How I did it:  At one stage  of my life  i was "the best thing to ever happen" to someone. ...He eventually broke my heart and when he came to my home a year later and declared that i had been the best thing to ever happen to him and asked if i would go back to him i had a distinct moment of clarity where i could clearly see how i had actually LET myself be treated in this relationship. He didn't  do it to me...i let him do it. I think that's what hurt the most....
 From here i decided to be the best thing to ever happen to myself. Step up in my own life, say what i think i deserve, ask for things, expect respect....from myself. Basically treat yourself like your best friend.

Listen.
 with courage and acceptance.Let go, embrace, celebrate the good things.

Its really hard not to sound "fluffy" but there was so much to it and everyone is different. It comes down to living in truth, in integrity , making good choices for you, being brave to make those choices and stand up for yourself, even if it doesn't feel comfortable, even if it isn't as easy as you think it should be.
 Take time out to reflect and listen to your heart and whats happening around you. It's too easy to distract yourself and ignore what you are feeling. Being still can be uncomfortable but it is truly awarding.
 Start to believe the compliments people give you!  Imagine what it would be like  to good friends  with yourself!
Don't take yourself too seriously! 
Imagine
your journey full of love, grace and laughter.
