I've started a self-love morning exercise that I've done every day since January 3rd, this year. Maybe you might find it useful. It's fairly easy to do, and can give you some decent insights on how to love yourself more.
The exercise:
Your task is to write six to ten endings for four sentence stems related to Self-Love.
This is an example of a sentence stem:
Self-Love to me means ... In the morning, before proceeding to the day’s business, write this down in a notebook or on the computer, then, as rapidly as possible, without pausing for reflection, write as many endings for that sentence as you can in two or three minutes – never less than six, and ten is enough. Do not worry if your endings are literally true or make sense or are “profound.” Write anything, but write something.
After doing six to ten endings for the first stem, go on to the morning’s next stem, and continue until all the morning’s stems are finished.
When you are finished with the morning’s stems, proceed with your day’s business. Do this exercise every morning. Do not read what you wrote the day before. Naturally there will be many repetitions. But also, new endings are inevitable.
The trick is to work as rapidly as possible, not pausing to “think,” inventing if you get stuck, without worrying if any particular ending is true, reasonable, or significant. Any ending is fine: Just keep going.
When doing sentence completions, the idea is to empty your mind of any expectations concerning what will happen or what is “supposed” to happen. Do not impose any demands on the situation. Try to empty your mind of anticipations. Do the exercise, go about your day’s activities, and merely notice any differences in how you feel or how you operate.
Below are the sentence stems that you do each morning:
Self-Love to me means ...
Self-Hatred to me means ...
If I bring more Self-Love into my life ...
One of the things I can do to love myself more today is ...

I hope this helps you.
