How to Appreciate Yourself

How to Appreciate Yourself

1. Be careful about comparing yourself to other people. Sometimes that can make you feel good or even inspire you to improve in some way, but sometimes it can make you overlook what’s truly good about yourself and cause you to feel bad.

2. Think about times when you’ve done something good. Include those times when you’ve made a difference to somebody else by being helpful, kind, or thoughtful.

3. Take part in activities that make you feel good such as hobbies, reading, sports, or spending time with good friends.

4. Don’t be so afraid of failing that you are not willing to try something new. New experiences can help you grow and discover wonderful new things about yourself.

5. When you do fail at something, don’t get down on yourself. Think about what you can learn from the experience and how you can do better next time.

6. Think about things you do well. Take pride in your successes.

7. Remember, the most important thing about people is what we’re like inside, not what we own or what we’ve accomplished.
