Free yourself!

It's a turbulent and changing world for most of us and many a times it makes us insecure about our own image, and judge ourselves wrongly.
We might become over critical or too conscious about ourselves and stop being what we are.
Giving way to maladaptive day dreaming and being lost most of the time. Don't be your own Debbie Downer!

Here are ways to stop complaining and start living:

1. Never give anyone the license to change what you feel about yourself: The moment you allow somebody to make you feel under-confident or incapable, you make yourself more vulnerable to insecurity and negative energy. 
2. Be around positive people: by positive people, I'm hinting at happy, enthusiastic individuals, who will support you during your bad times but not let you feel worse. These people like to be happy and complain very less in life. Go for their company.
3. Don't tell yourself stories: Don't tell yourself that you aren't good enough or you want to be like someone else. Be grateful that you have something rather than saying that you're not lucky because you don't have something like so and so.
4. Do not live in denial: Accept yourself, embrace your originality and be it all the time. Don't fear.
5. Don't focus on weakness: You can always work on your weak areas for 30 minutes every day and you'll gradually be good at them. But dwelling in your weaknesses will make you weaker at heart.
6. Don't put others down to make yourself feel better: accept others like you want them to accept you, comparisons will show your own insecurity.
7. Question yourself: Ask yourself if you would really want to push yourself in a bad space, or feel any less and then work towards helping yourself.
8. Don't be with people that drain you out: People who are constantly nagging, discouraging and sucking out your positive energy should have no place in your life.
9. See the same reality from a different, positive angle: Embrace your flaws and love them, be proud of them!

10. Keep your head high and smile: A little self-kick of confidence daily never hurts right? Keep yourself impressed and don't worry about impressing others, it'll make you more confident than ever! <3
