With social media becoming so popular and gorgeous figures on our TV screens day and night, it is very easy to compare yourself, to others. The rise in influencers and sharing every aspect of your life online, has enabled us to become envious and jealous of what others have, and at the same time belittle our own worth and bodies. It is so dangerous, as often a photo uploaded to Instagram, isn’t complete reality. The image may have been edited, or the scene set to portray a perfect girl, living a perfect life. The image may be fake, but we still find ourselves comparing our bodies to those which have been created. This can leave us feeling deflated, and simply cause us to fall out of love with ourselves. So take a hard look at where the critical picture of yourself comes from and take a step back, review and take notice of all the positive things about yourself!
Ask your friends or your partner or if you have a loving family then ask members of your family to give you 2 or 3 things that they love about you…who knows you might find out something amazing about yourself you didn’t even know!
Accept who you are because you are amazing! That doesn’t mean we can’t improve and it also doesn’t mean we should stop seeking to improve! But you need to start from a place of happiness and constant self-criticism will not and can not move you forward.
Start loving and accepting yourself, then find out what it is that YOU really want for yourself and then make a plan to achieve this true goal!

For some it will be exercising more for others it will be time with the family, whatever it is for you, ask yourself when was the last time you felt truly happy and start by planning more of exactly that!
3.) Meditate and find moments of calmnessOur lives can be so busy, we often forget to make time for ourselves. This in a crucial part of loving ourselves. Try to find moments of calmness and remember to breath. Meditation can also help with this but even if you don’t fell meditation is for you- just take 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes in the evening when you wake up and fall asleep to be calm and be grateful and breath deep 5-6 times.
