About this listen
If you’ve been feeling deprived of time, energy, and care for yourself, then maybe it’s time for a change.
Are you constantly worried of what other people might think about you? Always feeling pressured to please everyone else at the expense of your emotions and happiness? Frequently having to give up your time and resources just to get other people’s appreciation and approval? Afraid of being on the receiving end of disapproval and rejection? Do you feel guilty whenever you take time for yourself? Maybe you're struggling with issues of social anxiety, negativity, and feel like you’re on the brink of depression?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then keep reading, you might just find the solution you need right here.
More people suffer from a lack of self-compassion than many of us would like to admit. Always putting others above themselves, people who fail to give themselves enough love and value can easily feel emotionally drained, tired, and unhappy. While it might seem like a temporary problem, a lack of self-compassion is a difficult rut to get out of. If you stay in it for too long, it can develop into a variety of other, deeper issues that can eat away at your mental well-being.
In this complete guide, we’re sharing all the information you need to know to help you climb out of that seemingly bottomless pit to achieve a greater sense of self-worth and importance to fuel an eagerness to love yourself more.
- The power of your past over your sense of self-worth and how to battle your demons to restore your feeling of importance
- The science of low self-esteem and how it happens in your brain
- Surprising reasons you might not realize as to why you lack self-compassion
- Key strategies toward accepting yourself and putting yourself first
- Actionable ways to keep the self-love flowing
- Loving others without losing yourself
- And a whole lot more!
For many of us, self-love isn’t automatic or effortless - it takes time, hard work, and a lot of practice. Fortunately, there are guides like this one which are specifically designed to help make your journey a little easier.
So, if you think you're in need of a little help, start by putting yourself first by scrolling up and clicking the buy button today!

Story
Why does it feel so natural to be compassionate and kind to those we care about - yet so hard to treat ourselves the same way? "Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else," says Dr. Kristin Neff. "We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves."

Story
The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion - and a tyrannical one at that. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we can't seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down like a ping-pong ball, rising and falling in lockstep with our latest success or failure.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Give glitter bombs and green juice a miss and plunge into the authentic pool of self-love. True self-love only arises when you’re able to look inside yourself and appreciate all you are. We are all equally capable of discovering a love that arises from deep within, but it won’t happen unless you identify and break free of the obstacles that are holding you back.

Have you ever wanted to be more confident or love your imperfections? Our self-esteem ends up determining who we are and how we approach life. Hence, you cannot turn a blind eye to your low self-esteem. The feelings you possess about yourself have the capability to not only affect you, but also others in the process. When your self-esteem and confidence levels are low, you will start losing trust in yourself and that can easily convert into feelings of frustration. Bit by bit, this pent-up frustration starts eating away at your happiness.
