Leave the Gossip Alone
When you engage in negative conversations about other people, you unmask your own flaw — low self-esteem. Don’t reframe your own insecurities in the context of others.
The Upgrade: Inject positive comments in all of your conversations. Salvage your self-respect by speaking positively about yourself and other women.
All by Myself
There is a critical difference between being alone and being lonely. Don’t be afraid to go it alone, nor should you envy people who have a significant other.
The Upgrade: Treat yourself to something special. Become your own best friend, and the “me times” will become your most treasured experiences.
Stuck in the Past
Don’t allow your past to dictate your future. Allowing thoughts of the past to consume your current outlook, putszc you in grave danger of missing out on the here and now.
The Upgrade: Learn from your past, but don’t relive it. There is so much more in store for you, if you only dare to look ahead. Your circumstances happened to you, but they are not you. Enjoy yourself — your destiny awaits.
Little Mirror on the Wall
Although, we are often bombarded with other people’s definition of beauty, remember your real beauty lies within — it’s what makes the external you shine.
The Upgrade: Stand in the mirror and love what you see. Create a beauty of your own to experience true love and self-actualization. |
