How to love and accept yourself

“It’s funny— it took almost 30 years for me to realize how much I didn’t love myself. To me — it just seemed like I was unloveable.”- SS

I’ve had one shitty relationship after the next and I began wondering what I was doing wrong? Why was I attracting people who made me feel, well, like shit? Why was I always the problem? (And not just with my romantic relationships) So, I tried to change myself. I did whatever I thought needed to be done to be accepted by other people. I worked out, to get a bigger ass because that’s what people like. I tried to maintain a certain “look” and appear to be“perfect”. I wanted to please everyone so that I could be worthy of their love and be accepted. I didn’t realize that none of that shit works. It just makes you more anxious, more depressed, and more unsatisfied with life and yourself.

I’m happy to say things have changed quite drastically over the last year and a half. I’m not 100% there, (maybe, like 89%)but I’m learning how to love and accept myself. I’ve learned how to step into my power and just… be. Of course, I’ve had my ups and downs but overall, I’ve experienced growth. In this article, I’m going to share some of the steps I took to learn how to reclaim my power and learn how to love and accept myself — so you can too.
