- You love yourself, not hate yourself.
-
You look after your physical health – eat well, sleep well, exercise and enjoy
yourself.
-
You see yourself as being a valuable person in your own right.
You don’t have to earn the right to exist.
You don’t have to earn the right to exist.
-
You judge yourself on reasonable standards.
