6 WAYS TO BUILD SELF-ESTEEM

6 ways to build self - esteem

Here are six behaviours that can kick-start your self-motivation everyday.

1.Greet everybody with a smile.
A smile can go a long way to convey self-confidence to others. When others think you feel confident, they respond to your confidence, which in turn, builds more self-confidence. (Yes it is circular. )
2.Be thankful for what others do.
Don’t downplay or overplay your appreciation for the contributions of other people. The ability to graciously receive from others is a mark of individual self-esteem.
3.Be modest about your accomplishments.
those who have true confidence in their abilities don’t waste time bragging about their accomplishments.
4.Stop talking about your problems. Firstly, people don’t want to hear about your problems. Everyone is likely facing some sort challenge in their life and yours is not anymore important to others. Secondly, negative self-talk, whether internal or external, will only serve to eat away at your self-esteem.
5.Respond to difficult circumstances. The old adage says, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.” The best response to difficult circumstances is to tackle the challenges. Look for solutions to the problem(s). As you focus on working through the difficulty, you’ll find you’re developing more confidence to face problems.
6.Learn from your mistakes. You’re not going to be perfect everytime you try something. Don’t view set-backs and failures as an end. Look for lessons you can take the experience, move back to step 5 and try again.
