Itโs a new year and time to let go of all of the small things that crawled under your skin in 2015. Write down all of the things that got you down in the past year and figure out which ones you can forget about and which ones you can change. Make peace with the ones you can resolve and learn from the mistakes of the things you cannot change.

Completely embracing yourself has to come from within. Make it a point to look at things in a positive perspective every day.

6. Give Yourself a Compliment Each Day
Donโt wait for a stranger to compliment you on your achievements. Itโs ok to give yourself a pat on the back when the wings of your eyeliner are totally clutch or when you crunched through your latest gym session without giving up.

You deserve to celebrate yourself and your accomplishments. Did you just land a promotion after working hard in your current position? Run your first 5k? Itโs time for you to indulge a little! Grab a cup of coffee, get your nails done, buy those shoes, basically, that one thing you want or love to do but have been putting off, DO IT. Treat Yo Self!

What goes around comes back around, so share some of your positive energy with those around you. Make it a point to compliment some one each day and you will see that sharing positive vibes makes you feel good too.
