Ever feel like you’re getting in your own way?

Perhaps a handful of ideas can help you shift out of this unhelpful mindset, so you get back on track quickly.

Here are some:

1. Forgive your past self.

There will always be a weight on our shoulders if we can’t let go of something we did in the past.

We must forgive ourselves to live a more enjoyable and expressive present life. Identify what you have trouble forgiving, then journal through to understanding.

This means listing out all the rational (at the time) reasons why you did what you did.

Self-love appears when you understand yourself better.

2. List 20 things you love about yourself.

Treat this as a fun exercise to lift your spirits.

Write a glowing list of all the stuff that you love about yourself — those things you can admire yourself for.

Those things that we can forget to acknowledge as we rush through life.

This is a list you can refer to whenever you feel shitty.

3. Accept your physical self.
