How to feel Self-Love

Through various ways.
One was to have clear what my issues are, my pain-points and to work on those. I used plural ways and many years for that.
Your inner child issues are the stumbling blocks on the way to love of self so quite important to identify them and work on them.

Another one, what Abraham Hicks says: if you find it difficult to love yourself, love other people and things as much as you can!
Of course she doesn't mean people pleasing. That's not love, doesn't come from love, but from the hurt ego/inner child. Just generally loving.
When you can feel love, you shift in energy and self-love become more natural and fluent.
Feeling love (begins to) opens the heart.
Love of nature, birds, your family or friends, a flower, a beautiful vase, love the meal your eating, and so on.

From Gregg Braden & Dr Joe Dispenza: Practise gratitude a few times a day for 10 minutes. This will shift your energy within days!
You can be grateful for having beautiful hair/fingernails/toes/whatever, your cat, your car, your curtains, your soft mattress, birds singing, the sun shining and so on and so forth.

Gratitude is an extremely high vibration so when you can shift into that, self-love isn't even a question anymore. Who can doubt love of self when your heart is filled with gratitude?

All this is where doing Abraham Hicks' focus wheels daily come in very handy.
They can raise your vibration at the speed of light!
When I did them regularly it took a mere 3 sentences for me to be back on a high vibration of love and gratitude.
You should be able to find how to do this on YouTube.

I forgot to add this one, from Abraham Hicks:
Sit or stand in front of a mirror, really look into your eyes. This may be uncomfortable, but remember it's you! No one is watching it's just you & you.
Then say to yourself "I love you!"
Repeat that and keeping looking at yourself, in your own eyes.

Again, it can feel awkward at first but the more you do this the easier it gets!!
Because you then begin to open up to loving yourself.

Whenever I say it 2-3x I end up smiling and even laughing.
I really see 'me', my essence. The exact same 'me' that I recall from being a child. I cannot recall looking in the mirror way back then, but I can recall the expression in my eyes in photos.
It's still the same even though I'm now 58 instead of 7 or 9 or....

It's really worth doing.
(Don't say "I love myself", say "I love you!")
