1. Put perfectionism aside. Those who demand too much of themselves and others are below their own expectations.

4. Celebrate all the good you do for yourself, without guilt. You deserve!

5. Be generous with yourself. And don’t let the stern self-criticism that arises if something goes wrong.

6. Dance, sing, have fun in activities that relax your mind.

7. Get moving: regular exercise activates pleasure hormones. It also raises self-esteem.
