Self-esteem plays an important role in the life of every person. By underestimating himself, he will not reach any heights. If you ask such people about the reason for their passivity, they will answer that little depends on them. Psychologists call this disease "little man syndrome." How can you improve your self-esteem?
Instructions
Step 1
The first thing you need to do is believe in yourself. Set a goal for yourself and go towards it no matter what. The journey may be long and difficult, but you must do it. To do this, build a plan of action in your head and, without folding, follow it.
Step 2
Take on new tasks that previously remained a mystery to you. For example, have you never done journalism? Try to write an article. With this, you will not only broaden your horizons, but also gain peace of mind.
Step 3
Don't compare the work you have done with the results of other people. Remember that not always everything will turn out perfectly, everyone has the right to make mistakes.
Step 4
Do not criticize yourself too often, as a person who treats himself negatively will only lower self-esteem and finally “kill” self-confidence. And even more so, avoid self-criticism in the presence of other people.
Step 5
Try not to make excuses to other people. It is enough just to clarify the reasons for your actions in a calm voice.
Step 6
Always praise yourself for the work you have done. If another person praises you, say thank you. You should not answer: "Not worth gratitude", "Come on, it was not difficult for me." Remember that by doing this you are showing that you are not worthy of all the thanks.
Step 7
During the day, repeat to yourself: "I can do anything," "I am the best," "I am the most beautiful," etc. You can even write these phrases somewhere, for example, on your computer desktop.
Step 8
In order to raise self-esteem, some psychologists advise you to take a piece of paper and list your past successes on it. After you write them, put them aside. Take the list the next day and re-read it, re-read it every day, and do not forget to supplement it. You can do the same with your positive qualities.
Step 9
Choose a circle of friends who support you. Also, they should include confident, positive personalities who emit only positive emotions. Remember that the more often you smile, the faster you will increase your self-esteem. But keep in mind that the smile must be genuine.
Step 10
Do whatever you like. If you are not satisfied with your job, you despise it, you have no desire to go to it - quit or change your activity.
Step 11
If nothing helps you, and the situation gets out of control, seek help from a specialist.
