LIKING YOURSELF:

Recovering people often say: "I just don't like myself. When will I
start liking myself?"

Of all the recovery behaviors we're striving to attain, loving
ourselves may be the most difficult, and one of the most important.
If we are habitually harsh and critical toward ourselves, learning to
be gentle with ourselves may require effort.

By not liking ourselves, we may be perpetuating the discounting,
neglect or abuse we received in childhood from the important
people in our life. We didn't like what happened then, but find
ourselves copying those who mistreated us by treating ourselves
poorly.

Instead of criticizing ourselves, we can tell ourselves we performed
well enough.

People who truly love themselves do not become destructively
self-centered. They do not abuse others. They do not stop growing
and changing. People who love themselves well, learn to love
others well too. They continually grow into healthier people,
learning that their love was appropriately placed.
