The best way to look good is to feel good. You may know people who are far from being Hollywood studs and bombshells, but nevertheless have that special appeal. These few fortunate souls radiate beauty because they not only feel confident with who they are, but they also believe in themselves as well.

Find your best attributes and emphasize them. They can be physical or simply parts of your personality. Use them to your advantage and let them draw others to you.

Stop berating yourself. Do not be overly critical with your faults. Yes, it is true that you should be aware of your negative traits and that you should acknowledge your mistakes. But stop wallowing in self pity and get over it. Instead of lifting your spirits up, you’re tearing yourself down. And would that do you any good? Remember, the only person who can make you feel good is you.

Accept compliments and thank those who give them, especially when you think that you deserve them. If you worked hard to achieve good results, then why be coy about it? You may not want to brag, but you don’t want to fish for compliments either. You would only come out as insincere and as someone just looking for attention.

If you have one of them bad days, then don’t let it get the best of you. Eat a bar of chocolate, go out on a movie, have coffee with friends, or have an invigorating walk. Do what works for you. Just don’t make people around you suffer along.

Do things to please yourself.

Don’t let anyone else make you feel less the person you are. Love yourself and feel good about yourself, and once you do you’ll see that everything else follows.
