Sometimes in addiction recovery, self love is lacking. We can be merciless on ourselves. Take a quick moment and be gentle with yourself ladle some self-love into your soul. Here's how:
1. Self love is acknowledging and recognizing that you're OK.
2. Self love is trusting your judgment.
3. Self love is seeing yourself as neither better than, nor worse than, others.
4. Self love it is surrounding yourself with friends who care.
5. Self love is talking to yourself in a caring and gentle fashion.
6. Self love is forgiving yourself.
7. Self love is setting limits and sticking to them.
8. Self love is having fun without feeling guilty.
9. Self love is surrounding yourself with people who give you energy, rather than taking away.
10. Self love is developing sound intuition and following it.
That wasn' t too painful was it? Enjoy your journey in addiction recovery.

There are enough people who are willing to beat up on you for your mistakes, so why take their side. It's hard to love and forgive yourself for mistakes, but it's really part of the healing process. The sooner you can love yourself and forgive yourself, the faster you'll begin to heal and recover. Negativity will only bring you down. Be kind to yourself.

Loving yourself is the best way to come out of any depression and make the life more beautiful. One should not loose interest in himself and should have self confidence. I think the best way to love yourself is to note the things people like about you. You should love yourself like a freind and should praise the positive things in you.

The ten statements are very true; love yourself before loving other person. How can you love another person if you don’t know how to love your own self? We should be with the people who are positive with life. Those people who treat you right and not those people who will take advantage of your weakness.
