    5 Ways to Feel Better About Yourself

    Aug 16, 2021 by Ali · Leave a Comment

    Colab post

    We are often our own worst enemy, letting pesky little thoughts bring us down!

    The fact is, we’re usually harder on ourselves than we are on anyone else. Would you be as critical towards your friends or family as you are to yourself? Of course not!

    2021 should be the year you start to focus on your own self-care, silence negative and put yourself first for the future. In that spirit, here are just five simple things that you can do to start feeling better.

    Be Your Own Cheerleader

    Do you spend more time focusing on the negative without reflecting on the positives? This mindset will seriously impact your quest to feel good.

    It’s easy to remember the bad things – how many times have you had a conversation and thought ‘why did I say that?’. These thoughts can plague you days, months or years after the moment of embarrassment!

    To try and combat this ultimate feeling of regret that often leaves us lying awake at night, take a moment each evening to list three things that you did well that day. Dedicate more time to thinking about what went right!  

    Get More Sleep

    Sleep is one of the most underrated additions to your self-care routine.

    Never underestimate the power of an early night. A better sleep schedule can have incredible health benefits such as boosting your immune system and increasing your heart’s health.

    The morning sun is particularly rude in the summer months, waking us up long before we’re ready, so pick up a sleep mask so you can keep light pollution at bay.

    Boost Your Self-Confidence

    Boosting your confidence is easier said than done, but there are simple changes you can make to improve your self-esteem.

    These may be significant physical changes, such as straightening your smile with the help of Portman Clear Brace Group. Alternatively, a wardrobe overhaul and fresh haircut can put the spring back in your step.

    And remember – positive affirmations are far better than repeating self-deprecating thoughts and feelings.

    Manage Your Stress

    This sounds a lot harder than it actually needs to be. Stress gets to us all at some time or another.

    There are services out there that you can use to aid in managing your stress. Would you believe there’s an app for that?

    Finding effective stress management techniques is a great way to improve your general health and wellbeing.

    Dress Comfortably

    High heels are not for everyone! Don’t feel like you have to force your feet into a pair if they aren’t comfortable for you.

    They say that beauty is pain, but it shouldn’t be. We’ve all gotten used to working in slippers, and while this might not be practical for venturing outside, you should always dress in clothes that you feel comfy in. You’ll feel so much better for it!

    These are just five ways that you can feel better about yourself, but they’re just the tip of the iceberg. Share any advice you have in the comments below!
