HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SELFESTEEM


INTRODUCTION 

Our self-esteem is instilled in us during our youth. Being constantly criticized by family, friends, and society in general tends to slowly strip us of our feelings of self-worth. Our low self-esteem strips us of the self confidence to make even the smallest of decisions.


WAYS TO BOOST SELF ESTEEM           

Learn self-esteem Evaluate your self-esteem Listen to your inner voice Set a goal to improve your self-esteem List your positive attributes Use your journal for goal setting Forgive yourself for being imperfect Set aside time for self-care Surround yourself with positive people Recognize unreachable standards Forgive yourself


LEARN SELF-ESTEEM 

Self-esteem, or the way we feel about ourselves, is an important aspect of our emotional well-being. High self-esteem means that we love and accept ourselves for the way we are, and generally feel satisfied most of the time. Low self-esteem means that we are not happy with the way we are.


EVALUATE YOUR SELF-ESTEEM 

Knowing that you have low self-esteem is the first step to improving and overcoming that mental habit. You may have low self-esteem if you have negative thoughts about yourself.


LISTEN TO YOUR INNER VOICE 

When you have thoughts about yourself, determine whether they are positive or negative. If you have trouble evaluating this or noticing a pattern, try writing down thoughts you have about yourself every day for a few days or a week. Then look at the statements for patterns or tendencies.


SET A GOAL TO IMPROVE YOUR SELF-ESTEEM 

The key to developing self-esteem is to turn your inner voice from a negative, critical voice to a positive, encouraging voice. Ultimately, you will have to decide to put in the work of re-framing the way you think about yourself.


USE YOUR JOURNAL FOR GOAL SETTING 

You can set goals for improving yourself without expecting perfection in every aspect of your life. Your goals should be clear and specific, but allow some “wiggle room” for imperfection.


FORGIVE YOURSELF FOR BEING IMPERFECT ï‚¢

Remember that you, like everyone, are human. You do not have to be perfect to have high selfesteem. If you can accept yourself as you are, even if you are trying to improve in some areas, you will have much higher self-esteem.


RECOGNIZE UNREACHABLE STANDARDS 

Perfection is a state that is subjective and often self-imposed. It's okay to hold yourself to higher standards, but often, those standards are idealistic because life doesn't always go as planned. It is easy to get frustrated when you cannot match our ideal image of yourself.


FORGIVE YOURSELF 

You can learn to prevent this very human tendency from becoming unproductive by becoming more forgiving of yourself when things don't go the way you'd like, and more supportive of ourselves by feeling good in our accomplishments and strengths so we can truly enjoy being who we are right now at this very moment.
