Be Nice.
Be Kind.
Be Gentle.
Appreciate you. Appreciate your unique place in this world. Appreciate your flaws, your wrinkles, your belly, your pimples and dimples – whatever it is that you see when you look in the mirror, learn to like and love that person.
In order to feel as content as we possibly can, we must be nice, kind and gentle with ourselves. We can start to do this in a variety of ways. We might, for example, stop ourselves from saying something negative. We might catch ourselves thinking negatively and challenge the unhelpful thought or we might allow ourselves to take a risk and make a mistake. One sure-fire way to improve our relationship with ourselves is to create appreciation.
Build a loving relationship with you.
Write down three things every day that you appreciate about you. It doesn’t have to be anything big or out of the ordinary – just that you did something well. Be thankful for the ordinary and mundane things in life, the things we take for granted.
When you force yourself to think positively about yourself every day, it soon it becomes a habit and you learn to see you in more positive light. The more you do this and the more consistent you are, the easier it becomes!
