Self-esteem is an important aspect of life as it affects how we think, feel, and behave. It is the confidence we have in ourselves and our abilities. And it’s the respect we have for ourselves too.

Improving self-esteem can be a challenging task, but it is not impossible.

Here are 10 tips for how to improve your self-esteem:

10 TIPS FOR IMPROVING SELF-ESTEEM

1. Stop comparing yourself to others:

Everyone is on their unique journey through life, and you’re on yours. There is no comparison.

A major issue for people today is the way social media makes it almost inevitable that we compare ourselves to others. We see so much of what they’re doing every time we pick up our smartphones.

It can be easy to believe that they’re doing better than us. Then we fall into the trap of feeling inadequate or not good enough.

Remember, social media creates a false view of reality.

The idea that everyone is doing well except you is simply misleading. Everyone has their fair share of life’s problems, despite anything social media might suggest. Everyone struggles from time to time.

So, don’t compare yourself to what you believe others are doing. Instead, focus on your progress and accomplishments.

2. Embrace your flaws:

No one is perfect, and it’s important to remember that everyone has flaws.

Instead of focusing on your flaws and feeling bad about them, try to find ways to embrace them.

For example, if you have freckles, embrace them as a unique feature of your face.

Perhaps you’re not good with words. So what? There are plenty of people who are not good with words. So, make a joke about it rather than let it bother you. Make it part of your authenticity and personal charm.

3. Focus on the positive:

We can all find ourselves thinking about all the negative things in our lives. It’s human nature really, but focusing on the negative can have a detrimental effect on self-esteem.

So, instead, make a habit of focusing on the positive things in your life.

This can be as simple as writing down three things you are grateful for daily. There’s always something for which we can be grateful, even if it’s just a favourite television show or enjoying coffee with a friend.

4. Surround yourself with positive people:

We are the people with whom we mix. Human beings are social animals, and we live within groups. The people within those groups can have a significant impact on our self-esteem.

Being accepted by the group requires us to be a reflection of the other members. If they’re cynical, sarcastic, and negative, then we gradually become the same, if only to fit in. However, that negativity is not good for our self-esteem.

So, we need to spend time with people who uplift us and make us feel good about ourselves. Therefore, we must avoid those people who bring us down or make us feel bad about ourselves.

5. Treat yourself with kindness:

The way we talk to ourselves can have a big impact on self-esteem.

We must be kind to ourselves and avoid negative self-talk.

We must talk to ourselves as we would to a friend. If a friend came to us with a problem, we would be supportive and understanding, right?

So, why wouldn’t we want to treat ourselves with the same kindness?

We must always be kind to ourselves.

6. Set goals and achieve them:

Nothing boosts our confidence and self-esteem like an achievement.

So, setting and achieving goals can be a great way to boost self-esteem.

We start by setting small, achievable goals and work our way up to bigger ones.

As we achieve our goals, we start to feel more confident in ourselves and our abilities. It’s a virtuous circle.

7. Take care of yourself physically:

Our physical health and well-being are essential to self-esteem.

Taking care of ourselves is important for our overall well-being and can also help improve our self-esteem.

So, we must make sure we are getting enough sleep, eating well, and getting regular exercise. When we take care of ourselves, we feel better both physically and mentally.

8. Practice emotional self-care:

Our emotional well-being is as important as our physical health.

So, we must learn to take care of ourselves emotionally by taking time to relax and do the things we enjoy.

This can be anything from reading a book to taking a long bath, going for a walk, or listening to a favourite piece of music.

9. Learn something new:

When we possess knowledge, we tend to get the respect of others. And obviously, that’s good for our self-esteem.

So, learning something new can be a great way to boost self-esteem.

It can be something small, like learning a new recipe, or something bigger, like taking a class.

The act of learning something new can make you feel accomplished and can help to build self-confidence.

10. Give it time:

It takes time and effort to build self-esteem, but by incorporating these tips into our daily lives, we can improve.

Why passion is the key to success

WHY PASSION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESSHave you ever wondered why passion is the key to success, dear reader?

If success is your aim then received wisdom suggests that you should find your passion. You’ve heard that before I’m sure. However the phrase is now spoken so often that it has become a bit of a cliché, don’t you think?

And of course, once something becomes a cliché then it’s hard to take it seriously, wouldn’t you agree?

Then again, just because something has become a cliché doesn’t in itself mean that it lacks an underlying truth.

It must matter to you:

From experience, I can tell you that if you really want to succeed at anything then whatever it is must matter to you. And I’m not talking about mattering just a little bit. I mean it really, really, really must matter to you. It must be as important to you as the air that you breathe.

You can call it a ‘passion’; you can call it something with which you have a ‘sense of connection’; or you can call it your ‘Why’.

Whatever you call it, you’ll only have the determination to see it through as far as it goes if it actually matters to you.

Make your mark:

How lucky are those people who find something in life that matters so much that it drives them to make their mark? To be recognised for making a significant contribution to their chosen pursuit.

That pursuit could be painting or writing or playing a musical instrument. It may be computers or fast cars. It may be starting a business and making serious money. Whatever it is, it’s that special something which for those people is not only interesting and absorbing but rewarding too.

It becomes so important to them that it would be their hobby if they couldn’t make a living at it. Because they love it so much, it’s not really working at all, for them it’s a pleasure.

It’s not work if you’d do it anyway:

It’s something for which they have a sense of enthusiasm or ‘passion’ and instinctively they recognise that it’s what they’re good at. And of course, because they love it, they practise and keep practising. And because they practise they hone their skills and they get even better at it. This creates a virtuous circle.

Constant practise will help you excel and reach the very top of your game.

Sadly for most people, that special something is something they never find.

If you haven’t found it, keep looking:

However, if you’ve yet to find that special something, you must never stop looking. One day you might just stumble upon it and it’s never too late for you to become the person you really could be.

That’s why passion is the key to success.
