1. Change your self-talk

Start to notice what you are saying to yourself, it may surprise you how often you say unkind things, allow yourself to observe these thoughts, and not judge yourself for having them. Ask yourself if a friend was talking to themselves in such a way, what would you say to them? Or ask yourself if you’d speak to anyone else like this? Try and focus on one thing you appreciate about yourself each day, the more you practice this, the easier it will become.

2. Be around people who lift you up

Find yourself a beautiful support network, say no to people who are toxic or bring you down, and spend time with those who bring you joy, doing things that bring you joy. Make room for the people an things that make you shine, feel happy and feel whole.

3. Practice gratitude

Every morning or evening write down some notes on what you are grateful for, this can be things in your life, or things about yourself, appreciate the qualities that make you uniquely you. This will allow you to start showing up daily to shine some light on your amazing qualities.

4. Embrace your uniqueness

Comparing yourself to others won’t make you feel good about yourself, because we are all different, and all on our own journeys, and life isn’t a race. Focus instead on being the person that you want to become, once you define your own version off success, achieving it becomes much easier.

5. Care more about what you think, than about what others think

People who insult others, usually do it because they feel insecure within themselves, the best thing you can do is focus on how you feel about yourself and not the opinions of others, ask yourself what is at the heart of wanting to please other people. Learn who to trust, if you want to pay attention to what others think, pick your trusted advisors wisely.
