Our self-esteem affects everything that happens in life. Self-confidence plays a major role in success, because without it you may not even have the courage to just try. Most often it is precisely low self-esteem that occurs when people think of themselves worse than they really are. The reasons for low self-esteem can be caused by the wrong attitude of parents in childhood. Or as a result of any serious stress, such as a break in a relationship with a loved one. But since self-esteem is just what we think of ourselves, it can be raised.
You will need
- 1. The desire to change.
- 2. Patience.
Instruction manual
one
First of all, to increase your self-esteem, stop comparing yourself to others. In this world there will always be those who have something that you do not have, and those who do not have something that you have. It makes no sense to compare yourself with others, everything happened in their life under other circumstances, you can only compare yourself today with your past.
2
Since low self-esteem is usually an inadequate reflection of reality, you need to make a more objective opinion about yourself. With the help of your closest friends, identify your strengths and weaknesses.
3
The next step in raising self-esteem will be to end constant self-criticism. You must stop scolding yourself. It doesn’t matter what you are talking about, career or relationships, avoid self-derogatory statements. Increased self-esteem is directly related to this.
4
If you get a compliment, accept it by saying "thank you." In addition to being ethical in communication, accepting a compliment also influences your self-esteem. Responding to a compliment with something like “nothing special”, you refuse praise, subconsciously believing that you are not worthy of it. Therefore, do not belittle your virtues, and accept praise.
5
Sign up for any sports activities - pool, gym, dancing. Improving physical health will also help mental. In addition, a trained body will certainly raise your self-esteem.
6
Do not scold yourself for any mistake. To be mistaken is to be a man; this is common to all, even the most successful of us. Better reward yourself for small successes with nice little things.
7
Try to do exactly what you really like. It's hard to love life if you spend every day at work that you hate. Take care of your hobbies, things that interest you and that make you happier.
eight
Listen first to yourself. You will always meet people who are ready to indicate how to live properly. But only you can figure out what you want from life, so do not betray yourself and your dreams.
note
Do not expect quick and easy success. But remember, everything in this life comes with difficulty.
