WAYS TO BE GOOD TO YOURSELF

1. Fill your body with food and drink that
nourishes it and makes it thrive.
2. Move that gorgeous body of yours every
single day and learn to love the skin you’re in.
You can’t hate your way into loving yourself.

3. Don’t believe everything you think. There is
an inner critic inside of us trying to keep us
small and safe. The downside is this also stops
us from living a full life. Get in touch with your
inner dialogue. If it’s anything less than
loving, encouraging and supportive, it’s time
to make a change. You deserve to be spoken to
in the same way you would speak to your best
friend, sister, brother, daughter, or son.

4. Surround yourself with people who love and
encourage you. Let them remind you just how
amazing you are.

5. Stop the comparisons. There is no one on
this planet like you, so you cannot fairly
compare yourself to someone else. The only
person you should compare yourself to is you.

6. End all toxic relationships. Seriously.
Anyone who makes you feel anything less than
amazing doesn’t deserve to be a part of your
life.

7. Celebrate your wins no matter how big or
small. Pat yourself on the back and be proud
of what you have achieved.

8. Step outside of your comfort zone and try
something new. It’s incredible the feeling we
get when we realize we have achieved
something we didn’t know or think we could
do before.

9. Embrace and love the things that make you
different. This is what makes you special.

10. Realize that beauty cannot be defined. It is
what you see it as. Don’t let any of those
Photoshopped magazines make you feel like
your body isn’t perfect. Even those models
don’t look like that in real life.

11. Take time out to calm your mind every day.
Breathe in and out, clear your mind of your
thoughts and just be.

12. Follow your passion. You know that thing
that gets you so excited but scares you at the
same time. The thing you really want to do but
have convinced yourself it won’t work. You
should go do that!

13. Be patient but persistent. Self-love is ever
evolving. It’s something that needs to be
practiced daily but can take a lifetime to
master. So be kind and support yourself
through the hard times.

14. Treat others with love and respect. It
makes us feel better about ourselves when we
treat others the way we hope to be treated.
That doesn’t mean everybody will always
repay the favor, but that’s their problem not
yours.

15. Find something to be grateful for every
day. It’s inevitable that you are going to have
your down days. This is fine and very human
of you. It’s especially important on these days
to find at least one thing you are grateful for
as it helps to shift your mind and energy
around what’s going on.

16. Reach out to family, friends, healers,
whomever you need to help you through the
tough times. You are not expected to go
through them alone.

17. Learn to say no. Saying no sometimes
doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you
a smart person.

18. Forgive yourself. You know that thing you
did one time (or maybe a few times) that
made you feel bad, embarrassed, ashamed?
It’s time to let that go. You can’t change the
things you have done in the past but you can
control your future. Look at it as a learning
experience and believe in your ability to
change.

19. Give up the need for approval from others.
“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the
world, and there’s still going to be somebody
who hates peaches.” – Dita Von Teese

20. Be realistic. There is no person on this
earth that is happy every single moment of
every single day. You know why? Because we
are all human. We make mistakes, we feel
emotions (good and bad) and this is OK. Allow
yourself to be human.

21. Let go of past trauma and wounds. This
can be a really tough one and it may be one
of those times you need to turn to others for
support. The truth is though, when we let go
of things that have happened to us it’s almost
like a weight is lifted off our shoulders. We
don’t have to carry that around with us
anymore. We deserve better.
Have fun! Get out there and do the things that
light your fire.
Enjoy them, enjoy being you and enjoy your
incredible life.
