Improving Your Self Esteem

Now that you are ready to take responsibility of how you see yourself, try these tips:

• Keep your Emotional Timeline in mind.
• Recognize that comparing yourself to others often makes you feel "less".
• Make sure your self-talk is positive.
• Fill your life with things that work for you and things you are good at.
• Be kind to yourself.
• Focus on what you can control and recognize what you can't control.
• Surround yourself with people who appreciate who you are right now.

Most importantly, understand that just having a great self-esteem says nothing about how good of a person you are. There are plenty of dangerous and hateful people who think the world of themselves. However, if you combine self-esteem with compassion for others, you will be someone who people look to for leadership. They will see that you are neither bogged down by your past nor scared of your future. Instead you are ready to face the day with confidence and kindness. You will be someone that others are naturally drawn to.

When you start to question yourself, "can I really do this?" Remember, every day is another opportunity to be a better person. Each little step will make a difference.
