Tips to boost your self-image



Never let how others think, talk or what they do, It is only you who can define how you choose to love and accept who you are; ignore what other people think or talk about you. Be true to yourself and trust in your own beauty and uniqueness. Spend less time worrying about how another perceives you.

The expectation created by the Media on the beauty and sexiness of a woman is nothing more than a learned behaviour. Throw out all of those so called beauty magazines. Why continue to fall into the Media’s traps of their view on what beauty is.

 Food is not the enemy. The enemy is you allowing the perceptions of others on what healthy or not healthy food are, to dictate to you – you must decide for yourself what to eat and what not to eat.

A positive self-image is vital to our own reflection, as we will never be able to see ourselves through another person’s eyes, only our own.

 The first thing to do in the morning when you wake up is to have a nice stretch – you will feel immensely good. After a good stretch, say to yourself: “I am UNIQUE, I am SPECIAL, and I am STRONG!

Take a long look at yourself in the mirror, the first thing you will see is the imperfections. Do not worry, just keep looking and after a while those imperfections will slowly become a familiar beauty.

Go through your wardrobe and replace all of those way too tight pants and low rise jeans for a style that your body type looks best in.

Embrace your age. Remember it is aging that allows you to continue to grow and experience life.

Spend less time reading negative articles and more time reading positive information that will make you feel good about you.

Get rid of as much stress as you can. You will be surprised at how much better and how much easier it becomes when you remove one stressful thing a day!

Make time for forty winks during the day.  Resting your mind and body is essential in gaining strength to carry you throughout life’s daily challenges.

Make time for exercising.  Feel that adrenaline rush like it fresh water running down your body, draining all the stress.

Take a long bath; it will make you feel more renewed.

Take up meditation. Meditation is a whole new world and a very effective relaxation strategy. You will be able to cleanse the mind through learning relaxation techniques as well as the stress levels.

Make time for reading. Reading is where the mind can subconsciously be freed from the realities that stress us out.

Take a few minutes to pat yourself on your back for the good things that you accomplished today.

Work on balancing all of your emotions. Try to feel more positive than negative about the small stuff.

Be your best friend. You are responsible for your own happiness.

Smile and be you, a very unique you, a very special you.

If you can feel the sunshine and the rain on your face, the wind blow through your hair, you are alive! So live.

Remember that only through your failures can you find success.

When you compare yourself with another, you are in-fact abusing yourself by destructing your own self-worth and self-esteem!

To envy another is a symptom of low self-esteem and solely disrespects your own uniqueness. Envy no one but yourself.

You are what you think you are. How you are thinking right now will determine the outcome of the rest of your day, so think POSITIVE.

Be that beautiful, vibrant woman – you are special, you are truly WOMAN!
