The Harsh Truth Is...

You're only as pretty as you feel. It doesn't matter what you ACTUALLY look like to other people by any means. If you don't feel good about yourself , nothing else matters. People can tell you that you look stunning but it seems insignificant and petty. So to build up some self esteem (which is something I've always battled), when you get out of the shower go look at yourself. Seriously, a solid minute or two. And every time that you do this name one thing you don't entirely hate about yourself. Eventually it will turn into things you love about yourself.  The deal is, when you've just got out of the shower you are totally exposed and uncensored. If you can find something good out of all the bad, then it must not be so bad. Most of us can't stand to look at ourselves naked for more than maybe 15 seconds. During this time you can also use constructive criticism. Don't talk down on yourself, just things like "I'd really like to tone my thighs up, so I should jog more." That is probably an unrealistic sentence, but it's a great start. Only positive thoughts. This is also something I've done and I must admit, I currently hate being clothed. So it obviously has done me a great bit of good. Let me know how it works for those of you who actually attempt it!
