Growing up with not enough acceptance and too much shame, we may cling to our shortcomings, past failures, and poor decisions. We minimize the good things about ourselves and our positive qualities. Scientists tell us that our brain has a negativity bias.
Signs of low self-esteem include: saying negative things and being critical about yourself. joking about yourself in a negative way. focusing on your negatives and ignoring your achievements.
Start adoring yourself now and take the first step into self-love. Be adoringly obsessed with yourself and cherish yourself, always. Even in times when you make mistakes and learn how to not be too hard on yourself, and just DO YOU. You don't have to change who you are.

Self-love is the basis for unconditional love towards others and an abundant and fulfilled life in general. Lack of self-love, self-esteem, and self-worth manifests as scarcity in finances, lack of trust in relationships, an unfulfilling career and job, and a sense of missing control of our own life.

People lacking love therefore feel more depressed. This triggers a range of core beliefs such as worthlessness, or a negative outlook on life. Overtime, we become less motivated to complete tasks, set goals or prioritize our self-care.
