How to Love Yourself in 7 Simple Steps
Introduction
In this powerful book, you will learn seven important steps to help you heal emotionally so you can learn to love yourself again. But before we even get into the steps, you’ll need to prepare your heart to receive them, so that’s exactly what we’re going to do in the first part of this book. I have prepared each step based on many years of research, which included professional training in the study of human behavior.
We’re going to keep things friendly and simple, so relax and take a deep breath. The first thing I want you to know is that you are part of me because we’ve both gone through many trials and tribulations. I feel your pain. I know what it means to feel rejected and unwanted. But there’s a great love prepared for you. This love is beyond human imagination because it gives it all for you. And this love is found in your heart and no one can take it away from you… No one!
In my research, I learned that people are affected by low self-esteem in different ways. The symptoms could vary. While some of us may be affected by depression, others could develop a hostile attitude. But the solution is always the same: To destroy the root of rejection.
In this book, we will learn to overcome low self-esteem by understanding what’s causing your affliction so you can fight back and allow your heart to heal regardless of what your symptoms are. The following are some of the main symptoms developed by a person suffering from low self-esteem:
· Sensitivity to criticism
· Social withdrawal
· Hostility
· Excessive preoccupation with personal problems
· Physical symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia and headaches
Your low self-esteem is the result of your rejected heart. This rejection has led you to develop a self-defense mechanism and fed your ego. Today you protect yourself by not letting anybody hurt you again, but that’s a double-edged sword. With this attitude, you’re only hurting yourself more because if you push people away, how are you going to learn to love them? And if you can’t love others, how in the world are you ever going to learn to love yourself? This is why it’s extremely important that you first kill the ego inside your heart so you can move on, but we’ll talk about that later.
