Building a sense of self worth. You are worthy of loving and being loved. You don't have to do anything to be worthy. You are made of love, and if you do nothing you are Still worthy. I know this to be true, but the trick is to build this knowledge for yourself brick by brick, or it won't hold. So, let's begin to build, or add on to what you've already got.
Why are you loveable?
What do you love about yourself? (Is that the deep end? If it is, start with what do you love?) Gather some facts, interests, hobbies, these are the outward expressions of who you are. Do you get a sense of a Being doing the crafting? Do you sense a deep part of you grappeling with the complex feelings that come with raising a child, or falling in love. You are the remarkable being that can contain all this love, this inginuity, and has taken the brave experiment to live. Start by acknowledging when you smile, who you connect to, and what you love. These are small mirrors that reflect a part of you that you love. If you didn't share that same quality, it wouldn't resonate and call forth the feeling of love. Begin to let that love come back to you for you. You are your first love. Everyone else will come second, and that is the way it must be becasue if there is not love in your heart you can not offer it to someone else.
