5 Ways To Heal Your Relationship With Yourself
Life can be a very lonely and isolating journey. Because of this one fact, your relationship with yourself is the key to how your life turns out.
Despite being the most impactful figure in our lives, we tend to mistreat ourselves. Many of us have damaged our relationship with ourselves, leading to self-neglect, self-hate, and a lack of compassion – I know I did for a really long time.
To mend this relationship, here are 4 simple yet powerful strategies:
1. Give Yourself Undivided Attention
2. Meet Your Needs in Real Time
3. Don't Withhold Praise
4. Validate Your Feelings

I was homeless for ten years and crawled myself out of the gutter to work 70 hours a week and have no friends or money. I should have stayed homeless. My mental health was so much better. I left being homeless to be a slave. Missed everything and have no one. Don't see the pont in anything
I don't have any life dreams anymore. I fail too much so I gave up.
I think it would be better to say that the hardest thing you need to do is actually the most important one. Meaning should come first, because it changes how we perceive our effort. Instead of seeing it as a threat, we begin to see it as a potential resource. I'm not saying you're wrong – just trying to clarify a few details. It's not about hardness; it's about importance in the first place. Thanks for addressing such an important topic — healing our relationship with ourselves is something many people struggle with, and it's valuable to see it discussed openly.
also I find it wrong that I am changing for good, so I question it,
whenever I try to talk to me I get a very very uncomfortable sorta third person pov image myself looking very dull, helpless, weak and alien, so I avoid it, but also I have extreme ocd
Each advice is a pure piece of gold!
the first minute of this, i started crying. thank you so much for this.
Brilliant! 😊
I love myself ❤
That's true
Incredible! So well said. Thank you 😊
Probably the most meaningful video for me!
Listening to this really helps. Thank you
The way you delivered this most important message ever needed to be heard by someone was profound, dare I even say "epic". Thank you for you.
I am in trouble if I am all I got
I just want to die already. Shit is hard out here..
Jesus Loves you and died for you, repent and be baptized and believe in the gospel
Focus on your relationship with God, that's what we were made for.
Great perspective. Thanks.
And that person is Jesus
Oh… So like I talk to my daughter. I will try that.
You just helped me realized my father was never satisfied with my results. "Why not A+?" Is about right. Then I been doing it to myself and others for decades.
2 mins in and i already know this is life changing
I wish no one else to feel like I do of myself. Im quick to praise anyone else but myself. Because I know my inner self is a self-entitled whiny brat. I hate myself deeply to the core. Like if I could, I wouldnt want to be around myself but I keep to myself to save others fhe trouble. Im useless and worthless and these are facts. My ego gets super bloated at just a small praise so I dont want to feed that because it always back fires if I become too confident. I know Im damaging myself but theres no hope to overcome what I feel. I just bury everything and try my best to live day by day. Its hard sometimes. I think I realise at times that Im lonely and sad but its stupid and I tell myself to get over it.
Actions speak very loudly. I am not important, I am not worthy. I am not treated like I matter so i dont care.
The person you described.. was Jesus, he is the who knows me, cares for me, shows up for me! And he’s changing my mind!
Wow, VERY IMPORTANT VIDEO!!!!
