Great tranquility of heart is hers who cares for
neither praise nor blame.
Those who dwell on the praises and criticisms dealt
out to them by other people live in a constant flux of
elation or despair.
Lovely as it is to receive praise, and valuable as it
is to receive constructive criticism which can be
acted upon, the wise person takes neither to heart.

How to love yourself
-
That age old tip of looking in the mirror and saying "I am a confident woman" isnt for everyone. Instead, when you're having an off day, remember the last compliment you got. Think about it and keep it in your head. Walk as if you are the most beautiuful woman on earth and smile as if your laughing at your own private joke xxx
-
Recognise your true self, be your true self and you will love yourself. We all play roles in life: spouse, mother, daughter, friend - each one sometimes very different from the other. Identify the you that is absolutely honest, with high self-esteem and confidence, as this is your true self. The next step can be difficult, but highly rewarding, bring your true self into all of your other 'roles'. You have only one life (this time round), live your true life and love your life.
-
Every so often take inventory of your persoality. Step back and pretend that are someone else who is considering inviting you to a party, fixing you up with millionare or offering you for a job. Make a list of 5 things about yourself that you like and will never change. And don't worry if you don't think you're the most beautiful girl in the world - you don't want to be conceited! As I always say, I'm so smart, if I were pretty it would be overkill!
-
At the end of every day, write down 5 things you are thankful for. This can be as trivial as the train arriving on time, or the fact that you had time to watch your favourite TV show. Getting into the habit of practising gratitude means that positive thoughts will come more easily and correct negative thoughts which are only sabotaging your happiness and preventing yourself from being who you really are. Keep this up for a week and you'll be surprised.. normally we spend too much time mulling over all the annoying things that happened so we don't really feel the power of the positive things. Writing your positive thoughts down makes them (and YOU) even more powerful!
-
"Fake it 'till you make it!" If you cannot think of good things about yourself, are depressed, etc. then fake feeling good about yourself until you realize how worthy you are of loving yourself. This is a tactic that works very well in many instances and situations. Since you are responsible for your own happiness and behavior, then it is your responsibility to fake having a good time until you actually relax and begin having a good time. This does not make you a shallow person. On the contrary, this makes you a smart person who takes her own destiny into her own hands. Take control of your life and emotions today!

Look in the mirror and tell yourself you a gorgeous...pick out your fave thing about yourself and tell yourself them everyday......
-
Think about the things that you have achieved/done that you are really proud of and that will give you a warm glow inside. When I'm feeling a bit low about myself, I think of my children who are all growing up to be happy, confident, considerate and successful young people, I take pride in the fact that I've helped them to grow into such great human beings.
