Step 2 - positive self-talk

Learn to talk to yourself in a way that will build you up, not tear you down. Compliment yourself, cheer for yourself, give yourself a pep talk when you need it, give yourself a pat on the back when you deserve it.

This will help you get started:

I can do it.
Looking good.
Have a great day.
Great job.
I am enough.
I have great value.  There is no one like me.  
Never give up.
This too shall pass.
I am needed.
I am loved.
I am attractive.
I admire these things about myself …
Don’t lose hope.
Tomorrow is a new day, a new start.
Be strong.

Nurture Yourself

Develop the art of caring for yourself.  It will soon spill over to others.  How? Tend to yourself as you would tend a garden.  Do what needs done.  Meet your own needs.

Step 1 - encourage and comfort yourself

Get your hands on everything encouraging that you can.  This will get you started: pamelarae-artofencouragement.tumblr.com
