Tips On How To Have High Self Esteem

By Leilani Petric


A sad fact of life is that often times we end up in a rut. Sometimes these are brought on by unusually troubling circumstances, other times it is brought on simply by our unwillingness to move forward. Whatever the case may be this article will offer some tips when it comes to getting yourself back on your feet.

Volunteering your time can be a very life-changing experience. Hospitals, soup kitchens, even local churches need volunteers for many tasks. Giving of your time and your self can make you feel needed and help others at the same time. You will meet new people who are all working together for a valuable cause.

Define your best nature and act upon it. Knowing who you are in any given situation means carefully examining your actions before you act. There are times where your worst reaction is the easiest to tap into, yet taking a moment to reflect on the outcome of that reaction can change the dynamic of the situation in moments.

For self improvement, you should try to avoid procrastination. When you procrastinate, you are less likely to do what needs to be done. If you have something important that needs to be done, you should try to do it right away. As time passes, the task may not seem as important and you may never do it at all.

Take the time to cook a good meal. If you are loading you body with quick bites to eat from the fast food restaurant or convenience store, you are surely not getting the nutrients that your body needs to perform to its potential and this can leave you feeling stressed and angry.

Get to know the real you. There are people who like to only see the positive in them and choose to ignore the negative. There are also people who choose to be fixated on the negative parts and forget about the positive. See the real and true you so that you can appreciate what you have and develop the areas that need it.

Many people struggle with low self esteem, it is an ongoing battle. To combat these feelings, write scripts for yourself and leave them in various locations. For example, you could leave a note for yourself in your car that says "I know I will do a great job on the presentation today" or "I know more about Project X than anyone else". Positive reinforcement is key to help you get rid of your negative feelings.

A good self help tip to improve relationships is to call, email, or text an old friend you have lost touch with. Starting a new relationship can be difficult, but rekindling an old one can be a great alternative. Since You already know the friend, you will have lots to talk about.

Take time to do something for yourself, every day. Taking time, even as little as fifteen minutes, to do something you enjoy can do wonders for your mood, outlook and motivation. Use this time to relax and re-center yourself, and focus on you. After all, you are the most important person in your life.

Do not just talk to yourself. It is really easy to be an advisor to yourself or others. It is so much harder to actually act on it. So look at advice that you might give someone else if they were in your situation, and listen to your own words. Then act on the advice that you would be giving.

It is perfectly normal and acceptable to find yourself in a rut. However, it is not normal to stay there, and wish to stay there. It is time to get on your feet and start growing again. This article offered some advice that will help jump start you, and get you to that growth you need.
