    Personal development books, therapy, acting classes.
    Also try to put on a paper your positive sides. Reread them every day and actualize the list every week.
    Make another list with traits you want to improve (not negative sides!) and actualize the list every week.
    You will see that with time you will start actualizing less often.
    Also fake it untill you make it can work as well.

    My on-the-fly suggestions:

    Set small goals, accomplish them, and congratulate yourself

    Keep a notebook where every night bf bed, you write 3 things you did well that day. Do this for 40 days+ (No tme to look up source at the moment, but this is backed by research, and said to be very effective. You can do the same thing, but write 3 things you're grateful for that day as well, and it's supposed to make you a more thankful, joyful person...research has been done on this as well)

    Go for daily walks (in nature, if possible), and try to empty your mind as you move. Even if you aren't able to get into a meditative state, you will feel better having exercised.

    Help other people

    Learn something new, and master it

    Make your bed and get dressed every day, even if you aren't going out and/or will be alone. It's a very small accomplishment, and easy to accomplish, but always helps ime.

    Keep your personal space neat and free of extra stuff (this one may be just me, and I'm not always good at it...but being in a clean and de-cluttered space feels much better and less stressful than being in a cluttered space w too much stuff around me, and helps me feel more ready and energetic to do whatever I need or want to do. In turn, I actually accomplish things and then feel better about myself)
