Is there anyway I can make myself believe something?

How can I make myself believe something, like if I wanted to raise my self esteem and I currently do not feel good enough is it about telling myself? im doing something right enough times? I have repeated things I want to belive in and I still do not belive in them. What should I do?

I would gently suggest replacing negative thoughts NOT with positive thoughts but with facts and then realistic thoughts and then action.

Example: "I am so fat and disgusting" Replacement: I have gained weight and need to improve my health and well being. I have lost weight in the past. This is do-able and achievable. > Make a plan to emphasis better eating choices and prioritize movement.

When you take responsibility for your health, well being/happiness you re-frame your thinking and you feel powerful (less dependent on others or things to give you gratification)

I hope this makes sense 😊
