How to feel beautiful in 5 simple steps

Step 1: Stand in front of your mirror every once in a while and instead of noticing the things you don’t like about your body, don’t! Instead make an effort to appreciate the things you do like. Some examples include; the color of your skin, the shape of your eyes, your fingers etc.

Step 2: Start complimenting your girlfriends on their hairstyle or that new dress she’s wearing. Wouldn't you appreciate a friend saying how hot you looked in those jeans? Well then there’s no reason why we can’t share the love. Women need to stand up for themselves and each other, it’s not a competition.

Step 3: Surround yourself with people and messages that make you feel good. There’s no reason to allow your “friends” to talk down to you or believe beauty commercials. Hundreds of women in India use fairness creams to have lighter skin and a lot of others in Colombia get butt implants. Neither are necessary. If the men in your life only appreciate butts 3 times their size or skin like snow white, then it’s safe to assume you are not the problem.

Step 4: Do it for your number 1 fan. In case you were wondering who that fan was, it’s you! If you want to lose weight, get a nice ass or wear your crazy high heels, then do it for yourself. Don’t do it for anyone else. We all like to look good sometimes, so go for it and love your body.

Step 5: Every time you take a shower, make sure you sing Cristina Aguilera’s “I’m beautiful” as loud as you can, just in case the neighbors weren’t convinced already. For non Cristina fans, you may substitute the song for Bruno Mars “Just the way you are” or similar themed popular music.
