Out of all the people in our lives, we are our worst critics sometimes. While it is great to stay grounded, we must make sure that we aren’t underestimating our own self-worth. Here are three golden rules to have a positive self-image!

 

• Focus on the good.

List down all the things you feel make you good. It’s important not to be your own bully and not nitpick too much on the things that you think are negative aspects of your personality. Accept your flaws and imperfections, and love yourself for who you are in spite of them.

 

• Be kind.

A kind tone resonates well when you talk to people – including yourself. You deserve to be treated well as much as anyone else. Make the criticisms you address yourself with constructive and give yourself room for improvement. Accept the compliments you get graciously, instead of feeling like you don’t deserve them.

 

• Cut yourself some slack.

Every single thing you do isn’t required to be done to please others. Don’t wait for validation from someone else – believe in the efforts that you put into your work. Stand up for yourself, because otherwise, who will?

Follow these simple rules to look in the mirror and see someone you love. Do comment below and share with us the things you do to feel good about yourself!
