Just use your imagination (as best you can) Imagine that you can feel it intensified. It doesn't matter if it has or hasn't the conscious mind doesn't always hook up that well with what is going on non-consciously. Just accept that because you imagined it intensified it has.
As for self love - think of self acceptance or self appreciation. There are good things you do for other people that mean you deserve the appreciation you get from them. Well give yourself the same reward, Let the conscious mind hear self-love and think self acceptance.
