SELF LOVE PAPER

Step 1: Think of some weaknesses, fears or anxieties, thought processes or emotional responses pertaining to present, or future situations, events, people (including yourself) and relationships. Somethings you would like to change your cognitions and thought processes about.

Step 2: Take time to write down what your internal dialogue is regarding the above mentioned factors (what you usually tell yourself when they arise).

Step 3: Now try to assume a role of your Best Friend (Lover, family member, someone you are in love with or deeply care about) and reverse the roles. If your best friend, family member, someone you are in love with or deeply care about came to you and opened up about exact same feelings, what would you tell them and why?

Step 4: Write down at least 5 characteristics (you can write more than 5 but not less). First you will write your anxieties and what you tell yourself in those situations, then assume a role of above mentioned person(s) and write a response they would give you in those situations.
