   Don't define yourself by what you've done. Celebrate your accomplishments, but let go of the things you haven't done...yet? Remember that success is not a destination. Success is making progress (towards the desires of your heart). Accept yourself, and others will follow your lead. You are not your deeds, appearance, or bank balance.

   Hug Yourself. Show yourself love through a hug by hugging the real you.

   Be who you really are. Express yourself, laugh, play, or sing. Be crazy. Don't be afraid of what others think. They feel the same way and want to express themselves, but are afraid to show it, too.

   Practice receiving love. To truly love is to be able to receive it. When someone loves you, does some kind deeds to you, says kind words, gives you gifts, or gives you compliments, embrace it. Allow yourself to feel the love that has come your way. Know that you are worthy of love. It is important to accept a gift of love by others. You give yourself a chance to learn more about yourself, and that you are lovable. You give someone a joy of giving by loving you. Another important way is to practice receiving love by saying “I love you” to yourself. Let that love fill your heart. Receive that love that you give to yourself unconditionally.
