#1. Truly love yourself!!!

Have you heard of the importance of loving yourself? Everything about being happy and confident is talking about it. Now you eat, sleep, and have fun because you love yourself, you want yourself to live and enjoy. You are reading this page because you love yourself and want yourself to be happier. That is the very basics and every one loves themselves, but it is not enough. You have to truly love yourself, and accept yourself as you are before starting anything else. Without this you don't even stand a chance of being happy or confident. You have to love your looks, your personality, everything about you. Realize that you are lovable person - be happy to be you.  Remember, we should be strict with ourselves only when trying to accomplish goals, but not when we are evaluating ourselves. Here are some exercises you can do to help yourself realize how good you are. You can start one by one, don't try to do everything at once - that is the reason why people give up easily. 

Exercise 1: Right now, write down 10 good things about your looks, and 10 good things about your personality, and 10 good things about the things you can do (more the better). It doesn't have to be big. Be kind with yourself. And read it out loud as many times as possible. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or every week etc.

If you can't find, you are not thinking hard enough. Ask from the people who loves what good qualities you have. And again, don't be harsh on yourself. Good points don't have to be perfect. If you can play basketball, say it. (Do NOT think that I am not that good, so it is not really my good point) Every time you read it again, try to add something. You will find the list get longer as you continue it for a long time.

Exercise 2: Every morning when you wake up and every evening before you sleep, look at yourself in the mirror for 1 minute and feel how pretty you are, and send love to yourself and hug yourself. I know it sounds embarrassing, but you will get used to it. When you say that kind of thing to yourself, you send those good messages to your subconscious mind, and eventually you will truly believe it. That is what loving yourself is. And don't ever say bad things about yourself even as a joke. NEVER. Jokes like "oh, i am so stupid", "oh, i am such an idiot" affect slowly without you realizing it. 


Keep doing it, and never stop. Make it your habit. The key here is to always believe that you are a lovable person, and feel it all the time. Every time when you look at mirror, every time you talk to others - always feel it. You are a lovable person. Once you start loving yourself, you will feel others are loving you too. However, others are not who you want to be loved by, it is you who want to be loved by. Love yourself, and never be affected by people who don't like you because there are always those people no matter how good you are.
