Focus On The Things You Love
This tip may sound a little too obvious, but that’s because it works. Whenever you look in the mirror, try to focus on the things you actually like about yourself. Don’t stop there; find your best traits and compliment yourself if you have to. All of that really does help.

Stop Speaking Negatively About Yourself
We know this may sound a bit difficult for those with a self-deprecating sense of humour, but it’s worth a shot! Whenever you speak about yourself, stop talking if you’re about to say anything negative. Either think of something positive to say or hold back your bad comment, as this method will help you filter your thoughts out.

Accept Compliments
Take all the compliments that people give you. Yes, no matter how embarrassing you may find it or how ‘undeserved’ you think a compliment is, just accept it because all compliments are valid on some level. While we tend to focus on our flaws, the people complimenting you see something that you don’t see—your beautiful energy, soul, and obviously, whatever they complimented you about.

Surround Yourself With Positive People
If your circle isn’t supportive and doesn’t give you the right amount of constructive criticism to help you blossom into a better person, then that’s not the circle you need to be in. Feeling insecure around your friends isn’t what friendship isn’t about, and you end up indulging those who make you feel horrible about yourself.
