1) Appreciate yourself
At the end of every day remind yourself all good that you did and appreciate yourself for that. It can be anything: helping a stranger or your loved ones.

And you should learn from that incident rather than torturing yourself all the time.

4) Don’t let pessimistic thoughts dent you
Don’t lecture yourself about your wrongdoing as a mistake doesn’t make you a bad person. Accept that by mistake you committed a mistake, learn from it and be careful in the future but don’t criticize yourself for being what and how you are.

6) Understand that nothing wrong in being selfish
Yes, it is true. You must take your care and pay attention to your needs, wants, likes and dislikes. Unless you learn to appreciate, understand and embrace yourself the way you are, you would hesitate to do things that make you happy and more alive-chances are there that you might feel guilty and consider yourself selfish. Learn to love yourself as without self-love to humans you would be what a vessel without water is to trees useless.
