap. You deserve kindness and care and love just for being. Consider a baby - what can a baby possibly do to earn love? Must they be witty, smart, hard-working, or any of the hundreds of other things you imagine you must be first, in order to deserve love? Of course not! Yet we would all consider babies and small children wholly worthy and lovable. I've found Kristen Neff's writing on self-compassion very clear and accessible and for me has been a great first step on this path. http://self-compassion.org/

You have to begin by accepting and acknowledging your faults and imperfections. This also means having to accept and come to terms with the things you can not change that are part of you. You are who you are and nothing anyone else says can change that, loving yourself means loving all of you from the flaws to your best attributes its saying "This is who I am and I'm not perfect but I accept my humanity, the only person's approval I need on who I am is myself because I know what it feels like and is like to be me"

Do something that. Makes you feel special. For me it might be getting my nails done or something like that. Nothing big but a little thing to feel important.

Loving yourself is a very important thing, that not many of us do but we all should do this. To love yourself, you need to accept who you are. You cant exactly cchange yourself so you have to come to terms with the idea of who you are. You are perfect in your own way.

It's a long road that starts with slowly accepting your flaws, and building the strength of character. Start looking for things you think are positive in yourself and embrace them.
