4. In other words, self- esteem is not: Singing your own praises, but more knowing you are enough worth. Thinking you are faultless – since not a soul is – but recognizing you are worthy of being loved and accepted.
5. Self- Esteem Importance: It is vital since it will help you to respect yourself despite your mistakes, and as a result, people around you will respect you as well.
6. How to improve your Self-Esteem Identify your abilities and skills Accept your body no matter what Stop yourself when hearing disapproving comments in your mind
7. Identify your Abilities and Skills When we are able to focus on our outstanding qualities, we learn to love and accept ourselves. By writing a listing of your abilities and skills you will be capable to realize of your enormous value and importance. If you face some trouble preparing the list, ask your friends to assist you with it. The benefits of this exercise will surprise you. You will discover many other talents you were not aware of.
8. Accept your body no matter what To accept your body independently of its size, color or shape is one of the most critical steps in order to get a healthful self esteem. If you feel concerned in relation to your size or weight, then you can visit to a doctor to be sure everything is all right. In addition, you may ask professional support such as nutritionists or personal trainers, for them to assist you to feel comfortable with your health and appearance. Keep in mind that your body is an exclusive and irreplaceable sample that makes a distinction among you and the rest of the world.
9. Stop yourself when hearing disapproving comments in your mind Once, Mahatma Gandhi said: “A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes”. When you allow the access of harmful voices to your head you give them the power to bring discouragement, depression and further negative feelings that therefore, will turn you down. What we need in these cases is to be firm against destructive thoughts by stopping them immediately. To avoid pessimistic conversations is another useful tool to keep away all these unconstructive comments, as well.
10. What I mean is… Of course, life does not consist on feeling content and comfortable all the time. Being up and down during our journey is something normal, what is abnormal is to feel that you are not worthy of love and acceptance. When you are able to acknowledge your great value it becomes your source to get the courage to undertake new projects and the strength to believe in yourself. Furthermore, when we have a good self esteem, it empowers us to make the right decisions in our living.
11. Finally, I want to share this song with you: Do you ever feel like a plastic bagDrifting through the wind, wanting to start again?Do you ever feel, feel so paper thinLike a house of cards, one blow from caving in?Do you ever feel already buried deep?Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thingDo you know that there's still a chance for you'Cause there's a spark in you?You just gotta ignite the light and let it shineJust own the night like the 4th of July'Cause baby, you're a fireworkCome on, show 'em what you're worthMake 'em go, oh, oh, ohAs you shoot across the skyBaby, you're a fireworkCome on, let your colors burstMake 'em go, oh, oh, ohYou're gonna leave 'em falling downYou don't have to feel like a waste of spaceYou're original, cannot be replacedIf you only knew what the future holdsAfter a hurricane comes a rainbowMaybe you're reason why all the doors are closedSo you could open one that leads you to the perfect roadLike a lightning bolt, your heart will blowAnd when it's time, you'll knowYou just gotta ignite the light and let it shineJust own the night like the 4th of July'Cause baby you're a fireworkCome on, show 'em what you're worthMake 'em go, oh, oh, ohAs you shoot across the skyBaby, you're a fireworkCome on, let your colors burstMake 'em go, oh, oh, ohYou're gonna leave 'em falling downBoom, boom, boomEven brighter than the moon, moon, moonIt's always been inside of you, you, youAnd now it's time to let it through'Cause baby you're a fireworkCome on, show 'em what you're worthMake 'em go, oh, oh, ohAs you shoot across the skyBaby, you're a fireworkCome on, let your colors burstMake 'em go, oh, oh, ohYou're gonna leave 'em falling downBoom, boom, boomEven brighter than the moon, moon, moonBoom, boom, boomEven brighter than the moon, moon, moon Song: Firework by Katy Perry
