10 Ways To Feel Great About Yourself Today
Are you tired and worn out, feeling full of regret and worry? It’s exhausting and depressing to feel this way. Hey, it’s okay to love yourself. Actually, you’re supposed to! How else are you going to be the wisest, greenest, friendliest soul on the planet? It all begins with feeling good, and that delicious glow that comes from it. Not gloating, glowing.
The world needs you at your best. The cultural creatives are waiting on you, so step up, love yourself, and put your best into the world. Here are some ways to love yourself today:
Give Gifts & Compliments. Gifting, as regular practice, shows that you wish happiness upon others, and you can easily give the gift of a genuine compliment. Seeking out that which is beautiful and bringing positive attention to it is a sure way to create smiles and good feeling all around.
Do one eco-friendly thing you don’t usually do, and feel good about doing that.
Call your grandma. Seriously, there’s someone out there who would love to hear from you. People want you around!
Start each day with a simple prayer or intention. “Today I pray for peace in my day,” or “Today I intend to create easy communication.”
Write yourself an email expounding your greatest qualities and finest features. Don’t forget to flirt! Be sassy, erotic, vivacious. You are the coolest creature on Earth!
Do that thing you’ve been putting off. It’s that one thing that’s not so easy and you really have to do it. Until you do what’s right, you won’t feel good about yourself. Tackle it now.
Write a Mission Statement. You were born on this Earth for a reason. What’s your Mission? Why are you here? What does life want from you?
Create a self portrait. Draw, paint, sculpt, show it, grow it, craft it. What do you really look like?
Treat Yourself. Spend that extra few bucks for the gourmet chocolate, or splurge on that yoga therapy treatment you’ve been thinking about. You get to decide what you’re worth – it’ll do you well to up the ante.
Healthy Fuel. You can’t convince us you feel good about yourself if you’re feeding yourself dirty fuel. Eat the cleanest, most wholesome foods available to you, and feel good about that.

what about exercise? I can’t stress that enough. Whenever I don’t exercise I always feel down. Do jumping jacks, run, bike, swim, jog, strength train, anything.

Thanks Kristi, I’m glad you mentioned that. It’s SO true. Almost any bad mood can be shrugged off if you just sprint around, climb a tree, get off your butt and do something active!

I totally agree with Kristi. Exercise is the best thing I can do for myself to feel great. Particularly doing it first thing in the morning. Starting the day with a walk, something for myself – rather than rushing off to work – has proved to be the best habit I’ve ever developed.

Don’t forget gratitude – be thankful for the many things you DO have. So many have so much less…

How about volunteerism? The best way I know to feel better is to help others feel better. I live on Long Island, which is considered a wealthy area. Yet over 90,000 children on Long Island go to bed hungry every night. What if one of them was my child? So I volunteer at the local food bank, helping to eradicate this shameful problem.

Sarah, what a great post about ways to feel better about yourself. I’m a believer that giving is an excellent way anyone can feel better, as well as having a heart of gratitude always. Thanks for sharing!

I’d like to second that comment on volunteering. This weekend I was having some particularly rough PMS and in a basically horrible, low energy mood. But then I had an opportunity to help a friend clean up after a particularly large kid’s party in her yard. I was tired and sluggish but it did brighten my mood, and her appreciation and gratitude helped me feel a lot better. I could have stayed home, feeling miserable, but I’m glad I chose to go a few steps out of my way.
