Video Summary:
Everyone dislikes some things about themselves, but hopefully not everything. Learning to love yourself is so much more empowering than micro-analyzing your flaws through a magnifying glass. Every flaw presents you with a choice: you can try to change it, or accept it as part of you. That doesn't mean that you should use character flaws as excuses not to grow, however.

Learning to tell yourself at close range that you love and accept yourself just the way you are can help you see how unnecessarily critical you've been of yourself. You're so much more than a handful of flaws. Zoom your lens out to see yourself in a more accurate perspective.

Self-acceptance and self-improvement are not opposing forces. Ideally, learn to love who you are right now, and then from that amazing position, work to improve yourself.

Only from a position of loving yourself can you contribute your talents to the world. When you're happy from the inside out, you exude happiness and can better design your life.

One major tip: Stop taking life seriously. Stop taking yourself so seriosly. Stop taking other people so seriously. Stop taking pressuring media so seriously.

This video really makes me cry. I am so hard on myself. I have to take things more easier.

[nqzolnu]

If you do not love yourself yourself you will seek the love and acceptance of others unconsciously and no one will love or accept you nor you will love or accept others.

How I learned to love myself and gain confidence:

- made every day a list of 3 positive things I had done that day
- at the end of the week I analysed what those things told about me

For example: I borrowed a charger from a friend and returned it the next day after using it - I am reliable, think about you, return borrowed stuff . Not everyone does this.

I hope this is helpfull

Wake up in the morning and saw someone attractive, beautiful, funny and cute.. Fell in love with her... Suddenly found out it was myself in the mirror. <3

"I love and accept you exactly as you are"

[PublicDefense]

When he's listing "maybe it's looks. Maybe it's physique. Maybe it's how you act. Maybe it's where you're at in your career." I'm like "check, check, check, check, and check." Lmao 😂

[mingakinsgibayuxds]

“You are all you got”

😢 that got me! I never appreciate myself, I always put myself down!

[pxppgfd]

“I love and accept you, exactly as you are.”

[veronicajimenez]

This made me cry and laugh like a psycho all alone at my apartment...It was amazing. Thank you for your videos. I'm having a time alone where I had to pass through a lot of issues with myself and today I finally felt this internal warmth of love that I never felt before.

"I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!"

[LisaLenthe]

I just did that exercise you talked about in this video.
At first I thought: ‘I ain’t going to do this.’ because I felt really uncomfortable looking at myself in the mirror and confront myself with what I see. But I did it anyways. I thought: ‘if not now, then when?’

Beside the point but: I might be dealing with some major mental health issues and, yes, I’m getting professional help, but why should I wait for that to work (because I only started recently.)

So, I walked into my bathroom, got as close as I could and said “I love and accept you exactly as you are.” as many times as I feel liked I needed it. At first it didn’t do anything to me, my mind kept thinking: ‘yeah, right girl...YA WISH!’
But as I kept going, and I was really close to tears, I looked myself deeply in my eyes and kept continuing to say that phrase, even though my mind kept thinking about how miserable my life is and how bad I suck. I kept saying it.

I still don’t believe it now, but I did something that I first that I couldn’t do because it felt so uncomfortable.
It still feels uncomfortable, but I did it anyways and I feel kinda proud of that.

Just wanted to share that

[DLLGbr]

You have no idea how much this helped me, I was really needing this, thank you.

[nancybu]

The more i look at you, the cuter you look. for me, there is nothing more attractive than an intriguing mind and sparkling eyes and a kind heart.

[idan]

About the paradox, i think you must accept yourself in order to change, because when you accept yourself as you are, every aspect in your life will begin to iprove, and that's a development by itself

[royojisan]

thanks man, this video helped a lot now. I don't feel like suicide is the way anymore.

[sharonborgeson]

I remember the first time I looked in the mirror and told myself “I love you, Sharon”, I busted out crying and I couldn’t stop for the longest time because I realized that I had been with holding love from myself, and I had rejected ME, I had rejected me in every way. How sad is that? I have come so far and grown so much since then, but I’ll never forget that time.

[saxongreen]

Some of the loveliest, gentlest and most effective people in the world don't actually love themselves. If your videos can get the ball rolling on this for even a few of those people, then that's a priceless gift.

*EXCEPT YOURSELF, LOVE YOURSELF, EXCEPT YOURSELF*

[mollie]

As I looked in the mirror and kept on telling myself those words, I noticed things about my own face that I had never noticed before. I went in with an un-biased perspective and without even trying, that perspective actually turned into a positive one. It was like seeing myself through a pair of eyes that accepted me, and now I've finally realized that those eyes are my own. Thank you for this wonderful video!!
