Many people are dissatisfied with their appearance, shape, body, style, etc. If you are one of them too, this article is right for you. Coping with feelings of dissatisfaction and self-hatred can be a serious burden to carry on your shoulders. Learn to accept yourself for who you are, and you will see things in a completely different light.
Steps
Step 1. Rather than focusing on the negatives, find and focus your attention on the good qualities that set you apart
Step 2. Make a list of all your flaws and good qualities, and compare them
If the list of "downsides" is longer, find a way to turn shortcomings into strengths. For example, if you think you are too blunt, consider it from a different point of view: you are honest and don't use too many words! Usually, the list of defects is longer due to your insecurities.
Step 3. Every time you look in the mirror, recall some of your strengths
Thoughts are incredibly powerful and will help you change the way you look at things.
Step 4. Replace your negative thoughts with actions that will help you to correct defects on a daily basis
If you have a weight problem, try starting an exercise program. Don't like your style? Try to change it radically! If you are willing to make the necessary efforts, every problem has its solution.
Step 5. Tell yourself every day that you are an extraordinary and unique person, and soon that person you despise so much will end up turning into an extraordinary person
Advice

- You are learning to love yourself and accept yourself for who you are. This takes some time. Be patient! It is impossible to undo the effects of an entire conditioning life in one night.
