step one
look in the mirror
pick out every flaw
point out every little thing that bugs you about you.
step two
think about a person you love
think about how many flaws you see in them
how many? a few big ones, mostly about things they say and do
not about how they look, right?
step three
now imagine you are that person
imagine that you are looking at yourself through their eyes
remember how many flaws you saw in them
acknowledge that the few things you saw in them
are the few things they see in you
step four
realize that through their eyes
you're just as beautiful to them
as they are to you.
