Learning to Love Yourself: Reclaiming Your Worth from Within

When was the last time you really looked at yourself and said, “I love you”? Not because you hit a milestone, lost the weight, made peace with the past, or had it all figured out — but simply because you’re you.

If you’ve been through trauma, neglect, addiction, betrayal, abandonment — whatever your story holds — then loving yourself might feel foreign. Maybe even impossible. I get it. For years, I lived with the belief that I was too broken to be loved fully. And if I’m being real? That belief almost kept me stuck.

But here’s what I’ve learned:
The journey to self-love isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about finding yourself — beneath the lies, the shame, the fear.

Self-love starts with self-honesty.
You have to be willing to see the pain, the patterns, and the parts of yourself you’ve hidden — with compassion, not judgment.

You are not your past.
What happened to you is not the same as who you are. There’s a pure, worthy version of you that’s never been damaged.

Speak to yourself like someone you adore.
Seriously. Would you talk to a child the way you talk to yourself? If not, it’s time to rewrite the narrative.

Healing doesn’t mean perfection — it means connection.

To your truth. To your body. To your divine essence. To the love that’s been waiting for you to return home.

No one else gets to decide your value. And no achievement, relationship, or validation will ever replace the radical power of choosing you.

Whether you're new to the healing journey or deep in the work, I would like to remind you: You are lovable. You are light. You are enough.
