Even something as simple as wearing a colorful scarf that makes you feel good is a way of letting your personal style shine.

Or, perhaps you could initiate a "Compliment Circle" with friends, where each person shares a genuine compliment about someone else. These are simple, tangible ways to practice letting your inner light out.

Getting started is easier than you might think. First, take a moment to reflect: What makes you feel good about yourself? It could be anything.
