Practice self approval:
If you see yourself wanting to be someone else, wanting approval by other people...STOP
"You can take away the power of others to approve you if you appropriate that power for yourself. You don't need anyone else's approval but your own."
That doesn't mean that you can take someones compliment but learn to compliment youself.
Accept whole yourself, love yourself.Try not to have a negative self image:
Example: "I will never be good enough" " I don't deserve good things" When people critize you over the years, you start to critize yourself. You start to believe that is who you are. You can be beautiful, intelligent, smart, brilliant but if you have low self esteem and a constant negative talk, you will act according to that. The way you carry yourself, people can detect that.
Try not compare yourself :
This is one of the hardest especially when we live in a world where social media has taken power over our lives. "These images are meant to sell us, but the way they sell us is by making us feel insecure about ourselves, and then needing whatever it is that the celebrities are selling us in order for us to be as good as them."
Comparing your looks, social status, money, what they are doing, how much fun their doing, what they spend their money on, they having a balenciaga bag and you no. Comparing yourself can harm you. A christmas tree has different colors but that doesn't mean that the blue one is way more beautiful than the red one, everyone has their own beauty. Just because you consider that an Instagram girl is more beautiful than you, that doesn't mean that you yourself don't have your own beauty.
Have you ever thought about...?
"Be happy that they're having fun, be joyful for their successes. They're on a completely different path from you, and they can be happy and have a great time and you can too, on your own path. Wish everyone well, but see their awesomeness as different from yours."
Develop trust in the process:
Develop trust in yourself, that you will be OK. "This develops over time, by making small predictions about the moment ("This moment will turn out OK") and then seeing if the prediction comes true."
This is the path. You find the things you're struggling with, and learn to work with them. Learn to shift your perspective. Learn to see what's tripping you up, and turn it into an opportunity to practice new skills.
This is a good path. It wil help you to be more accepting of youself, and trust yourself more. And in turn, it will aslo help you to love yourself and others more, one moment at a time.
