Most people are their own harshest critics and focus more on faults than strengths. Be mindful of your feelings without judgement. Maybe try starting with just recognizing negative self talk. After you’ve got that down, start a conversation with yourself, reply back to yourself as though you were a friend. Developing positive self talk is a gradual process, be mindful of every small step, and congratulate yourself. Use positive affirmations, like “I am proud of myself “. If you can find it on YouTube (I will look as well), there is a quite inspirational talk by the head of the Air Force, of all people. He talks a bit about the importance of making ones bed in the morning. The short version is that you start off the morning with an easy to accomplish positive task that you can be proud of. Maybe it’s a different task that works for you.

Baby steps are a pleasant way to manage a healthy type of habit. Many small steps can also arrivd at a destunation. Extend a timeline to suit your way.
Many remember that childhood phrase about treating others how you're like to be treated. If a friend needed some support you'd likely do what you could. Treat yourself the same way. Make it fun at times. Do what you enjoy. Little things help a lot. Laugh everyday. If we're our own best friend we're giving ourselves a great start. All the best to you. ❤️ 💙 💜
