Listen. Really listen. Listen actively.
Active listening plays a significant role, if not the most important, in order to improve how we communicate with each other.
Follow your soul. It knows the way.
Be gentle with yourself through the ups and downs. Self-compassion and patience with yourself are also very important parts of loving yourself.
You need to know yourself if you want to discover what needs to change to get better. If you don’t know who you are, how you function, how you think, how you perceive the world around you, etc, it will be quite difficult to pinpoint where the culprits are.
Your mind telling you that you are not enough, that you are too much, that you are problematic, that you are a burden, that you are not worthy, that you are not loved, that no one cares about you, and more statements of that sort, are lies.
