Forgive yourself for past mistakes. They do not define you. Mistakes are part of growth. Tell yourself: “I did what I could then. Now I know more – and I will act differently.”

Take care of yourself with physical actions: sleep, food, movement, hygiene. This is not a luxury – it is a manifestation of respect for yourself. When you take care of your body, you say: “You are important.”
Surround yourself with people who value you. Avoid those who devalue, criticize, manipulate. Support is like oxygen for self-esteem.
Do things that bring you joy, not just benefits. Drawing, music, walking, dancing – anything that reminds you: “I’m living, not surviving.” This helps you feel like yourself.
And finally, self-love is not an end goal, but a process. You won’t “love yourself” in a day. But every time you choose kindness over criticism, you get closer to yourself.
