How can I take steps to start loving myself again?

Go back to the times when you were happy. Talk to the people who made you happy and loved. Do things that you have always wanted...spend a little. Give yourself a gift. Help someone in need. Loving life itself will help you regain the love you had for yourself.

First you need to think about your past, forgive your mistakes and then start a new. Start doing good things. But most importantly do not beat yourself things happen we can't control them but we can love our self

You need to start off small. Begin with listing things you like about yourself and then taking the time to tell yourself that. Focus on the positives and ignore the negatives. Gradually, you'll see yourself adding more to the list. Eventually, you'll be ready for further steps to loving yourself.

There are fifteen steps....it might be tough but you have to push yourself through it. From the first to the fourteenth step all you gotta ask yourself why not love yourself? And now you have 14 reasons...On the fifteenth step work all those out.

Make a list of your good traits and skills. Make a list with your achievements. Make a list with your dreams. Start a self-care schedule, exercising, making a healthy diet, reading a new book, trying meditation and relaxation methods. Do things you love

First you have to backtrack a bit and figure out when you lost the feeling of loving yourself. Pinpoint what caused that and try to change things from there, whether is going back to what you were doing that made you happy or finding new things that will make you happy. Sometimes going a little back can push you forward a lot further.

Focus on your health and put yourself before others ...do things that make you happy and ignore the negativity around you ..treat yourself like a kind/queen cause you deserve it

What a great question! First of all, I'm sorry that you have been feeling like you don't love yourself, but you did say "again", so that's great because you have some hope!! In my experience, I started with writing out things that I did like about myself. I wrote down another list of things that I didn't like about myself and then how I could change those things. I worked on the things I didn't like about myself. In time, I could turn that negative feeling about myself and put it on my positive list and watch my progress. I always referred to my positive list to keep myself motivated, having hope and seeing that I was making progress. I didn't rely on the words of people or their opinions of me anymore because I not only knew what was good about me, I was proud of the things that I had overcome. I got the feeling of empowerment and my confidence returned.

Self-compassion is so important! I think it might be helpful to remind yourself to treat yourself and talk to yourself like a friend. Because we usually treat our friends better than we do ourselves! But some other tangible steps to love yourself could be writing down a list of the things you do like about yourself or good things you've done. This is helpful to look at when you notice yourself being critical. You could also try a gratitude journal to write things you are thankful about. And you should also look into loving-kindness meditations! Apparently thinking positively of others helps us be nicer to ourselves.

It's not something anyone can really help you with unless you take the initiative to do it yourself, there aren't certain steps either, we're all different from each other and each one of us use different ways to cope with this, you have to accept yourself for the way you are, and trust me I know it's easier said than done, it takes time and effort, but the sooner you start to do it the better. I have personal experience with this, I've been bullied by those closest to me, it broke me down, because it's not the actions of our enemies that hurt us, but the words of our friends.
