Self-esteem booster: ten ways to love yourself
You weren’t born perfect, nobody is. But you can do something to make your life much better than what the average individual experiences. The people who are happiest with their lives are those who can learn to love themselves as they are.
Here are some suggestions on how to get on that pedestal and laugh at negative energy.
Pay yourself a compliment
Give yourself a compliment at least once a day. It could be something like “I really liked the way I handled that situation” or “I love how my hair falls gently on my face today.” The compliment can be deep or superficial. Whatever it is, it should help keep your mood, even if it’s just a little bit. Highlight the positive in every situation you encounter. If you practice this often, you will be on your way to liking yourself a lot more.
Make yourself
Grab your closest friend and dress up. Put on your best looks, apply some makeup and get your hair done (not necessarily by a professional), then grab a camera and take fun, fun photos of each other. Once you’ve printed your photos, discard any that make it look drab and keep only the photos where it looked its best. Whenever you feel depressed, you can look at these photos to remind yourself that you are handsome and that your life is fun.
Get physically fit
You don’t need to achieve a physical supermodel. Simple daily exercises to stimulate your bloodstream every morning will suffice. You will feel better, your mood will be more positive, and you will be more personable with other people. If you emit positive energy, the more beautiful you become, and more people will be inclined to return positive vibes to you as well.
Change your body image
If there’s something about your body that you don’t like, find out what makes you smile. Most likely the reasons are very superficial and superficial. Doing so will help you achieve a better self-image and teach you to appreciate yourself more.
Treat yourself
Set aside time once a week to do something just for yourself. It can be anything from watching a cheesy movie to walking your dog in the park. Whenever it is time for you to do what you want to do.
Wear nice underwear
This sounds silly, but it works! Wearing really cute panties makes you feel better and much more confident to stand up to others. Don’t you believe this? Try it!
List your positives
Without looking in the mirror, make a list of all the things you appreciate and like about your body, things like “I have great hair” or “I have good teeth.” Keep this list in your wallet or where you can see them and when you feel bad, just take this list out and read it yourself.
Travel
Ask some of your best friends to spend a day out of town with you. Pack a delicious snack and spend the day fishing or hiking, or whatever suits your interests. A day outdoors is sure to give you a boost of energy and make you feel good about yourself.
Stay away from people who look down on you
You know these kinds of people. They simply cannot bear the fact that you agree with your life and will always try to lower your mood. Avoid them at all costs, because they will never make you feel good about yourself.
Do a good deed
Do something nice for someone else. You’ll find that things like volunteering at a homeless shelter or even something as simple as helping someone who is lost by giving them proper instructions will make you feel good for the rest of the day. You will be doing something worthwhile and when you see how bad some people are, you will begin to appreciate your life more and be grateful for what you have.
