Criticism never changes a thing. Stop criticising yourself and accept yourself as you are. When you criticise yourself, you become negative. When you approve of yourself, you become positive.

Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing with every little thing.

Stop terrorising yourself with your thoughts. It's a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure and switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought.

Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of thinking. Treat yourself as you would someone you really loved.

Be kind to your mind. Self-hatred is only hating your own thoughts. Don't hate yourself for having the thoughts. Gently change your thoughts.

Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to friends and allow them to help you. It is being strong to ask for help when you need it.

Take care of your health. Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel does your body need to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish the body you live in.

Love yourself and do it now. Don't wait until you feel good or lose the weight or get into a new relationship. Begin NOW and be the best you can.
