How do I love myself enough to want to change my life?

Note: I'm not looking for pity, I just want honest answers to help me get my life together cause I don't know how!For the past few years, I've been going a "downward spiral". Procrastinating, not being able to focus on a task that needs to be done long enough to finish it, gets distracted easily, sucks at managing my time, etc. But then, well I'll just say that someone I thought cared about me came into my life just to abandon me. Whatever self-worth I had left was gone. All of those bad traits I mentioned above got worse. I stop taking care of myself, gained weight, my mom still treats me like a kid (can't blame her since I still act like one). No one knows what to do with me. I tried to change my ways but they didn't last. My mom just thinks I'm lazy but I think I'm starting to see the root of the problem. I've always felt that my life could be better but instead of changing it, I allowed things to stay the same because I didn't believe I deserved better. I think I might be self-sabotaging myself because I don't believe I deserve to have a good life, that I'm not good enough for anything.Now the big question is how do I change my way of thinking? I'm gonna be stuck in the same old rut if I don't begin to love myself more, but where do I start? Really need some good advice because I don't know what to do.

Recommended Answer:

Your thought process and/or those around you appears to be" negative" thinking. Over time that becomes "auto suggestion" to which your body makes it come to be.Success, positive goals, and productive motivation requires a "positive" attitude...it is "Positive thinking", and over time becomes 'auto suggestion as well to which your body makes it come to be.Start to change your attitude...a little at a time. Like walking, first you had to crawl, then walk, then run.Smile instead of frown, concentrate on what you CAN accomplish instead of what you can't , and continue to" pick up speed". Good luck. Peace.

• It's not easy, it's almost a fake it till you make it kind of situation. If you pretend to love yourself, eventually you will. Don't give up, it takes time, miracles don't happen in a day. It may also help to talk to someone about it at the same time. Also, try complimenting yourself every now and then :)
