in love with myself

It have been some time since I have thought about myself. I've thought of too many things about others and forgotten about myself. I have forgotten to love myself. I never thought much about myself. My mind has been so ingrained with self sabotaging thoughts for the longest time, that loving myself sounds unnatural. When I don't love myself, I know I suffer from low self esteem. But no!! I myself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, I deserve my love and affection.

I'm going to fall in love with myself for all the good and
accept the flaws in me that I'm imperfect.

I'm going to eliminate self criticism.

I'm going to be kind to myself,
pamper myself and doing things I enjoy.

I'm going to let go off worry.
Things will come to be, if they are meant to be.

I'm going to forgive myself for the mistakes in the past
that had caused me to feel less worthy of myself.

I'm going to relax, give myself space to take breaks once in a while.

and

I'm going to inject some fun in my life!
Life is meant to be an enjoyable.

Here is a good extract to reflect on...
“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know — but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.”

Denis2005 Virginia Satir quotes (American Psychologist and Educator, 1916-1988)

My friend, have you love yourself today? Feel that you are loved, not only by others, but first and foremost, feel that you are loved by your very self! Starting this moment, can you promise yourself that you will be your own best friend? Don't forget to love yourself!
