Instructions
Step 1
Don't compare yourself to other people. There will always be people who have more than you and less than you. By engaging yourself in constant comparisons, you will be bogged down in a huge number of imaginary opponents that you cannot beat. Apperciate things which you have.
Step 2
Stop blaming and scolding yourself, do not use negative statements about your qualities, character, appearance, financial condition and other aspects of life. Never use self-destructive phrases. Focus on achievements and positive qualities!
Step 3
Choose for communication confident, positive-minded people who are ready to lend a helping hand and provide support! A lot also depends on your environment. If you are surrounded by negative-minded people who are eternally suppressing all your ideas, dissatisfied with life and society, then your self-esteem will only decrease. Limit contact with such individuals.
Step 4
Try to do what you like. Pay attention to what gives you a sense of your own worth, is enjoyable, and helps you grow.
Step 5
List your positive qualities. There must be at least 20 of them! Write them down on a piece of paper and review them periodically. This will help you not only unleash your potential, but it will give you the opportunity to focus on your positive qualities.
Step 6
List your accomplishments. These are your personal victories, successes and joys. Review this list regularly. Close your eyes, feel again all the moments of success.
Step 7
Also use books, audio recordings, trainings, seminars dedicated to increasing self-esteem. Remember, whatever you put into your head affects you and your self-esteem. Therefore, try not to watch negative TV programs.
Step 8
Give more! This is not about money, but about actions. Help those in need, support in word and deed. This will surely raise not only your mood, but also your sense of your own worth.
Step 9
Live your own life and be true to yourself. Be guided by your mind, feelings. The advice of others should not be decisive in your choice.
Step 10
Accept praise and compliments. Never dismiss them with phrases like, "Oh, nothing special." Say "thank you" and add it to your list of accomplishments.
Step 11
Use affirmative phrases to build self-esteem. Place in a conspicuous place a card (postcard, etc.) with the words: "I love and accept myself", "I am a happy, successful person", etc.
Step 12
Take action and develop! Not only accumulate knowledge, but also actively use it in practice. Respond to the challenges of fate and you will feel a pleasant change in your attitude.
