Get your sweat on.
You might dread exercise but it can play a big factor in helping yourself feel more
attractive.
We're not just talking about exercise's effect on your body physically — exercise is a
great way to take some time to get out your aggression, have some time for yourself, and
release endorphins, a chemical that can improve your mood. A 2015 study by the
University of Turku found that people who exercised reported an increase in
confidence.Exercise is a great way to feel more attractive," April Masini, a relationship
and etiquette expert, told INSIDER. "Not only are you giving yourself a gift of fitness, but
you’re releasing endorphins and balancing work, play and self-care."
Give some compliments.
Getting some love from others might seem like the easiest way to boost your self image,
but actually you might want to practice giving some love first.
Talking up good traits about others will help you seem more appealing in their eyes and
make you realize the good things about yourself, too. Researchers at the University of
Electronic Science and Technology of China suggested in a 2016 study that men who
used metaphors to compliment women were found to be more attractive.

2. Learning how to properly compliment may just be the key to a second date," matchmaker
Denise Levy told INSIDER. "Making other people feel good about themselves increases
your attractiveness. People put effort into getting ready for a date so take the time to
compliment the other person and mean it!"

Put a smile on.
It's no secret that smiling makes you seem warm and inviting to other people, which can
help how they see you. But it turns out you may even get the same benefits by looking in
a mirror and smiling at yourself.
"As social creatures, we are programmed to notice the body language of others and scan
for cues of safety and welcome," relationship therapist, educator, and author Shadeen
Francis told INSIDER. "Smiling is a universal signal for warmth, approachability, and
attractiveness."
"But this also works for yourself; if you smile at yourself in the mirror, you receive very
similar neural cues as you would if a familiar friend smiled at you," she said.
Researchers at the University of Cardiff in Wales in 2009 studied how facial expressions
can affect a person's mood and found evidence that suggests people who smile more
can actually feel happier.

4. Give yourself a pep talk.
It's always nice when someone close to you notices or points out a good quality, but you
don't have to wait around for that extra boost.
It may seem silly, but repeating positive affirmations to yourself in the mirror or saying
things that you like about yourself will help you validate those traits and value them in
yourself.
"Attention is an exercise in intentional focus," Francis said. "Whatever you give attention
to will expand in your field of consciousness. Taking time to actively notice positive
qualities about yourself, whether external characteristics or internal skills and qualities,
helps them become more salient to you. When you spend time acknowledging these
traits, you can experience them more fully."
A 2014 study from the University of Illinois published in the "European Journal of Social
Psychology" suggested that people who talked to themselves had higher job success
and confidence. Experiments showed that when people talked to themselves — in the
same way that they would speak to a friend — it hyped them up. The study also showed
that people injected more energy into saying the word "you" when referring to
themselves.
Don't self-sabotage.
A study from the National Institutes of Health found that people who dwelled on negative
aspects about themselves actually had a higher risk of self-doubt and may have a lower-
rate of self-satisfaction.
If you find yourself making negative statements about yourself, you need to pay close
attention to why. These types of statements can make you feel worse about yourself and
take a toll on your self-image.
Psychologist Jodi De Luca recommends that people identify what is causing them to
make these statements and eliminate the cause if they can.
"In particular, pay special attention to what triggers self-sabotaging statements," she told
INSIDER. "Is it a particular environment? Person? Situation? Once you identify the
triggers of negative self-talk, you have a better chance of catching yourself, turning
negative self-statements into positive ones, and even preventing them."
Assess your relationships with others.
The weight of a toxic person in your life may be preventing you from feeling your best.

5. A 2015 study in "The Journal of Ethics and Education" surveyed people who had a
relationship in their life that exhibited traits of "estrangement, change, mistaken
friendship, and false friendship." The study found that they often didn't realize that
others were dragging them down and saw toxic people through "rose-colored glasses,"
which can take a toll on their mental health.
If there are people who are constantly putting you down, being rude to you, or are just
bad influences on your self-esteem, do your best to cut those people out of your life or
spend lesss time with them.
More importantly, prioritize the people who spend their time supporting you and building
you up. This can instantly boost your confidence, De Luca said.
