  • Understand that there are both positive and negative aspects of who you are and you should accept these as part of who you are
  • Are there things about yourself which you don’t like? Ok, maybe you can improve but first acknowledge them and accept them
  • Are you trying to be something you’re not? Why? Wouldn’t it be better to be you?

13 Ways to improve your life

1. Imagine you’re your best friend. If you were, what would you tell yourself right now? Look in the mirror and say it.

2. Smile at a stranger you might be the only one that does. you may even get a smile back

3. Help someone. Carry a bag, open a door, or pick up an extra loaf of bread for a neighbor.

4. Check in with your emotions. Sit quietly and just name without judgment what you’re feeling.

5. Write out your thoughts. Go for ten minutes on anything bothering you. Then let it go as you burn or bin the paper.

6. Choose who you spend your time with today. Hang out with “Radiators” who emit enthusiasm and positivity, and not “Drains” whose pessimism and negativity robs energy.

7. Stroke a pet. If you don’t have one, go to the park and find one. (Ask first!)

8. Get positive feedback. Ask three good friends to tell you what they love about you.

10. Splurge a little. Buy a small luxury as a way of valuing yourself.

11. Have a self-date. Spend an hour alone doing something that nourishes you (reading, your hobby, visiting a museum or gallery, etc.)

12. Exercise a signature strength. Think about what you’re good at, and find an opportunity for it today.

13. Ask for help—big or small, but reach out.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF- CARE

Many of us have so many responsibilities in life that we forget to take care of our personal needs. This is particularly true for mothers, who have many caregiving responsibilities, but moms certainly don’t have a monopoly on letting life get in the way of taking care of themselves.  And while it’s hard to prioritize something like taking a bath when you have so many other items on your to-do list, self-care is an important aspect of stress management
