Self help…from http://www.lyndonantcliff.com/positive-thinking/ten-quick-tips-to-improve-your-self-esteem/
1. Do what you love.
Everyone loves to do something, when you indulge yourself in your love
you improve the way you feel about yourself. You improve your self
esteem.
2. Help others out.
Nothing makes you feel a warm glow than when you unselfishly help
others. of course you can argue that this in itself is selfish, but if
you take that line of thought you must think that existence is selfish.
Forget that. Just do a good deed, help someone out, doesn’t have to be
big and it doesn’t have to cost any money.
3. Acknowledge your strengths
There is no one who has no strengths. Everyone is good at something,
know what your good at and give yourself a pat on the back. Do things
that bring this quality out into the open. Excercise it, make it
stronger.
4. Don’t put up with crap.
There is no reason you should tolerate other people being mean to you.
Even if they say they are doing it with love. Make sure people know
they should be nice to you and if they refuse, walk away from them.
5. Drop your negative friends.
Hang out with people who are positive and support you. It may be fun to
bitch and moan but if you hang out with these types of people you will
eventually become one of them. You may have noticed that people who
bitch and moan are never happy.
6. Do your research
A lof of self help books are a waste of time in the sense that the only
person who can change you is you. Reading even this blog post will not
change you unless you get emotionally involved with the information.
Which is really hard as it’s really dry and boring. Go read biographies
of people you respect, people who do positvive things and attain huge
success. Learn from the master not the self help guru who is always in
debt.
7. Learn to accept compliments.
It’s hard to accept a compliment and not to dismiss it as being
ridiculous. Someone has an opinion and it should be respected, even if
you do not argree with it. If people think good about you then maybe
you should too.
8. Include positivity in your life.
I’m not talking an airy fairy chant in the mirror whilst naked. I mean
take a positive slant on everything automatically. The meat pie you
just bit in to may contain maggots, but maggots contain a lot of
protien. OK that’s a bit extreme but you get the point.
9. Compare yourself against yourself.
If you look at how you were yesterday and how you are today and there
is an improvement then that is great. If there is no improvement then
you know you need to improve your efforts. Don’t start comparing your
self to other people. Saying you are poor compared to D. Trump is just
going to make you miserable.
10. There is no need for you to put yourself down.
y seeing yourself in a negative light you are only reinforcing your low
self esteem. If you want to improve your self esteem. Ask yourself, how
can I improve my self esteem. The answer will always be, find one
positive thing about yourself and that will do it.
