1. Avoid Looking into Any Mirrors
The first day that you take down your mirrors, you'll feel self-conscious, because you'll have no clue what you look like. However, after a few days without looking at yourself, you'll be able to imagine that you look beautiful, despite how your hair or makeup appears. Since most of us will have trouble avoiding reflective surfaces completely, then you can at least limit the amount of time you spend looking at yourself. Use mirrors in the morning to apply your makeup and then avoid them for the rest of the day.
2. Stand up Straight and Smile
Your body language can trick your brain into believing that you're happier than you actually are. That means you should stand up straight and smile all day long. It doesn't matter if you're lounging on the couch alone. You should still use proper body language in order to make yourself feel as beautiful as you look.
3. Exercise
Exercising might make you feel disgusting while you're in the middle of the act, but after you're finished you'll feel rejuvenated. You'll even feel pride about accomplishing something that takes both body strength and mental strength. There's no better way to feel beautiful about your body than to push it to its limits, so stop making excuses for skipping your daily workout and move those legs.
4. Pamper Yourself
You'll feel as beautiful as ever after a day at the spa. If you don't have the time or the money to get a manicure or massage from a professional, you can paint your nails yourself and set a bubble bath. As long as it relaxes you and makes you feel your very best, it's worth doing.
