Low self esteem can be damaging to one's life and career.In such a modern and competitive age, it is necessary to harbour optimism and hope instead of indulging in self hate and despair.Accept and forgive yourself everyday and harness the power of your thoughts and beliefs to build a sense of strong self esteem.Here are a few ways to help you with it:
Start your day with a smile: Everyday when you wake up, look at the mirror and smile at yourself. Just a simple smile can relieve your tension and brighten up your mood. Starting your day with a smile can keep you happy and positive throughout the day.
Practice Confidence and say‘I can’: Inculcate confidence within you which is the most important thing for survival in today’s world. Concentrate on your positive aspects and work on them to achieve success. Never have a loser’s attitude and always say to yourself that you are capable enough to accomplish anything that you have set your heart upon.
Stop comparing yourself to others: Yes! You must have heard it number of times, and I will say it again, ‘You are unique and supremely special! Trying to be like someone else or trying to live up to someone else’s expectations makes you lose your individuality. Accept your flaws and concentrate on being the best version of you not somebody else because there can be no other ‘You’
Learn to appreciate and reward yourself: Don’t hesitate to compliment yourself and always remind yourself of your constructive qualities. Make a list of all your positive qualities in a diary which will boost your morale. Also groom yourself and try to dress and look nice. That will increase your confidence in social situations.
