Life can be a very lonely and isolating journey. Because of this one fact, your relationship with yourself is the key to how your life turns out.

Despite being the most impactful figure in our lives, we tend to mistreat ourselves. Many of us have damaged our relationship with ourselves, leading to self-neglect, self-hate, and a lack of compassion - I know I did for a really long time.

To mend this relationship, here are 4 simple yet powerful strategies:

1. Give Yourself Undivided Attention

2. Meet Your Needs in Real Time

3. Don't Withhold Praise

4. Validate Your Feelings
