Admire Individuality
Don’t be critical about others. It won’t make you feel better about yourself
and it isn’t funny. If you observe
someone wearing something that you don’t feel is flattering, keep your comments

challenge yourself to think about why it bothers you in the first place. Try to think of three things about the person
(whether you know them or not) that can offset being critical. For example, if
you’re thinking, “I
would never wear that!,” or,
“did she not look in a mirror before she
left the house?,” counter
those thoughts with, “I admire her
