The art of self-love: Kickstarting your journey written by Annika Godwin graphics by Mary Alvarez

1. List every positive attribute about yourself in a daily journal. This may seem difficult, but be specific about all of your good qualities. When you’re having a bad day, you can reflect on all the positive things about yourself.

3. Do things that make you happy. Whether that be a sport or watching your favorite movie, doing your makeup just for fun or doodling in your notebook, you deserve to spend your time doing things that bring joy to your life instead of focusing on other people’s ideas of fun.

2. Celebrate the wins in your life. No matter how big or small the accomplishment may be, it is important to be proud of yourself. Give yourself a reward when you accomplish a task you have been putting off for a while.

4. Flaunt what you’ve got. Some days you will feel better about yourself than others. So on your best days, put on your favorite outfit and take some selfies. No matter if you post them on Instagram, it can be fun to take a picture to highlight both your beauty and happiness that day.

5. Challenge yourself. Everyone has insecurities, but it is important to break down those walls as often as possible. Go out of your comfort zone and do something you would not normally do. Don’t wear makeup for a day, then try it for a week or maybe even a month. Wear that outfit you have been scared to show off in public. Do at least one thing a day, no matter how small, to step out of your comfort zone and build your confidence.
