Why You Don't Love Yourself

WHY YOU DON'T LOVE YOURSELF // HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF

There are messages all over social media telling you that you just need to start loving yourself - so why aren't you doing it?
Well, I'll tell you why. Because it's not as simple as just deciding one day that you're going to love yourself, and then poof! you do.
There are good reasons you don't love yourself, and many of them include little things you are unconsciously and unintentionally doing, or not doing, everyday that are making it so you can't like yourself let alone love yourself.
So today I'm going to teach you how to actually love yourself more using intentional and specific things that you can start doing right away to build that relationship with yourself. So that you can build that sense of self-love and self-acceptance and even just liking yourself because it takes time, it takes intention and it takes effort.

Take a moment and give yourself a GOOD FOR ME for getting through hard things in your life.

It's so hard to love yourself when you have internalized verbal abuse. Thank you so much for this!

self hate was born when our caregivers shamed us for being a certain way, and so we pushed that aspect away from us to be safe.

*_Happiness is hard work tbh. It takes awareness, dedication, and cultivation_*

[mskinner]

if I catch myself being verbally harsh to my self, I always say " BE GENTLE WITH YOUR SELF" you can immediately feel a sense of relief after saying these words.

“Happiness is not a destination, it’s a decision” WOW, I like that 💙

Good For Me!! Since my 20's I decided to eat healthy, exercise and take care of myself mentally when my Dad passed at 42 from cancer. My goal was to live longer than he lived. I achieved that and I blame it on my strict regiment of eating clean and clean living. Four yrs ago 1 was diagnosed with Crohns Disease at 44 and I was devastated always say, why me. I've always taken care of my health, until now never got sick. I went through hell the first two years of my diagnosis. In two months I went fron 118lbs to 98lbs which ended up in the hospital for a week. I had to quit my job and I went home with a pic line in my chest that I had for 8 weeks. Was on ever drug imaginable. Had to basically learn how to walk again from lossing all my muscle tone. I have been in remission for the past 2 years. I gained all my weight back, I run every day and got my job and life back. Thank you making me see how far I have come and I should be proud of what I have overcome instead of being so hard on my myself for getting such a horrible disease. 💓

My mom always says it is not easy to love yourself! Most of the time we depend on other people to love ourselves. I will try to treat myself nicely!

I love what you said about how someone with the same "flaw " that you are beating yourself up about is out there feeling good about themselves. So true.

Julia please do a video about how to start feeling your emotions again after a neglect in childhood. This topic is important and i value your word. Thanks for this video!

[veronicabruce]

Enjoying my own company and realizing I'm a Loving, creative, compassionate human.
Great Strategies. It's true! It's not just a walk in the park.

"Happiness is a decision, not a destination." Thank you, I needed to hear that.

[mikailyusufcelik]

Proud of how I'm handling things I thought I was never able to handle x

[MoetCristal]

I have the hardest time CONNECTING to my good strengths, talents, skills. Etc.

[samanthamorrison]

I think that I have started feeling and believing that I am unloveable, unworthy, not good enough and I always want others to love me because I can't feel the love that I have for myself. I think I don't even love myself or hate myself sometimes. It's difficult to start loving yourself again after so much trauma and neglect that made you feel that you are not lovable..

[لمىالشريف-غك]

Thank you Julia! 💝💝
I think I'm going to talk more positively about myself.
My strengths, how far I've come and how much I've grown.
And be kind to myself, like the people I love and respect are to me.

Hey! My name is Joshua Heilpern and ive been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now. I cried through this video. I want to say thank you, youre making a grand impact.

When I look in the mirror, I recognize who is standing in front of me. But I don’t know who it is.

Sorta feels like I’m not the person in the mirror.

It’s like walking up to someone you recognize, but the both of you never had any type of relationship with each other and you both stare back at one another in silence.

I am very very very depressed but watching this has helped me greatly for I am a registered nurse and at the same time 30 years ago I was sleeping on the streets of San Francisco addicted to drugs and alcohol so yes I have, very very very far away
