Increase your self-esteem by keeping and following through with every commitment you make; even the ones that you did not like to keep. The more you keep your commitments to yourself and others, the higher your self-esteem becomes.
2. Be true to yourself
When you keep your commitments you are being true to
yourself.
However, when you break your commitments, then you
are not being true to yourself because you are not doing
what you said you would do.
The more you keep your commitment to yourself and
others the higher your self-esteem will become.
3. Small things matter
Even the smallest commitments matter.
For example, if you say you will be at your friend’s house
at 2 p.m., but you do not arrive there until 3 p.m., you did
not keep your commitment and your self-esteem will
decrease.
Or, if you say you will finish reading a book in one week,
but you do not finish until three weeks later, your self-
esteem will decrease.
The longer it takes you to accomplish your commitment,
the lower your self-esteem will become.
4. Follow through
If you end up making a commitment that you did not
really want to make, you still need to follow through on it.
When you break your commitments you are only harming
yourself and lowering your self-esteem because you were
the person who made the commitment.
When you keep your commitment to others, it is for you to
grow your self-esteem, not as so much for the other
person.
5. Achieve more things in life
When you build the habit of keeping your commitments,
you build the habit of taking action.
You will be able to accomplish many things in life.
Every time you accomplish something and keeping your
commitments, you are telling the world and most
importantly to yourself that you can and will accomplish
anything you say you will do.
You will be able to accomplish all of your goals.
6. Keep track of your commitments
If you have failed to keep to your commitments,
there are two things you can do.
First, ask yourself, “Do I make more commitments that
I can handle?” Remember, you only have 24 hours in
a day and that may mean you do not have time for
everyone.
Second, do you make commitments that you do not
want to make?
When you make commitments just to impress others,
you are unlikely to keep them.
In this case, you have to be strong and say “no,” and
only make commitments that you want to make.
7. See to change
As you make better commitments and keep
them, you will feel amazing about yourself.
The more amazing you feel about yourself, the
higher your self-esteem will be.
