Sally Field, the actress when receiving an award said,”You like me. You really, really like me”, or something similar to the audience. We can truly be our own worst critics, beating ourselves up over:

• Things that happened years ago
• Decisions we made
• Hurtful intentions
• Things we had no control over
• Life’s disappointments
• Missed opportunities

The list of “coulda, woulda, shoulda’s” can stretch for miles if we remain in this negative cycle of thought.

Instead, here are a few tips to get yourself up and moving.

• Honestly evaluate yourself and your life. Are you living up to your potential or settling for falling crumbs?
• Look for potential personality glitches that might be responsible for undesirable results you’re getting
• Check your “Chesire Cat” factor. In other words, are you a constant frowner-downer?
• “Straighten up and fly right” or reduce any tendencies to slouch
• Little words can create big problems if they’re never positive and uplifting.
• Do others scatter at the mention of your name, or hints of your approaching? You’ll have to find out why and change that perception with a newer more positive disposition.
• Is your state of dress a mess? Would you be interested in meeting you?
• Being self-centered and inflexible will keep you lonely. Learn to bend sometimes.
• Are you listening? Where are you really in a conversation? Stay present.
• If all the other person hears in a conversation is “I”, then one of you isn’t necessary.

Others can tell if you’re genuine or not so an honest look at your personality will go a long way. Are you making others around you feel important and that you care? When you show others that you are interested in them as people, that you value their thoughts and opinions, you will become an irresistible magnetic personality.
