What are good ways to boost your self esteem?
457756
Here are some suggestions for boosting your self-esteem: \n\n"Be positive about yourself and accept compliments that point out your strengths and abilities. \nBe realistic about what you can do. Trying to be perfect and comparing yourself with other people can damage your self-esteem. \nRecognize that everyone makes mistakes. When you make a mistake, do not put yourself down. You can learn from your mistakes. \nListen carefully to others, without judging. \nRespect people's differences. Recognize their strengths and\naccomplishments. Acknowledge the things others do that help your family, your workplace and your community. \nSupport and encourage other people's efforts to learn new things. \nGive people in your family unconditional love. For example, when a child does something wrong, make it clear that you dislike the behaviour, but you still love the child. \nSpend time with people who make you feel good. Do things that make you feel worthwhile."  Hope that helps. \n \nI got that info from site listed below.

Do something for someone else.  Not only will it be nice for the other person it will help you get your mind off of your own problems.  \n\nDrinking, shopping and eating are all quick fixes and may help for a while but I think that you need to look for something more long term that will make you happy.  \n\nWhat do you like doing?  What do you love doing?  Things like guitar, writing, chess, gardening, painting.  \n\nTry different things untill you find something you like.  \n\nAlso make yourself goals and try to stick to them.  \n\nTo get more self esteem you should do things that make you proud of yourself rather than external beauty.  \n\nOh and about finding god.  God is great if you truly have faith but dont try to use it as a band aid for your problems.\nGood luck.

Simply believe in yourself. You could do anything just as good or better than any other person, if you really wanted to.\n\nTake TV commercials for example, you've seen some pretty stupid ones before, right? And you probably thought, "I could do a better job than that!"\nAnd more than likely, you could!!\nAnd so it is, with most everything.

I usually cheer myself up by going to rent movies, buy new clothes, get a haircut or color, go out to eat, listen to music I love, call a friend, go for a drive...Hope this helps...

I was much like you, but I have gained alot of confidence by working out at a gym, playing tennis, taking aerobics, karate, going for a run...Any physical activity is good, it releases chemicals from the brain that help releave stress and make you feel better. Also,in public you could try helping someone less fortunate and giving compliments to people.

Learn about yourself. We all have special gifts and talents that we can share with others. Celebrate yours. If you have flaws that you think you can change, take steps to change them. Choose to be ok with what you cannot change. \n\nEvery day, take little steps to appreciate being alive. Yesterday, I saw a pretty painted piece of wood, I had a lovely conversation with my neighbor and I had a tasty piece of bbq chicken. Look for your little joys.  Smile and say hello to everyone you see. Make it a point to go out and find people to be near. \n\nLove and be kind to yourself.

take it with simple easy steps.  first look in a mirror.  thank about how great you really are.  you are somebody.  you are special.  there is nobody else in the whole world exactly like you.  there is something that you and only you can do to make the world better.\n\nthen go out, shop, go to school, whatever, any place where you pass people.  And SMILE.  See what happens.  Most of the time, someone will smile back.  that is the power you have to make a difrference.  anyone can do that.  you can do that.

i would suggest you see a psychologist or psychiatrist on a regular basis.  you just go in there and talk to him/her and you can hear yourself talk and get some issues taken care of.  one thing that helped my self-esteem issues was i started thinking positive.  for instance, when you wake up first thing in the morning, listen to the sounds the birds make.  enjoy the smell of coffee as it brews.  smile at your loved ones.  these ideas for thinking positively may seem weird to you, but I'm telling you, they do work.  and last, but not least, believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is absolutely wonderful.  He takes care of me everyday.  all you have to do is acknowlege that you have been a sinner and ask Jesus Christ into your heart and He will come to you and take care of you from then on.  don't laugh, it's true.

Before you roll out of bed in the morning, count your blessings, and tell yourself your are going to have a good day.  Give gratitude in all things. Rejoice in your health. Volunteer for a good cause.  Do at least one thing, anonymously every day that makes someone else happy.  Practice a hobby you love.  Love what you do. Meditate. Pray.  Watch some good comedys.  Read some upbeat or self help books.  Take a class.  Take a walk.  Take it easy.

You should psych yourself by relaxing, giving yourself a "confidence boosting talk", you know, you can do this, you KNOW this, etc. and just walk into it with assurance. Good luck!

Find beauty in the tiniest things - the wood grain on your old desk, the flowers you walk by every day, the pretty displays in store windows. Do some community service - just trust me on this one. Spend a little more time with people who make you feel valued. Watch your favorite movie over and over and over again. Laugh at something, or at nothing. Smile more often - I think smiling is supposed to do something great like release endorphins and make you feel good. Good Luck!

look after yourself, your teeth and hair. Keep your clothes clean and tidy. Be confident, smile a lot, try not to be depressed all the time, people like to be around people who are happy and confident.\nIt doesnt matter what you look like, if you make the best of what you have by keeping groomed and clean and being happy and confident people will feel drawn to you.
