Develop habits to eliminate bad feelings. When you are awake in the morning, always keep saying,” this day is going to be the best one.”Work for it
Avoid social media
Researchers have found that people who use social media are directly open to stress, anxiety, and depression. Not everyone, but most of them may affect social media. How can social media affect us badly?
We may compare our lives with someone else. Other parties may upload photos or videos of their celebrations, social gathering, and other fun activities. But if we live alone, those pictures or videos may become a shock to us. We call this a toxic comparison. What we have to understand is, the things they put on social media are only showing the surface of their lives. They may also face troubles deeply. We only see what they want us to see.
Just avoid Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest, or whatever for a few days. You will feel much better. Try setting goals. First, you can try to avoid social media for three days. Then four or 5. Likewise, you can increase the day count. The more you avoid them, you will be able to stop hating yourself.
Forgive yourself
Most of us forget this part. The mistakes we have made may result in self-hatred. It will hunt us and burn us from the inside. We will start to hate ourselves by thinking, “I am always wrong. I can’t do anything properly.”
First, understand why you made those mistakes, why you have failed before. Learn from those mistakes and ensure that those will not happen again and again. Every mistake can give us knowledge and lesson. We become more knowledgeable when we made mistakes.
See the silver line of each mistake. Understand how much knowledge you gain from doing things wrong. None of us is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. So why you keep hurting yourself by thinking about those again and again. Forgive yourself. It will help you to stop hating yourself.
Make friends
I am sure that this will be the best way to stop self-hatred. Learn how to become a good friend. A friend can help to save our souls. When we are with them, we won’t have time to hate ourselves. Also, friendship can bring happiness to our lives.
Don’t try to isolate yourself. Just walk outside and make new friends. Attend their parties, travel with them, help them, and ask them to help you. If you have good friends on your side, they will obviously save you when you are in danger.
Meditations
You can meditate yourself, or you can participate in programs. Both will help you to stop hating yourself by becoming more aware of negative feelings. I suggest you meditate programs. It will teach you to abut negative emotions and how to overcome them. With that, you will be able to study negative feelings rather than affecting them.
If you cannot participate in meditate programs, you can download and install meditation application on your mobile. Those provide steps to meditate well and calm music. There is no special place or particular time to meditate. You can do it every day at any time.

Avoid alcohol
To stop hating yourself, you have to stop your connection with alcohol. We may feel that alcohol can give us more peace in our minds. But the reality is, it brings more unfortunate situations. A person will mental illness may drink too much, and drinking too much can also bring mental illnesses.
Drinking directly affect our sleeping patterns and energy level. It breaks down our regular life. So if you are drinking to forget your negative mindset, please stop it now.
