Hi, I’m not an expert by any means, but I don’t think you’ll just be able to say “I love myself” and it’ll be true forever and ever. I think it’s a process and it sounds you’re on the right track. Some days will be harder than others, but lots of people who study it or write about it say that love is an action. As long as you’re making that effort for yourself, relaxing into who you are, I think you’ll just realize you love yourself, without having to ask. It shows in your actions towards yourself that you do.
