Correctly accept compliments. Many women sin by the fact that they are completely unable to adequately respond to pleasant words addressed to them. Some representatives of the weaker sex begin to defy, brush off. Others prefer to simply ignore this or they are very distrustful of compliments from the outside.

Love of self and acceptance of self. It is very difficult for women to love themselves, especially in appearance. The modern world, fashionable standards dictate certain standards of beauty. However, do not forget that even the models that look perfect on the covers in real life are ordinary girls, with their flaws and weaknesses. We must honestly and frankly talk to ourselves, highlight - literally point by point - those features and moments that do not allow you to sincerely love yourself. And after doing a painstaking study of these nuances. So, for example, if there is something that you do not like in appearance, you should learn to disguise this, and bring your advantages to the forefront.
Refusal of self-pity. The position of the victim in most cases negatively affects women's self-esteem. The tendency to apathy, nagging worsen the quality of life.

Do not be shy to give a sincere smile even to a casual passerby on the street. A smile is a simple way to cheer yourself up and feel, perhaps, a weak, but still a surge of inner strength and timid confidence. In addition, a smile often disarms. Such a reaction, for example, to some comments or criticism can lead another person into a state of confusion, and he will change his anger to mercy.
