Count what you love about yourself.<br />
This can sometimes be tricky… you may think the<br />
idea of sitting down and writing up what you love<br />
about yourself strange, but it will help you so much<br />
in low moments. In difficult times, when you really<br />
aren't feeling your best, looking back at what you are<br />
proud about or even some of your accomplishments<br />
can make a huge difference in how you think. Just<br />
remember this- we have low moments so we can<br />
appreciate the high, and everything will work itself out.<br />

WORDS OF ADVICE<br />

Sometimes it's not always easy to feel good<br />
about yourself- you may think that you<br />
are the only one who struggles with selfesteem<br />
and self-confidence, but trust me, at some<br />
point, we all do. My self-esteem and confidence<br />
have not always been as healthy as it is today. Just<br />
like everyone else, I've struggled with feeling bad<br />
about myself, doubting every action. It's normal,<br />
and it's not something we can avoid. However,<br />
this is something we can learn to deal with and<br />
learn to make it better. Over the last few years, I've<br />
realized a few things we can do to help how we<br />
feel about ourselves. These suggestions aren't<br />
things that are going to make you wake up and<br />
never have doubts about yourself again, but they<br />
are aspects that count! Last month I spoke about<br />
taking care of our outside, now let's talk about the<br />
inside. Mental Health is an essential idea to me,<br />
which is why I am honoured to share my thoughts<br />
on the subject here in Teen Look Magazine.<br />
Don't forget the fact that you are your most<br />
judgmental critic.<br />
Sometimes we think that others will notice the "huge"<br />
zit on your face or even the tiniest imperfection. In fact,<br />
you are the one that will notice it the most. We can't let<br />
the small imperfections decide how we feel, or how<br />
much confidence we carry. In reality, good people and<br />
good friends won't like you based on your looks, but<br />
instead your inside- your personality. A friend who is not<br />
there for you when you aren't looking your best is most<br />
likely a friend you don't want to have. You want to find<br />
people who only care about the true you.<br />
Know who you are and what you want.<br />
An unbearable amount of stress and disappointment is<br />
caused by comparing yourself to others. Everyone has<br />
their own unique purpose, goals, and vision. If we waste<br />
time looking at who is better, who is prettier, etc., we will<br />
feel the lowest about ourselves. It's crucial to find your<br />
goal, and then work towards it.<br />
Be appreciative and count your blessings.<br />
I like to take a few moments at the end of each day to<br />
reflect on the good in my life. I find staying positive, and<br />
looking at the glass half full helps me realize the bright<br />
side. Some examples of areas I express gratitude<br />
towards include friends and family. Never forget who is<br />
always there to support you when you fall.<br />
Surround yourself with people that make you feel<br />
amazing.<br />
The first step to healthy self-esteem and confidence<br />
is spending time with the people who care about you<br />
most. If you surround yourself with people who insult<br />
you and make you feel low about yourself, it can hurt<br />
the way you view yourself. I challenge you right now<br />
to express your gratitude towards one person who is<br />
always in your corner. The person who makes you feel<br />
fantastic about yourself.<br />
Talk to you next month,<br />
