Big yourself up
Rather than focusing on the negatives, make an effort to recognise your plus points. Make a list of the things you like about yourself—for instance, how you help others or make people laugh—and of compliments people pay you. Refer to it when you’re doubting your worth. And if you ever find yourself criticising yourself, stop and ask yourself, “Would I say that to a friend?”.
Give yourself a mini-makeover
One thing that’s easy to do is change your appearance and summer’s the time to do it! It’s amazing how good a new dress, a haircut, or having your teeth whitened or your nails done can make you feel. Even a humble shower and a shave can give your self-image a lift. Always stand tall—just looking confident will help you feel more confident.
