How I did it: Well, I started by working out why I felt bad about myself.  When the root of the problem had been decided, I stopped myself saying anything bad about myself.  Thankfully, I am surrounded by people who can make me feel good about myself.  So that worked, as all I need to do now is remember how lucky I am to know these people and what they've said about me in the past.

Lessons & tips: * Try and remember all the compliments people have paid you in the past
* Really question WHY you keep putting yourself down.  Is it for sympathy?  Or because you feel inadequate?  Once you've worked out why, it makes it easier to heal.

Resources: * Friends and family
* My mind
* Journals
