Lessons I’ve Learned On My Self-Love Journey

Over the last year or so, I’ve been on a journey of self-love and self-improvement.

I’ve been through a lot in my life (victimisation, re-victimisation and constant mistreatment) and these events have left me feeling traumatised and with a lot of issues such as:

  • Low self-esteem

  • Low self-worth

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Problems with interpersonal relationships

  • Overwhelming sense of sadness and loneliness.

Towards the end of last year I reached the end of my tether. I’d had enough. I was fed up of giving my all to others to the detriment of my own humanity, and I didn’t want to keep living my life hating myself and being treated like a figure of loathing.

The most important relationship I’ll ever have is with myself, so I decided that it was time to focus on the one person who needs to know she matters and deserves love, care and compassion: me.

My self-love journey is an ongoing, life-long process, but I’m very pleased with my progress so far. It is unique to me, but I thought it would be important to share the lessons I’ve learned because I know that the information would be useful to many people who’ve been in my position.

Here are the lessons I’ve learned on my self-love journey
