...See more Welcome back to our Self-Care Lounge! Today’s activity will focus on how we can be more kind to ourselves. One of the easiest ways to become more confident is to praise yourself more often. Learn how to become aware of your internal dialogue and then change it or a stronger, more self-confident you. Sure, receiving praise from others can make you feel good in the moment, but without the true confidence that comes from within, those compliments won’t amount to anything. Reasons why we should compliment ourselves: 💕 You learn to love yourself more. 💕 It helps to boost your confidence. 💕 You become aware of the accomplishments that you have done so far. No matter how big or small they may seem to others . 💕There will be times where others won’t do it for you, so you will have to. Question to answer: If you were to give yourself a compliment, what would it be?
