1. Do something differently.
Accept compliments. Say thank you.
Look after yourself. Eat healthy, exercise and do more things you enjoy.
Set achievable and realistic goals. Set yourself up for success.
2. Think differently.
Challenge those negative or critical thoughts about yourself:
Is this thought a fact or opinion?
Things are rarely black or white. What are the shades of gray?
Is there another way of looking at this?
How important is this? Will it matter in 6 months?
3. Be compassionate with yourself.
What would you say to a good friend in this situation?
4. Acknowledge your strengths.
Make a list of what you are good at, or the positive things others have said about you.
5. Notice the positives.
What good or helpful things did you do or say today?
What new things did you try?
What did you enjoy doing?
