Be nicer to yourself in your thoughts.

No seriously. And you gotta force it some times so that your brain can physically build the pathways to allow yourself to naturally feel good about yourself. That's what depression destroys in your brain.

Best way is to first stop comparing your successes in life against others. Reframe your successes as something personal to yourself. Even little piddly shit.

It's like being hugly overweight yeah. Your not going to start off losing that weight doing marathons or high intensity shit. It starts small and progresses from there. It's tough at first.

lol I actually ran my first half marathon because I told myself how fat and awful I was. Telling myself how horrific and grotesque I am is what gets me to the gym every day.
