I’m not sure this will work. Perhaps, it is an idea of mine of which is rediculous. But worth a shot, right?
I was on the phone one day talking to a friend, and the question was asked, How do you love yourself? That is a question, I imagine a lot of people may have. I thought about it and an idea came to me. I then presented my friend with this suggestion.
1. Take out a pen or pencel or any other writing tool. A computer doesn’t count as you will need to do this by hand.
2. Take out a piece of paper and draw a picture of yourself. It doesn’t have to be complex, for I understand some, such as myself, aren’t good at drawing. As long as you can tell it is you on the page, good work. Be sure you are proud of this drawing as you will be looking at it often.
3. Place it in your room or somewhere you can see it easily and where you have easy access to it. Hang it on your wall, for example.
4. This is where it gets hard for me to explain, as my lack of sight henders me here. In a drawing, you can write within it, to my understanding. You can write things inside an arm or a leg, correct? Ok. So here is what you do. Each day when you awaken, write one positive thing about yourself within the picture you drew. It doesn’t have to be significant, it can be as simple as, I have nice hair. As long as it makes you feel good about yourself. Then you are done with the day in terms of writing. Whenever you are feeling not so happy, look at that one positive thing. Tell yourself it throughout the day. Look at it often.
5. Continue this each day, until the drawing is filled. Each day, write something different, and each day, look at all the positive things about you. Can’t think of anything positive about you? Ask people around you. Remember, it doesn’t have to be something amazing. As long as it is positive, it will do. Remember, look at these things throughout the day, and tell yourself they are true. Even if you are feeling good, continue to look at your picture for that is your creation. Think my idea has lots of flaws? Fair enough. Would you rather me talk this to you, because I suck at explaining? Ok. I’m just trying to help those who may want it. Do you have a response to what I have written? Do you need someone to talk to?

You can always comment in the comment box as well. If this works for you, let me know. If it doesn’t, you can let me know I’m an idiot, haha.

I tried drawing a picture of myself, but it came out looking like something Marilyn Manson and Kanye West would give birth to if they were able to impregnate each other 🙁
Nah, I love this post, great job 🙂
By the way, long time no see!
Ha, my eyes were blurry and i first read this as “how to leave yourself” lol
