I've hated myself for many years. I try to internally and consciously point out things I did well or things I like in life. Eventually it's created a large-scale habit of knowing positivities in myself.

I've got a long way to go before I'm happy but there's very notable progress, at least in my case.

You gotta couple it with things like working out/being more active. Changing your environment externally as well as internally is essential.

The only way you'll truly know is by trying anyway. That being said, it takes a while to change a habit (estimated 21 days by most places). Even then, old habits die hard. Depending on the type of habit it is and how many other things it's coupled with (your identity, paired behaviors, familiar settings and stimuli), it can resurface and require attention once more. Change in many aspects of life is possible, it's the diligence and commitment that people have trouble with. A lot of your self talk may even go on beneath the surface after treading the same path for so long. Open yourself up to new experiences, take a chance on actually considering yourself a worthwhile human being and you may be surprised looking back on yourself from the other side.

This.

Thinking positively can give you the drive you need to do things you feel proud of and accomplished for having done. These accomplishments will expand the amount of positive thoughts you can have.

It's a cycle of positivity.

That EFT thing is a meme, at the very best a convinient placebo.

Or cheat, become an embittered spiteful misanthrope, and just turn all that hatred and resentment inward, until you loathe yourself so much you'll do whatever it takes to be a different person, even if just to spite yourself.
