Self-esteem determines a lot: successes and failures, character, life path. A person with high self-esteem is not afraid to declare himself, he is actively pursuing a career and getting to know the opposite sex. A person with low self-esteem, on the contrary, feels like a failure, so it can be very difficult for him to take the first step in any important matter.
Instructions
Step 1
1. Take a sheet of A4 paper and write down all your achievements: a profession in which you are a valuable specialist, your education, courses taken, certificates, diplomas, dozens of books read, creative work, the birth and development of children. Now look at yourself from the outside. You are a beautiful, intelligent and kind person with shining eyes and a big heart!
Step 2
2. When we doubt ourselves, the inner critic speaks in us. This is a critic of the negative attitudes of our parents, our former teachers. Sometimes it's helpful to imagine yourself as a little five-year-old and think of a caring adult who will pat you on the head and say that everything you do is wonderful.
Step 3
3. Engage in self-development - this is the easiest and most honest way to believe in yourself. If you doubt your education - read more books, refresh your university knowledge, learn foreign languages. Do not like the body - go in for sports, start taking care of yourself. If you want to learn to sing or draw, sign up for a course and develop a new skill.
Step 4
4. Body language. Self-development is an important key to gaining self-confidence. However, external presentation and body language are also very important. If you are wearing beautiful clothes or a business suit, the smile and posture of a confident person, then it will be much easier for you to believe in yourself and convince others of this. Because, as A. P. Chekhov said: "Everything should be beautiful in a person: face, clothes, thoughts, and soul."
Step 5
5. Don't compare yourself to others, compare yourself to yourself. There are people who have achieved much greater success, and there are those who have not achieved anything. Therefore, it will be much more effective not to surf the Internet, looking at other people's photos, but to remember what you were like ten to fifteen years ago. Angular, insecure teenagers who turned into beautiful swans! And this is a real reason to be proud of yourself!
