We all have those days where we just feel like crap about ourselves. It happens, and that's OK, but it's not OK for us to feel like this all the time. It can be hard to feel good about yourself in the society we live in because of all of the social media and ideas that get spread around so quick. But to feel better, we have to get rid of this negativity and start looking at some positive things in our life. This way, we might be able to turn our negatives into positives. So if you're feeling bad, here are five things you can do to start feeling better about yourself and your life.

1. Tell yourself nice things.

It can be easy to wake up and feel like poop, or to look in the mirror and hate what we see. We could walk around just thinking about all the things that aren't going our way and how unlucky we are. Instead of constantly thinking these negative thoughts, start thinking nicely. You feel like crap this morning? At least tell yourself that you're beautiful instead of gross. You might be able to feel better if you think better. When you're doing your daily routine in front of the mirror find some things about yourself that you love, like your smile, and eventually everything you will start to love other parts of yourself, if you just tell yourself so.

2. Tell others nice things.

How can we spread a positive vibe without sharing the love? Don't just tell yourself that you've got good looking hair today, let your neighbor know too! And your friend, your co-worker, or even the stranger on the street. Showing others what you like about them might make them start to feel better about themselves. How cool that we can help each other? If you like someone's personality or their laugh, let them know. Spread the love and the compliments to yourself and others.

3. Be around others who say nice things.

It would be very hard to be positive and say nice things to others if you aren't around people who do the same. If we surround ourselves with positive people and start to shed the negative, we will start feeling more positive. Also, why would you want to be around people that have that negative talk anyway?

4. Try new things.

Try something new to bring some kind of joy into your life. Try that shade of lipstick or a new make-up style. Buy that cute outfit that you weren't sure if you could rock, and rock it! Go somewhere new, that you've never been to before or try that new Asian place down the street. Trying new things open our eyes and widens our experiences, which in turn will start to change our perspectives on things. Just remember that when you try something new to keep an open mind about it, and always find something good in the situation.

5. Eat healthier things.

We can feel better both physically and mentally by fueling our body and taking care of it, by watching what we eat and drink. Water is a great choice because it is so natural and just good for you, even if it doesn't have a "flavor" per se. Our body will thrive off of things that are grown right from our earth like veggies and fruit, and not processed in a factory or made with unnatural substances. But don't forget to eat some ice cream and cheesy fries to help that mental health when you need it, too.

Help yourself and help others by having a positive attitude and a willingness to make yourself feel good, in a healthy way.
