Accept your imperfections and embrace the following practices: • Create the intention to trust your heart implicitly. • Be grateful for being the person you are. Appreciate your strengths and talents. • Develop your skills and talents, out of which will come self-confidence and happiness. If you have a real feeling for doing or making something, pursue that, work on it, and improve it. • Be kind to yourself. Make it a habit to articulate positive thoughts about yourself, so that everything you do is supported by the universe. Stop saying negative things about yourself. • Do a kindness every day for someone else. • Try not to worry too much. Worrying rarely solves problems. It just takes you away from the beauty life offers. If you are prone to worry, get physically active. Take a walk. Exercise. Do yoga. Moving your body helps clear your mind.”
