Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. 1  , all you need to do is to change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself. 

The first thing to do is to 2 that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or colour it comes in. If you are very 3 about your weight or size, check with your doctor to make sure that things are OK. But it is nobody else's 4 but your own what your body is like—in the end, you have to be 5 with yourself.

Next, identify which aspects of your 6 you can realistically change and which you can't. Everyone, even the most perfect-seeming celebrity (名人), has things about themselves that they can't change and need to 7 like their height or their shoe size.

If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can, do this by making 8  for yourself. For example, if you want to get 9  , make a plan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods. Then keep track of your progress until you reach your goal. 

Meeting a(n) 10  you set for yourself is a great way to boost self-esteem (自尊) !

When you hear 11  remarks coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop. Try 12  your self-esteem by giving yourself three compliments (称赞) every day. Every evening, list three things in your day that really gave you 13  . It can be anything from the way the sun felt on your face, the sound of your 14  band, to the way someone laughed at your jokes. By 15  the good things you do and the positive aspects of your life, you can change how you feel about yourself.
