Summarize this article in one sentence.
Your self-worth isn’t based on what other people think of you or the approval of others. It comes from you and nobody else. Surround yourself with positive people and recognize when you feel low about yourself. Listen to how you talk to yourself (like calling yourself unlikeable or a failure) and stop beating yourself up for your mistakes.  Learn from your mistakes and treat yourself the way you would treat your best friend. Be kind, compassionate, and forgiving. Note if you have people pleasing tendencies. This is often a sign of low self-esteem. Neglecting your needs can be a sign of a lack of self-love. Looking after yourself and taking care of your body isn’t selfish. If you tend to neglect taking care of yourself to take care of others, carve out some time each day for your health. Eat healthy meals, exercise regularly, and do things that make your body feel good. Above all, make sure you get enough sleep each night and feel rested each day.  Aim to get 7.5-8.5 hours of sleep each night.  When you take care of yourself, you’re better able to help others. Taking good care of yourself will help you feel better and help you cope with stress. Spend time having fun with friends and family. Treat yourself with a little pampering now and then: get a massage, go to a spa, and do something that relaxes you. Do activities that you enjoy. Listen to music, journal, volunteer, or take a daily walk. The only approval you need is your own. No matter how hard you try, some people just cannot be pleased. You can’t change what people think or feel to make them like you or approve of you. It’s up to other people to make those decisions. If you’re trying to win the approval of a friend group or you want your grandmother to see what a good person you are, you may not be able to do this. Struggling with people pleasing can be difficult. If you’ve tried to change things yet it’s stayed the same or only gotten worse, it might be time to see a therapist. A therapist can help you enact new behaviors and stand up for yourself. Find a therapist by contacting your insurance provider or a local mental health clinic. You can also find a therapist by getting a recommendation from a friend or physician.
Build your self-esteem. Practice healthy habits. Give yourself some care. Recognize that you cannot please everybody. Get professional help.
