1. I feel pretty when I take pride in my appearance. I feel pretty when I smile and have a happy face. I recognise that attractiveness is related to how I project myself more than how I look so whenever I walk and talk with self-confidence I feel pretty.
2. I feel smart when I know I've learned something new. I feel smart when I recognise that everyone is smart in different ways including me. |
