Seven starting practices.

1. Speak to yourself as you'd speak to a friend going through the same thing
2. Notice basic self-neglect — meals, sleep, water — and correct one at a time
3. Keep small promises to yourself (the foundation of self-trust)
4. Learn to receive compliments without deflecting
5. Identify one thing you're genuinely good at; practise it regularly
6. Let yourself enjoy things without justification
7. Consider therapy — self-love often requires unpicking old patterns, which is harder solo
