Tip of the Day!

To improve your self-image, try making lists, rereading them often, and rewriting them from time to time. The process will help you to feel better about yourself. If you have a journal, you can write your lists there. If you don't, any piece of paper will do.

Make a list of :

At least 5 of your strengths, for example, persistence, courage, friendliness, creativity
At least 5 things you admire about yourself, for example, the way you have raised your children, your good relationship with someone in your family, or your spirituality
The 5 greatest achievements in your life so far, like recovering from a serious illness, graduating from high school, or learning to use a computer
At least 20 other accomplishments — they can be as simple as learning to tie your shoes, to getting an advanced college degree
10 ways you can "treat" or reward yourself that don't include food and that don't cost anything, such as walking in woods, window-shopping, or chatting with a friend
10 things you can do to make yourself laugh!
10 things you could do to help someone else.
Things that you do that make you feel good about yourself!
