Healing My Relationships
I'm in no way a relationship expert. I'm not really an expert in anything, not even writing, which is the thing I studied only because it was the thing that felt most intuitive and correct. But if you asked me most grammar questions, I probably don't know the answer. I know what a noun is, but I don't know what a dangling participle is, and I don't much care. I learned how words work by reading a lot and by writing a lot and so, my expertise here was born of nothing more than exposure and practice.

The Endgame's Ryan Michelle Bathé: "Why Radical Self Acceptance Can Change The World"
…If I could use my influence for anything, it would be to create and hold space for people. To reach out, and have every single person experience what radical love and acceptance of themselves would feel like, and show them how to start extending that love to the people around them, even if they started small.

Learn Self-love with Small Steps
I met many people who go through difficult times in their life. They really struggle to cope with their mental health, depression, and anxiety. I also met people who manage all the difficulties exquisitely, on the other hand. I was glad though amazed at the way they managed themselves. Some queries pop up in my mind about how do they manage all the things wonderfully? How do they feel so good? I thought, perhaps, they have nothing to fight in their life. Soon I disagree with my own thought because this might not be a reason because I believe that every person on the globe experiences certain challenges in life. However, the type and nature of these challenges may vary from one person's life to another. By observing, judging, experiencing, and critical thinking, I found some strategies to be a happy person. The main point of all strategies is self-love.
Have Faith In Yourself And Feel More Than Enough, Just As You Are
Just like a newborn, you are more than enough just as you are. You being authentically you, on purpose, is what makes you worthy and valuablTerri Kozlowski. Do you believe you are more than enough, just as you are? Most people struggle with the sense they are sufficient, just as they are. Somewhere in the past, someone made them feel inferior for something. Then the ego took this notion of being lesser and told you to hide who you authentically are so you would be accepted.

Challenge yourself to practice or adopt some healthy habits that can improve your self-confidence.
