I know Jack’s talk on perfection helped a lot of people today, but in case there’s anyone out there who’s too down to possibly imagine ever loving themselves because it sounds so impossible, maybe you can try this instead?

Change the word ‘love’ to ‘accept’.  That’s it.  Sounds like a massive downgrade right? But it’s far easier to imagine. I accept myself. I am enough. 

Don’t compare yourself to others. “Compare and Despair” is one of the unhelpful thinking habits that you can challenge when you catch yourself. You don’t know the troubles of others.  Don’t compare your behind the scenes mess to their carefully crafted highlight reel.  

If you can’t love yourself yet, just learn to accept yourself. I accept you just as you are.  You are enough.
