Improve Self Esteem

Practice Self Awareness
Whenever you notice that you are feeling down about yourself, take a moment to recall the moment before you started feeling down. Remember the negative thoughts and words you said to yourself and become aware of their impact. Have a guide or friend help you stay aware.

Imagine saying it to a loved one
Pretend as though you've said your negative thoughts or words to someone you care about. Example: "You still look really big. I doubt that you're idea has any value..." Then imagine saying the loving things you'd rather say to them, to yourself.

Create an I'm Amazing Board
Get a foam poster board and release your inner and outer beauty! Recall memorable moments when you did something, said something, or saw something great within you. Use photos, write down proud memories or draw the images that remind you of your best current qualities. Fill the board until you feel proud!

The above exercises may be difficult to do alone due to negative thought patterns. As a spiritual guide and NLP coach, I love to help support people on this path of positive self esteem and self love.

Reach out to me for support breaking that negative cycle.

3 SELF-ESTEEM KILLERS

Want to build your self-esteem? Watch out for these three potential killers. They're going to try and stop you moving forward. I call them self-esteem killers. It's essential to deal with them. If you don't they will keep trying to pull you back.

1 KILLER #1 - NEGATIVITY
Negativity is your number one enciny, It's the first thing you need to learn to deal with You must stamp it out, I cannot stress this enough it's contagious too.

The truth is we can all the positive for an hour, a day, or evita week. It's stavite positive that's hard. It involves training your brain to recognise, react and deal with negative thoughts. It's essential to eliminate negative thoughts before they spiral out of control Negativity will happily overtake your desire to be more confident and toost your self-esteem.

2 KILLER #2- SELF-WORTH
Do you spend countless hours wishing you could fix yourself! Maybe you think my nose is too big. I am too fat, I am boring Do you seek approval for everything you do? Maybe you convince yourself that you are not worthy of your friends or that you don't deserve to be happy.

There's only one answer to this (and there's no getting out of it it you want to move forward and build your self-esteem you'l need to learn to have self-love.

That can be a really scary thought for some people and one of the hardest challenges they face on their journey. You need to work hard at this if you want to move an The truth is that unless you take charge of yourself you will be your own worst enemy.

3 KILLER #3 SELF-DOUBT
Too many very capable people lack faith in their own abilities. This stops them doing the things they really want to do The main reason for this? A fear of failure. The thought of getting it wrong is enough to stop them doing it.

Self doubt usually stems from someone else. A parent or teacher perhaps. A seed is sown often in childhood That seed grows and rakes its head whenever a challenge arises Fearing failure is not all bad. A little self-doubt can be a good thing. 

It can increase the amount of effort you are willing to exert to achieve your goal. it can actually spar you an if you allow it to think-confidence.com
