Lack of strength or desire to work, a feeling of monotony and meaninglessness of your work - these "symptoms" can indicate your low self-esteem. How to start believing in yourself?
Instructions
Step 1
Do not try to influence areas in which you are vulnerable. Focus on improving the skills of what you already know a little about. Even a faint realization that you can do something will strengthen your faith in yourself. Let's say you play the piano well, then learn new pieces or learn new techniques of playing.
Step 2
Talk to someone who is sympathetic to you. It can be mom, wife, grandmother … Your task is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of yourself. Ask specific questions, for example, in what situation, which your loved one witnessed, I proved myself worthy. Write down the answers. This will also help you learn about those your abilities that you did not know about, or which you did not take seriously.
Step 3
For an objective assessment of your actions, do not deny the obvious, do not try to find only positive sides in everything. Distance yourself from past attitudes and change the habitual pattern of thinking. It is worth admitting your doubts, and fixing on paper the moments of life that cause you uncertainty. Describe why you are being called.
Step 4
On the second sheet of paper, make another list - think about the things that give you confidence. Ask yourself why. Now, re-read everything that has been written to form a complete picture of your strengths and weaknesses. Practice this exercise regularly.
Step 5
Perfectionism is common for many of us. Being a perfectionist is about focusing on unattainable goals. Any mistake will lower self-esteem, which affects absolutely all areas of a person's life, without exception.
Step 6
Draw the line between a specific and achievable goal, a goal that can be achieved temporarily, and a goal that is now completely unattainable for you, for example, to become a high-quality musician without serious training. Record this separation in writing.
Step 7
Keep yourself in good shape - choose the most important from the variety of cases and do them first. Such deeds force us to "pull ourselves together." At the end of them, we get a charge of positive energy, and other things are easier.
