- Thinking about how to love yourself? Self love is more than just a trendy concept; it's a fundamental aspect of personal well-being and mental health. It goes beyond indulging in occasional treats or pampering-it's about cultivating a deep, genuine appreciation for yourself.
Self-love is not a destination; it's a journey that grows through consistent, positive actions and a mindful attitude towards oneself. It's a holistic approach that encompasses self-awareness, recognizing your inherent self-worth, boosting self-esteem, and prioritizing self-care.
Establishing self-love can be transformative, but it's not an overnight process. It involves small, intentional steps that accumulate over time. So here are a few fundamental steps to love yourself.

thank you !

Thank you psych2go
I had that sorta upbringing where dieting makes you “selfish” but not dieting makes you “irresponsible”, and if you’re hovering between those states, then you are “undisciplined”.
So the only way to win is to both diet and not diet AT THE SAME TIME.
Just an example, mind you.
Thank you!
I always think negatively about myself because of my past and mistakes, but I'm trying my hardest to forgive myself each and every day.
You're doing amazing. First step is trying and watching this video is a good start. Are there any other types of video you'd like to learn more about?
@@Psych2go Yes indeed 💙🩶☺️🩶💙
Funny, I try to remember daily what I did.
@@Emergencyguy100 my friend, it's not about what you did, it's what you do that matters 💙🩶☺️👌🩶💙
@lonewolfnergiganos4000 someone is turned into pile of ashes and placed in urn and buried few feet beneath the ground because of my behavior
Always remember: if you look at your past self and feel disgusted and bad about your past actions. It means you’ve grown as a person.
This made me feel so much better 🥹🫶🏽 ty
Hey shall we be friends?
why is that?
Not if nothing changes
Nothing ever changes 😔
No, you've grown as a person as you can look back and look at yourself with empathy but you decide you want to be a better version of yourself.
Disgusting yourself and feeling bad about yourself is never healthy. I have seen your comment before so I'm guessing you have been posting it more than once. It's a very toxic comment.
When you said "dating yourself" like, LITERALLY! Treat yourself like you would treat the love of your life!! Thats how I started to truly love myself.
That's my goal this year. I'm still doing good to others. But also dating myself more. Who else knows us better than ourselves, right? 😊
Indeed, there is a very good point that is made there. It reminds me of something my brother once told me: "If you don't love yourself, how can you expect to love someone else?" I know some people who take issue with his statement, but I think it's valid nonetheless.
That's utter foolishness, both in concept and in practice.
If I suck, and someone is really nice to me, I can feel that they are lovley, almost more so, since they are nice to a piece of garbage. Puting someone on a pedistal can give hope and be a coping mechanism. However, I dont think you can not be convinced that someone actually loves you if you are deeply convinced that you are unlovable.@@thereadersvoice
ive been on bigger adventures together with myself, than i have with other people, in just the past year. Boy do i wish i did this, sooner.

Thank you 😊
It mercifully does have an end. An eternity with myself? Sounds horrible...
And some days are better than others just dont give up
remember guys you wanting to "learn" to love yourself is the biggest sign that you already love yourself, you're just lost and don't worry, its all gonna be alright 💌🌷💗
This one got me 😂 tears in my eyes like a little boy ❤

To whoever is reading this comment :love you

It's so cute❤
Love u too
Prove it
True self love comes from within, rather than external things.
At the time I'm writing this, your comment has had 52 likes, what's that got to do with yourself posting that statement, and how is it feel?
@@DomFortressbro 😂he is here to make more sub
Thats visible million miles away😉
And I don't blame no one btw, 😄
@@nathanael_rzf it's not for his own self reflection, that's for sure.
Treat yourself like you would treat others really got me. You wouldn’t tell your friend to just eat snacks for dinner if they came over. You wouldn’t leave your house a dirty mess if they were coming. You also wouldn’t tell them they look fat or that they are a bad parent or that they’re not worthy of love. You wouldn’t! So stop telling yourself those things and stop treating yourself like you don’t deserve a real dinner or a clean house because you do deserve those things to! 😢
Thank you🥹🫶🏽
You must be a nice person, always treat others well, but forget to be kind to yourself🤗
Thank you, I needed to read this.
I cant be the only one,who is in love in her voice. Its so calming
Self sabotage and self hate is my biggest flaw. I love this video. Saving it to reflect as i continue my self love this year
One most important thing for me to love yourself, be real and enjoy the moment. Just let the moment crystallize 😁❤️
very true!
And when that moment is pain, what can you turn your attention to deny reality?
Just think of yourself as the main character. yes, it might not be healthy to think yourself above others, but it helped me build confidence, and nobody liked me in school anyways so i had nothing to lose
Exactly I don't try to please people and don't care about what they think of me coz I know they all dislike me the people leave you alone only when they don't like you and now I really don't care. I don't want to be part of any group coz I've made my own self group 😂 there are 3 members in this group - I, me and myself
Ppl who say you can't get married to yourself well not everyone is desperate for a marriage coz anyways I'm not romantic I love watching cartoons and gossiping with my mom 😅❤
I can not believe I just stumbled upon this at this moment!-
I have struggled with depression/ self - hate for most of my life; and unfortunately my family fostered and nurtured this dynamic- "if bad things happen to you, it's because you are a bad person" (that sort of thing--
I have realized, while currently in my 50's this is not the life I deserve-
taking blame for everything and more importantly, not taking care of myself no matter who disagrees or tried to convince me I am not worth it----
I am so grateful to psych to go- it was here when I first affirmed I was an HSP, not a wimp as many have tried to make me feel.
I love the gentle manner in which you present information and encouragement; and how you foster self - love and unconditional acceptance- for no one is perfect, after all! This is just what I needed to (re)learn how to begin loving myself; while identifying areas where I need more practice---- THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I believe you are saving lives!
P.S. the ambient music was a nice touch ;)
Thanks Again!❤❤❤❤
I know any and all self-hate my family's behavior has cause was mostly unintentional, I can't even imagine the crap I'd have put myself through if they told me directly the things I've come to believe! But, as they say, better late than never. You're not at the end of your life just yet and you deserve to have happy last years despite what that crappy "family" that abused you said. I hope you no longer have to be in contact with them and are surrounded by a healthy support system and good coping methods!
This is also a good time for me, as I've recently been figuring out that every time I've told myself that I love me is a lie, because no matter how much I think I care about myself or want to, it's not true. I can't even say "I love you" in the mirror to my own face, I struggle letting myself sleep because I feel like I'm a failure if I don't do something "productive" every day. All my "me" time is just projects I feel like I have to do, I'm not actually doing anything for me or my health and I actively prioritize these things over cleaning, hygiene, and exercise, so I'm trying to change that perspective so I can finally learn to love and take care of me... I wish you all the best!❤
You're still a wimp by yourself interpreting your own pain as something bad about you, not actually respond to your own pain by yourself starting the healing process.
I've learned that giving up on hobbies and turning to alcohol and drugs is really the only solution. At least they can truly make you happy unlike people who will stab you in the back or hobbies that are a waste of money and time.
@@elliotthefennekin6506 so you're stabbing your own liver and central nervous system with drugs and alcohols, not that you knew any health habits to begin with.
@@elliotthefennekin6506 You're in a void of misery, and the drugs aren't making you happy, you just like them because while you're high they make you forget everything. But those problems still exist, you just ignore them until they can't be fixed anymore. You're killing yourself with substances, taking the "easy" way out and destroying everything around in the process. Drugs and alcoholism aren't happiness, they're forgetfulness, and you can't love yourself while putting your body through that suffering.
I am working with a therapist right now who gave me a daily self-love journaling packet. This video was very appropriate and applicable for me....thank you.
I'm happy to hear you're getting the help you need. Glad hear this video can help you out :)
Thank you for this video I have suffered from low self esteem all my life and I am 43 now and it's very sad it's like it will never end 😢
It's hard and never easy! It's all baby steps. One step at time and tackle small self-love activities. We hope this video can help you out and leave as a reminder to love yourself. We also have a video on how to attract and improve your life in 2024. Video is pinned in the comment section if you'd like to watch it!

Thank u it helps more than u know
This is good timing bcs Im currently struggling w getting over/not getting over a crush, and ik that I need to learn to love myself before I can love someone else
You might be a person who has an Anxious Attachment Style. Look into it. Just understanding it can make a difference.
@@BrettLesPaul I do have anxiety tho Ive never been in a relationship
Wow, this video came at the right moment. This weekend I tried researching a bit on how to love and embrace my most authentic self, instead of holding myself back because of my insecurities. I really hope that this February I can start with a more positive outlook in life.
You're very welcome! We're here to help! We also have another video on attract and improve your life in 2024. It might also help you out. The video is pinned in the comment section
I love that bit that we can use our own love language on ourselves♡
Not only do I love this video, the animations, the facial expressions and everything, but I'm so grateful for the knowledge it's given me and how its given it to me. My self-love journey begins today; thank you Psych2Go!❤❤
this past year has been so tough on me. i began seeing a therapist and am currently working on loving myself. im glad this video was posted! hope it could help me throughout my self love journey
Kudos for seeing a therapist! Doing a good thing for yourself.
@@erikohman2294 thanks! it was hard reaching out for help at first but i feel a lot more at ease i have someone to talk to.
@@erikohman2294Thanks! it was hard reaching out for help at first but once i did i saw results quickly.
Maybe inspired by some of the other channels, but no matter where i go in life, just know that this will be one of my favorite TH-cam channels. This channel helped me through so much.
Hope you enjoy a huge milestone this year!
When I try to validate my feelings, I feel as if I'm victimizing myself and that there are people struggling more than me. I know what I feel is valid, but still, I feel as if it's just me victimizing myself to gain people's sympathy or even my own sympathy.
IMO: Demanding respect from others isn't self love. Respect is earned and not everyone will give it. Self love is respecting yourself, and standing up for yourself when others wrong you or talk down to you. This doesn't mean you have to be rude.
This is only a part of self love though. The part that I know. ❤
I have 9 months of sobriety from a benzo/alcohol addiction. It's funny this popped up when I was doing my meditation and prayer in the morning.
Congratulations 👏👏👏 Keep going! You've done it so you know for a fact you can continue doing it.
I absolutely needed this! I know I need to learn to love myself, but I get lost at how it works and this really helps🙏
Thanks for this, it kind of helped and comments below, I've been suffering whole my life low self-esteem, I think is the word for it and anxiety and today was the worst day for a while... I'm 32 and felt like I've done everything wrong, everyone else my age has achieved so much more and knows what they're doing...
I always had a hard time forgiving myself entirely, but the way I do is writing my journal that way I can improve my positivity & increase my peace and happiness. And that I learn from my past mistakes.
As someone who completely doesn’t understand about self love I hope to improve that aspect of myself in the following days. Thank you for these videos
Love this content , love this channel , love the strength that i receive from here everytime i watch a helpful video .
my problem is i can't love myself properly , i feel incomplete and most of the time i don't see myself through my eyes , i see her through the eyes of people around me , i know it's wrong and i'm trying to not do this , the other wrong thing with me is even i feel like loving myself for a while , i quickly get back to the very unhealthy habits of negative talk and criticizing myself .
I always feel like there's something missing about me , a piece i can never find and that piece is what cuasing a distortion in the way i see myself , not being aware of the defects in ur personality is one thing but knowing them and not being able to change them is something else , although i'm trying hard and i've never given up yet , i don't know if i can get better but i believe i can .
I like to conceptualise this practice as "catering to the needs of my future self" as if i was treating a good friend that's stuck in my shoes.
I guess I’ve secretly loved myself? That’s probably why I have been feeling more confident with myself. It was ever since I found out about this flaw of mine that I like. It helps when I am self aware all the time and always talk to myself even if it’s just inside my head. Good to know. And now I am aware that I secretly love myself more than I thought I did. :)
I negative self talk for fun. But I make sure I don’t go too far. It’s kinda like how much I can handle harm to my skin. I can enjoy a bit of harm I can do to my skin but if I go too far it could get serious. Same thing goes for if I get too self aware or critical with myself. So I will limit myself with these critical self thoughts so I don’t go too far so it doesn’t make me hate myself. :)
@@Lost_Lucity wow i really aspire to be like you dude
I've been struggling with self love, well basically during all my life but I've been truly trying to stop my negative self talk/to learn to love myself more for like the past few months, and I'm already noticing everytime I do negative self talk, and yeah it's a long path but I feel like if you take this path, you can only learn a lot, about yourself but also the others and how the world works, and how to be genuinely happy :)
Phych2go, you have made my life different. Ever since I watched your videos about deppresion and stuff (since I took a test on deppresion and said I was severely depressed), you helped me to fight my depression. Without this channel, I may still have been battling with my depression and have low esteem and whatnot. Today, I am more happier because of your videos. It may be unlikely that you will see this comment, but I just want to say thank you.
I don't know if Phych2go will see it but I did and your comment obviously was from your heart. I love reading the comments to make me feel good that this is helping others and that I'm not alone. So thank you for sharing and best of luck and blessings to you!
@@strashinsky Yes, it maybe unlikely but I do hope they will see it , along with other's comments so that they will know how much people appreciate their channel. Also, thank you too man. Always remember that you are not alone, God will always help us.
It’s hard to love myself without thinking it’s wrong because of years of an abusive relationship with this girl who drilled it so deep in my head that it is. Any time I got there, she put me down. But I’m working on it to kick that mindset for good
I feel like most of the time, I'm pretty critical of myself for not being "good enough" or "better". However, actually taking some time to outline who I am may be a good first step toward seeing myself more positively. Thank you for this amazing video, Psych2Go!
I'm actually taking part in the "Know Yourself" Activity and I will say it's interesting. On one hand, it's kind of nice to know I know a bit about myself. But on the other hand, it's a little challenging when asking myself "who am I?". I'm certain it will take a long time until I am fully aware of who I am currently.
Has anyone else here done the "Know Yourself" Activity? If so, what strengths, weakness, likes and dislikes have you discovered about yourself?
love these videos!! I like the idea of giving yourself your own love language(s) ❣️❣️
I have weekly calls with my cousin every weekend, It helps with both our mental healths 😌
Thank you for saving many life.
i love you.
choose life.
choose peace.
choose always to Forgive because it is good for your health.
I swear this channel has the cutest animations. Thank you for this video!
Thank you! We're trying our best!
I have improved on that concept because I learn to accept my flaws and faults and failures, then I learn to try again and again and again until I improve and make myself proud
This is a great video, the narrator has such a calming voice, I will use this from today onwards ❤
Her voice is so calming💆🏻♀️
What a great start to my day thanks❤❤
My counselor told me to turn self negative thoughts to good things so this matches with that!
I liked a girl onced that broke me literally. I realized that I get attached too easily and this reflects to me that i have low self worth.
I love this video i literealy cry i was wrong in my case i couldn't find any mistake before in myself and now i finally understand thank you so much😊
This video was much needed and appreciated ❤
I want to thank you for the content, it has changed my life
Love this thank you much needed 💜💖
I’m early hello! I love your channel for helping people and spreading awareness and if I may say I appreciate you thank you
I constantly feel like i don't deserve any of the happiness and i don't deserve any love.. And at the same time I long for both.. I feel like i annoy my frnds by ranting the same thing again and again.. To the pint they stop talking with me normally.. Even the slightest change in their text or behavior make me doubt myself.. My close frnds always say I'm a people pleaser..
Tdy my frnds said that i have to love myself... I'm going to give myself a chance.. I'll change myself for my own good..
How i did that first one was make an 'original character' that's been thru all the stuff I've been and give her the traits i have, and yes, i like that character, that is me in so many ways💕
I have to love myself because not many others will😂
There's a saying, you have you help yourself then you can help others. Love yourself first before loving others. 💕 Thanks for joining early!
@@Psych2go your right I do icealate myself from others sometimes I don't know if it makes sense but I feel more comfortable that way
thank you so much for this video and it's just what I need. :) been feeling down lately. my self-esteem is pretty low and self-love is what I have been struggling with. will make some changes for the better. thank you Psych2go! :)
You're very welcome! We're here to help! We also have another video on attract and improve your life in 2024. It might also help you out. The video is pinned in the comment section
I soooo love the scene in front of the mirror blowing kisses. It's soooo cute! :)
Thanks for this video. It's helpful as it tells the "How" instead of just telling people to "Love yourself". Good job! :)
Will watch again thankyou 👍🏻
I enjoyed this video and will definately practise these tips thankyou 😊❤️
Fantastic video. Genuinely if you can't even love your own self and at least practice compassion to yourself to some degree it's going to be a very very rough road. This is coming from someone who didn't at all for so long.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for useful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
I love myself, only myself...❤
Self compassion. ♥️
Thank you soo much !
💖💕✨♾️🧿
I paint to forget everything and let go of hurt and irritation feelings ❤❤❤
so i actualy asked for this and got it now - im exited
My teachers have recently been bringing up stuff about failing high school and I can’t help but think I’m gonna be the one to fail. The worst part is part of me knows this is completely unreasonable and the fact that I know I’m being unreasonable makes me feel worse because I feel like I’m self-sabotaging and being dramatic
As a science student I say... Everything that has mass and occupy space is matter and yes you MATTER!!!! ❤
I SWEAR I FEEL LIKE PSYCH2GO IS WATCHING ME HAHAHA
Everytime they post, most of it is what I really feel haha, thank you for being there always and guiding us! We love youu, pls do not stop making videos everyday! ♡
No matter how hard I try my new experiences always teach me sth new and show me a side to me i didn't know
Your voice is so soothing
Yes and im ready😊
This is helpful, nicely done.
This video was really good; I actually took notes here, because it's something I have wanted to work on for a while. The Likes/Dislikes/Strengths/Weaknesses chart is a really good call too- I hadn't even thought to try that lol
Yes! Do let us know how it goes for you! It takes practice to see any results. Don't give up and keep on striving!
Over the past few years, I’ve been struggling with my mental health. I haven’t had anything that can help love myself as person because of self-doub and I don’t have many skills. As of now, I’m trying to work improving myself, and have a positive mindset.
It's okay to not be okay, you always have my love!
Thank you for giving me a new idea - dating myself🥰
This is an excellent video to help make actual progress. ❣️
Thank you for this!! ❤
You're so welcome!
Thank you.
4:52 my love language: hugging myself, kissing my fingers arranged to resemble lips and putting them on my cheek, petting myself and making a discussion between my dissapointed self, myself with worthleak and supportive self (the dissapointed one is absent very often). I'm doing this when I'm alone and frequently in my bed.
I know, it's weird.🤣🤣🤣
Edit: I also treat myself how I could treat my partner (if I had one) as you said on the video so I think I might be on a good way to love myself.❤❤❤❤
Thank you for ❤❤
Being a genius isn't as easy as it sounds. While possessing a much higher level of competence, expertise, curiosity and learning capabilities may sound advantageous it also comes with it's own set of weaknesses. Having a high level of intelligence is essentially a double-edged sword and some of the most common hurdles highly intelligent people have to face are having a harder time finding love and friends who can relate to their deep and highly complex personality. Having the need to always make sure their work and ideas meet the required standards. Being more susceptible to criticism and feeling like nothing they do is ever good enough no matter how hard they try which can lead to depression and self-doubt of their own capabilities etc.
Being a highly intelligent person myself i've had to endure all of these difficulties and believe me they don't put a good impact or reputation on my confidence and self-esteem.
The advice i didn't know i needed
thanks for the last line
thankss!!
Wow! Valued information
'Offer yourself kindness'
Thank you
I needed this video😭 ty psych2go❤
Thank you I needed to hear this.
You're very welcome! Is there any other topics you'd like us to cover more on?
I really love this channel
Good afternoon from NZ 😊
Oh this video popped up while I was having a mental breakdown. I hated me, no I hated the voice in me that constantly told me "you're useless", "worthless", "I f*cking hate you", "you are a waste of useful space", "just end it already" and all I can do here is look at the ceiling fighting myself over it
I really love myself ❤
thank you
Thanks to you I might start to love myself.Thank you
I really needed this
Hope this video helps you!
