BE A BETTER YOU
This might just help u in more ways than one :)
Each of us must work continually on maintaining our positive and healthy self-image. The following behaviour traits are evidence that there is room for improvement in our self image --
*jelousy
*negative talk about ourselves
*experiencing guilt
*failure to give compliments
*non-acceptance of compliments
*not taking our own needs into account
*not asking for what we want
*starving ourselves of luxuries unecessarily
*failure to give affection
*inability to recieve and enjoy affection
*criticsm of others
*comparison of ourselves with others
*constant poor health
Here are some suggestions for things you can do to boost the way you feel about yourself ---
*accept compliments - always say thank you or words to the effect.
*give compliments - one of the easiest ways to feel goood about ourselves is to recognize the beauty in others.
*always speak well of yourself - if you have nothing good to say about yourself, keep your mouth shut!
*praise yourself - when u do something right, give yourself a pat on the back. acknowledge your value.
*seperate your behaviour from yourself - realise that your behaviour is not connected to your self-worth. if you do something silly, like smash into
another person's car, it doesn't make you a bad person. you simply made a mistake. (LOVE THE SINNER, HATE THE SIN)
*treat your body well - it is the only one you have got. everything we do affects everything else.
*let people know how you expect to be treated - in particular, set an example by the way you treat yourself and them. nobody should accept any abuse from anybody.
*get around good people
*work at having pleasure without guilt
*always picture in your mind how u want to be, not how you are!
