That is different for everybody.
Let me suggest one method. If it works, great. If it doesn't, it doesn't cost anything to try something different.
Make this list of three question. You can use those, or you can choose different ones. It can also be more than three, but make it three, five or seven.
1.) What am I proud of?
2.) What do I enjoy?
3.) Whom do I love and who is allowed to love me?
Write these questions down and put them beside your bed. Every morning you wake up, have a look at these questions and think of at least one positive answer to each question.
It may be difficult initially. But it may also become easier over time. You may believe that you need to repeat old answers at some point. But when I did this I found that I surprised myself with new, creative answers. Once you are satisfied for a day, let go and don't consciously think about the answers anymore.
Do this for the next 30 days. Then report back how you feel.
