There Are Several Ways To Improve Poor Self Esteem

By Vanessa Summer


Those who have poor self esteem typically know it. Your self esteem has an effect on your outlook. Self doubt and negative thinking is a common consequence. The dangerous part about low self esteem is it may trigger several outcomes to turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. But for some people, changing this around can be done with enough information, hopefully some support and persistence.

Remember that poor self esteem is a a learned behavior that can be altered. Your concept of self is determined by a lot of things. If you did not receive praise and support when you were young, that would adversely affect your self image. Our parents and teachers have a significant effect on us during our formative years. How our friends at school relate to us will affect our self image too. Previous experiences of poor self image can lead to life-long beliefs.

The initial step is to resolve to bettering your feeling of self worth. Resources on self-help can increase your personal power. Changes like this occur step by step and require doggedness. Persistence is very important, taking it slowly but sleadily. Noticing your thoughts is a good place to start. As you go through your day, observe how you feel with great care. In time, you will realize the scope of your specific thought processes. You have to realize what you are working with so you will be aware of what you need to do.

Many approaches are available to work with. So maybe merely start by working on your mindset. Rather than thinking nothing you do turns out good, or is successful, then start with that. Make it a practice to replace each terrible thought you notice with a good one. Find time to do particular techniques. Ask yourself what is good about this situation. You will for certain find something that was positive. It's not important what it was. Look for more great things to feel optimistic about.

Noticing what's great will soon become second nature. You can set off to develop a totally new attitude. Likewise, start preparing your mind to ward off all the mental chatter and junk. Success is certain if you work hard at it. If you constantly practice you will acquire a much better mindset.
