You Are A Badass: 9 Ways to Win Yourself Over Again

Ever wonder why babies are always happy? Because all they care about is TO BE HAPPY.
Babies do not care about how smelly their poop are, what we think of their singing voices, and how they dance. They eat when they're hungry, they play the way they want without rules. They follow their instincts. And most of all, they love and care without holding back.

And as an adult, what most of us care about now is what our hair looks like. How well we dress, how we say things at the right time, and worst, what others think of us. And in the process of forcing ourselves to fit in, we ignore our instincts, and forget how to love ourselves. And this, people.. makes us lose our awesomeness.

DISCLAIMER:

Below list came from the book You Are A Badass How To Stop Doubting Your Greatness And Start Living An Awesome Life by Jen Sincero. This is the shortened description which really made a notch (in my opinion). All thoughts were written by the said author.

9 Ways to Win Yourself Over Again

1. APPRECIATE HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE
You have a way of being in the world and a perspective that's unique to you.

2. DROWN YOURSELF IN AFFIRMATION
The more emotion you feel around what you are saying, the more power it will have to bring positive change.

3. DO THINGS YOU LOVE
Really listen to how you speak and pay attention to what you do. Make a conscious effort to increase your joy in whatever capacity you can.

4. FIND A REPLACEMENT
Free yourself from the drama and the conviction that your current version of yourself is the truth. Instead, make the conscious choice to replace them with new and improved one.

5. DITCH THE SELF-DEPRECIATING HUMOR
What you tell yourself on a daily basis is more powerful than you know.

6. LET THE LOVE IN
Receive compliments gracefully. Say nice things about your body, dress it up, and take it out. The better our bodies feel, the happier and more productive we are.

7. DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS
All that matters is that you're enjoying yourself and pleased with what you're creating. It is precisely your uniqueness that makes you awesome!

8. FORGIVE YOURSELF
Guilt, shame, and self-criticism are some of the most destructive forces in your life, which is why forgiving yourself is one of the most powerful.

lastly...

9. LOVE YOURSELF
Because it's the Holy Grail of happiness.
