How I did it: Self-acceptance can sometimes be a hard thing to learn, but it's definitely worth it in the end.  It took two years of hating certain, nit-picky things about myself - my wavy hair, my shyness, stuff like that - to realize that I wasn't doing myself any favors.  The best thing I could really do to make those bad thoughts about myself vanish was learn to love those things, to learn to laugh at myself instead of tear myself down.

Lessons & tips: Whatever you dislike about yourself, look at it from a different perspective.  Is my frizzy hair all that bad?  Is my world going to cave in on itself just because I don't have a washboard stomach.

Learning to laugh at and love yourself is definitely a step in the right direction - but don't become so modest you don't take credit for how great you really are!
