How to love
yourself worksheet

Are you struggling with this issue – How to love yourself more, better or easier?

This is a common issue that I hear most often. And this one touches my heart every time. So I have put together a worksheet just to help all of you learn to love yourself more.

It's a learning process. That’s why so many people don’t feel loved by themselves. Women especially because you give love. You love our parents, you love your husbands, you love your children, and you love your best friends.

But you never learn to love yourself completely. You might love certain things about you. But in order to give yourself the fullest love possible you need to feel complete, you must learn to love all of you.

That includes your body, your mind and your soul. I want you to start thinking about loving yourself first. Now don’t get all nervous and scared. I’m not talking about putting all your needs first and shutting others out.

Quite the opposite actually. I’m taking about learning to love yourself first and then sharing that complete, whole love with the people around you.

Get out your journal and write at the top of the page – Why I love myself fully and completely.

This is a little bit different then the question how to love yourself, isn’t it? Because you can not get the answer from someone else, you must answer it yourself.

You are the only one who knows yourself intimately. You know yourself better then any other person alive. You may not want to admit that just yet but honey, it’s true.

Now under that journal entry title – why I love myself fully and completely – I want you to list all the reasons why.

Great mother. Loving wife. Responsible daughter. Good cook. Smart. Friendly. Caring.

These are all great qualities but I want you to go much deeper then that. All these surface qualities are great and you need them too. But to really love yourself completely you must go deep inside yourself to pull out your true personal power.

In order to learn how to love yourself with total acceptance and approval you must dig out your personal treasures.

Here are a few deep personal qualities to get you thinking in the right direction.

Am I honest with myself and others? Am I unwavering in how I expect to be treated by myself and others? Do I maintain at least intermediate fitness level to enjoy outstanding health? Am I dedicated to helping others?

See how these are deeper then surface qualities? You need to really discover and learn your true qualities. You may take some of your great qualities for granite right now. Or you may not even know how truly wonderful you are to yourself or the people around you.

If they don’t openly say things about how much they appreciate you, you may internalize that as you aren’t doing enough.

That’s why you must love yourself first. And have an abundant supply of self love. When you get to that place of total and complete self acceptance you don’t need anyone else to reassure you.

You say “I love you” to yourself to feel loved. Having others say it is nice of course. But learning to love yourself fully will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Learning how to love yourself is one of the greatest rewards you’ll ever receive, guaranteed.
