I truly want women to love themselves and feel good about who they are.  We are often our worst critics – nitpicking at every single thing we perceive as flaws.  In this blog post, I want to give you 6 tips – things to do when you are feeling down about yourself.

Please take this advice to heart!  It’s something I’ve done for myself and always feel better when I do it.

6 Tips for when you are feeling down about yourself

1. You have to surround yourself with positive people.  All the negativity needs to get out of your life immediately, being around these types of people will only bring you down further. The decisions may be hard because you might be extremely close with some of these individuals, but you need to be around people that encourage you and can keep you moving in the right direction. Rid yourself today of all of those that bring you down while you are down until you can bring yourself back up.
2. Listen to peppy music and dance as if no one is watching.  Listening to great music and moving around changes your outlook on things.  I have been really enjoying the new Justin Timberlake song – I dance to it all the time and I feel so good afterwards.
3. Posture dictates your feelings and how you are viewed by others.  Best thing you can do for yourself is to use the victory stance.  Place your hands on your hips, shoulders back, feet hip width apart (like Clark Kent) and stand there for about two minutes.  Another way to do this is to put your arms up in a high v like you are running through the finish line at the end of a race.  This will make a huge impact on your attitude.  Seriously.  Posture is important.
4. Create an album in your phone and include only images that make you happy whether they are photos of you, your family, kids, a vacation, add some inspirational quotes.  Look at every time you start to feel down.
5. Focus on the things that you love about yourself, not the things that you want to change or what you don’t like. Really look at and focus on what you love about yourself.  For me, I love my eyes – so I focus on my eyes!
6. Last but not least, get your fan out, blow it in your face and hair and strike some budoir poses with your favorite music playing.  🙂

Love who you are at this moment.  Life is better when you love!

Live your life and be happy!
