1. Talk to yourself… like you would to your best friend

When you get an iIf you have a weird idea about yourself or your body, think: if my best friend told me this, what would I say? 100% you'd be nicer and more playful than you are with yourself.

So, start being yourself, with yourself, more like you are with your colleagues that you KILL for.

2. Masturbation and self-love

To start being comfortable in front of others, it's best to be comfortable with yourself. We're not talking about isolating yourself in the mountains, but about a date, a little while, some time alone and without distractions with you.

After all, you're the person you're going to spend the most time with for the rest of your life, so you'd better get along really well with her.

3. If you're working towards your next level, celebrate your everyday victories.

It doesn't matter if it's because of that intense workout you just had at the gym or a 20-minute stroll along the promenade with an ice cream. If that's a victory for you, IT IS CELEBRATED (even if it's with) a little victory dance).

The human head (just like that of little dogs) responds better to rewards than to punishments.

4. If you're going to start comparing... it'll destroy you.

When you compare the shape of your belly button in extreme close-up on the sofa with leaked photos of lives and bodies on social media… it's easy to come up short.

Are you able to ignore others and only 'compete' with yourself? Go for it. If not? - then tear them apart: 'He probably only eats chicken all year round'; 'What a sad life he must have'; 'I only see insecurities in all the photos'... if you're going to compare impossible realities, you'd better choose the version where you come out on top.

5. A door to a rocky outcrop that makes you feel unsafe

Goodbye, Maricarmen, to environments and people that vibrate with energies with which you don't quite connect.

Trolls, energy vampires, emotional sponges, the guy at work who's always criticizing, the guy at the bar who always thinks negatively about everything... only say yes to people who contribute and leave you with smiles after coffees and messages.That what you hear around you are the voices that are gradually seeping into you.

6. Europe a lot

If you were looking for the perfect excuse to whisper sweet nothings in the ear of the people who make you blush (and those who don't blush), here it is.

When you invest time in seeing and acknowledging out loud the good things in others… it “trains” you to see them just as easily in yourself when you check yourself out in the mirror.

7. Networks - working in your favor

We won't tell you to turn off Instagram or stop following super hot guys and girls because let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

But you can 'force' the algorithm a little: like some posts with cool quotes, from accounts that are purely humorous... so that your feed doesn't look like a collage of brothels and so that little by little, through reading, some message will sink in.

8. Create an ultimate strut ritual

Maluma's Vitaldent smile, C. Tangana's high-waisted pants, footballers' outrageous hairstyles… these aren't random. They're the result of their daily confidence-boosting ritual.

What's yours? - Put on those clothes you know look amazing on you, that background music that gets under your skin, those Siwon creams that light up your eyes... your confidence-boosting ritual tailored to your tastes.

9. Body positive and body neutrality

The body positivity movement is great because it breaks with the idea that there's only one standard of a 'beautiful' body. It shows that all bodies are beautiful and should be loved equally.

Even so, there are already some variations on this. Do I really have to love every single part of my body all the time?

No, there are other movements like body neutrality that go a little further:

• You are not just your body; you have more facets (family, work, life...).
• Your body is at your service, not the other way around: it's there for you to take care of yourself, to enjoy yourself,...
• Your body... simply is: the good, the bad, the so-so, and all its ups and downs. And that's okay.
  

10. Tra-tra 💃 Treat yourself better

This shouldn't even need to be said, but just in case…

The essential step to boost your self-esteem is to start from ground zero of acceptance, take better care of yourself, treat yourself better, and love yourself wholeheartedly.

Because self-love has no shortcuts or gym routines. You have to fall head over heels in love with yourself: the good and the bad, the ugly and the sexy, the ordinary and the extraordinary.
