To Feel Good About Yourself

  • Be true to yourself. Forget what everyone else thinks. So, be honest, even if it costs too much. you wil be rewarded with a guilt free heart and the (eventual) respect that comes from speaking the truth.
  • Accept and pay compliments. One of the easiest ways to feel good about yourself is to see the beauty present in others.
  • Nip jealousy in the bud. It not only corrupts the mind, but also causes ill-will towards the person you are jealous.
  • Praise yourself - give yourself a pat on the back when you've done something well.
  • Unplanned behaviour is not connected to your self-worth. Remember, if you've done something silly, it doesn't make you a bad person. Consider where and how you went wrong, and make sure you dont commit the same mistake twice.
  • Dont procrasitnate. Whether it's housework or an apology you owe someone, get it done. Procrastination is like a grey cloud that looms above, casting a shadow over everything and everyone you deal with .
  • Compartmentallise. This means that when there is a problem, find a solution to it as soon as possible and then learn to separate it in your mind. Don't let a dark spot colour your whole day black.
  • Treat your body well. Remember, it's the only one you have.
  • Stay around good people and people who are better than you. You will always learn from them.
  • Read inspirational books.
  • Let people know how you expect to be treated. Set an example by the way you treat yourself.
  • Learn to forgive. This includes yourself and others.
  • Dont be afraid to dream. Picture in your mind what and how you want to be.
  • And , lastly, think happy and positive thoughts.
