It’s a universal experience to feel unlovable at times, especially when you're struggling with feelings of self-rejection or insecurity. The good news is that self-love is not about being perfect or feeling great all the time; it’s about loving yourself fully, even on the hard days.
If you're ready to start loving yourself even when you feel unlovable, here’s how to begin the journey:
Identifying Your Inner Critic
Self-rejection is often rooted in the voice of our inner critic—the part of us that believes we aren’t good enough. It may sound like, “You’ll never be successful,” or “Who could ever love you?” These thoughts often stem from childhood, past experiences, comparing ourselves to others or attempting to live within outer authorities perceived values.
The first step in overcoming this inner dialogue is recognizing it. Start to pay attention to your thoughts—especially when you feel a sense of shame or self-doubt. When you hear those negative thoughts, remind yourself that they are not the truth; they are only half a perception of you. You are much more than this bias lopsided perception of yourself.
Releasing the “Not Good Enough” Story
The “not good enough” narrative often takes root in our lives due to past experiences, failures, or unmet expectations. But here’s the truth: your worth isn’t determined by the past, and it’s certainly not defined by comparing yourself to others.
When we live in alignment with our values and compare ourselves only to our most inspired vision, we naturally step into a state of authenticity. In these moments, we are good enough. We operate from our deepest truth and resonate with our most powerful self.
However, when we compare ourselves to others who hold different values, we may feel “not good enough.” This is a natural feedback from our autonomic nervous system and central nervous system, alerting us that we’re out of alignment with our true self. It’s a reminder to reconnect with our deepest authenticity and stop striving for someone else’s vision.
Practicing The Demartini Method Weekly
One of the most effective ways to overcome feelings of unworthiness is by practicing The Demartini Method. This powerful tool helps you transform past imbalanced traumas and unresolved emotions into balanced, emotionally loving states. In a structured and considerate process, The Demartini Method allows you to restore emotional balance, transcend volatility, and replace it with love, gratitude, grace, appreciation, and personal power.
Rather than pushing away painful experiences, this method helps you embrace them in a way that nurtures emotional healing. By balancing our emotional states, we build our self-worth, increasing our ability to love and appreciate ourselves—every part of us, our lives, and even what we may have considered “failures.” The more we practice emotional balance, the more we expand our ability to love ourselves unconditionally. This creates a cycle of self-love, which strengthens our sense of worth and empowerment.
Do What You Value
Maximizing your self-worth begins when you start living in alignment with your unique values. When your actions reflect what truly resonates with you, you experience a sense of fulfillment, energy, and vitality that elevates your sense of self.
Living according to your values means focusing on what you love and care about, and dedicating time to those things. The more you center your life around your values, the greater the degree of appreciation and inspiration you feel. It's about getting clear on your most inspired vision and mission, and investing your time and energy in serving that purpose.
Living authentically allows you to build a life full of purpose, and the more you live in line with your values, the more you can love and appreciate yourself. When you align your life with your true purpose, you create space for self-love, self-respect, and self-worth to grow.
The Truth About Self-Worth
Here’s the most important truth to remember: Self-worth is not something you have to earn. It’s not about meeting societal standards or winning external approval. Worth is something that is already inside you, just waiting to be realized.
You are inherently worthy, just as you are. The key is to stop seeking validation from external sources and instead turn inward, embracing the truth that your worth is inherent, eternal, and unshakable. Once you begin to embody this truth, your entire perspective on life—and yourself—will shift.
Conclusion
Loving yourself, especially in moments of feeling unlovable, is a powerful practice that begins with awareness, unconditional love, and healing. By identifying your inner critic, reframing imbalanced perceptions, and engaging in practices of self-love like The Demartini Method, you can begin to cultivate a deep sense of self-love that doesn’t depend on external validation.
Remember, your worth isn't earned; it’s simply realized. And as you embrace this truth, your life will transform in ways you never thought possible.
The world will benefit from the love you give yourself first. Feel free to explore these practices and share your journey with others who may be in need of healing and self-love. You are worthy of love, just as you are.
