How to Start Loving Yourself When You Don’t Know How
Introduction
If you've ever found yourself wondering, “How do I even begin to love myself?” — you're not alone. Self-love is one of those things everyone talks about but few truly understand how to practice. It can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even impossible if you’ve spent years being hard on yourself, seeking validation from others, or living in a cycle of self-doubt.
But here’s the truth: self-love is not a destination; it’s a skill you can learn. And you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
That’s exactly why The 44 Laws of Self-Love was written — to guide you, law by law, into building a solid foundation of acceptance, healing, and growth. It’s more than a book; it’s a blueprint for learning how to love yourself from the inside out.
Why You Might Struggle With Self-Love
Self-love doesn’t always come naturally — especially if you’ve grown up in environments where your worth was tied to performance, appearance, or how much you gave to others. Maybe you:
Constantly compare yourself to others.
Feel uncomfortable receiving compliments.
Say yes when you want to say no.
Criticize yourself more than you celebrate yourself.
If any of this sounds familiar, that’s not your fault. But it is your responsibility to unlearn it. And that’s where the journey begins.
Start With Acceptance
The first pillar of The 44 Laws of Self-Love is Acceptance — because you can’t grow from a place you haven’t accepted. This means learning to stop fighting who you are and instead begin embracing every part of you, even the parts you’ve been taught to hide.
Try This:
Stand in front of a mirror, look into your eyes, and say: “I accept who I am today, even as I grow.”
Read the first 8 laws of the book and it will teache you that you are not broken. You are a complete human being, even with your flaws.
Heal the Relationship With Yourself
Before you can fully love yourself, you need to heal the wounds you’ve been carrying. Whether it's past trauma, toxic relationships, or chronic self-neglect, healing is essential. The second pillar of the book, Healing, shows you how.
From the book:
The Law of Self-compassion encourages you to treat yourself with kindness, especially through the mistakes.
The Law of Self-Emotional Intelligence helps you understand your emotions without judgment.
The Law of Forgiveness teaches you to release emotional burdens and find healing.
There are a total of 13 Laws under healing, which gives you permission to feel — and to forgive yourself for not knowing how to love yourself sooner.
Rebuild Your Inner World With Intention and a Growth Mindsent
Once you’ve begun to accept and heal, you can start to rebuild — this is where Growth, the third pillar of The 44 Laws of Self-Love, comes with 23 Laws. It’s about creating a life that reflects how deeply you care for yourself.
From the book:
The Law of Boundaries helps you protect your energy.
The Law of Authentic Relationships teaches you to expect more — not less — from your relationships.
