To live a wonderful life, you have to first love yourself against all odds.

Practicing self-love helps you through the toughest situation a long as you don't become conceited. To live a wonderful life, you have to first love yourself against all odds and be good to yourself.

Banu Sekendur of YourTango lists a few ways to loving yourself exclusively:

Choose You: Choosing ourselves, even if it means upsetting others and not being popular anymore. Even if it means we leave a party before anyone else because we feel tired, overwhelmed, or just plain feel done with the crowd.

Be True: Telling what is true for us, not swallowing words that express what we truly feel, think, or want to do.

Treat Your Body Well: Giving our body the nurturing, rest, exercise, and comfort it needs to the best of our ability.

Wear Clothes That Make You Feel Good: Wearing clothes that make us feel good and fit our personality instead of wearing clothes that are in fashion that we use to impress others.

Build A Life You Love: Building a life that we love while we are single instead of waiting for our prince/princess to show up to explore life and to be happy.

Accept The Good And The Bad: Accepting ourselves with the good, the bad, the ugly, the sexy, and the smelly — all of it — and appreciating ourselves as whole people.

Make Time: Making time to do whatever we love, just to play, without worrying about wasting time.

Own Your Beauty: Owning our inner and outer beauty and complimenting ourselves without feeling guilty, arrogant, or entitled.

Don't Look Back: Not rehashing our past mistakes and dragging ourselves to a dark place when we know that we can only learn from the past; we can't change it.

Spend Time With Yourself: Spending some quality, connected time with ourselves instead of always watching TV or wasting time on the Internet.
