3 Ways to Instantly Feel Better About Yourself
[image error]Give Yourself the Credit You Deserve. If you don’t no one else will. Think about the times during the day when you are telling yourself, “you didn’t do it right,” or “you could have done more” etc. When you spot this type of negative thinking, change the channel. Say to yourself, for example, “I made a mistake but I’m learning. Next time I will know better.” Or “Yes, I could have done more but tomorrow is another day.”
Don’t take on someone else’s opinion of you. Nobody will ever “get” you like you know yourself. And everyone has their own agenda. They may be jealous of you, or don’t understand where you are coming from. Take what they say with a grain of salt, unless you know there is some real truth in it (you'll know if what they say sounds familiar and you've known you should be looking into it).
Act “as If” you feel better than you do. Use mantras or positive affirmations. Yes, feel your feelings but don’t let them rule your day. You can “act yourself into right thinking.” I love this affirmation and use it at times: “I am enough, do enough, have enough.” Isn’t that the truth, even when we don't quite believe it?
I look forward to practicing these tips with you. I need constant reminders to do this too!
