is there any way to enhance self esteem?

Answer 1

I am trying to enhance mine by learning who my Heavenly Father made me to be. I am doing that by reading and studying His word - the Bible. I figure I can't love others until I love myself.

Answer 2

To enhance self esteem one has to stop thinking about self and start thinking about others. As soon as this happens and time and energy are given in the interests of others, self esteem will begin to build. A good way to do this is to volunteer at a food bank, soup kitchen, children's hospital, etc. This will make the person feel they matter and make a difference to people. Continue until self esteem is no longer an issue and giving of yourself is a reflex. This will cause the person to feel better about themselves and cause others to think highly of the person as well.

Answer 3

it's impossible to just snap out of it and think more highly of yourself..i would suggest just be yourself and maybe get involved in an activity that you like like dancing, swimming, painting, anything really...when you obtain a skill, become good at something and ENJOY IT (you don't have to be the best to have good self esteem) then you begin to feel like you are enhancing yourself...treating people nicely and not letting others treat you unfairly also helps a lot. And remember, in life there's always going to be people that are better than you at something, and you'll be better at some things than other people around you....don't compare yourself to others...because no one is YOU! You are a unique person, no one else in the world like you! so, just find something to learn and enjoy it...maybe you'll make new friends with similar interests, and making friends tohan out with also helps "self esteem"...if their is such a thing....i think it's more about growing and getting to know yourself.

Answer 4

yes there are many ways to do that.

Lower self esteem is a relative term. "Lower as compared to what?"
Try and figure out answer to this question for yourself.

The most painful feeling is "feeling rejected" ... people experiencing "Lower self esteem" have this feeling in common.. feeling of rejection. They start fearing rejection so they start fearing the action.

Please understand the only way to boost your morale is to get up and do some productive work. Keep your self engaged in activities you like most. Be in the company of friends. Laugh a lot. and above all respect yourself as a unique entity of this planet.
No body is like you... so why should you try to be like someone else.

"You are the most important person for yourself." Just remember this line. No one on this planet can think and take decisions for you. You have to take charge of your life.

Answer 5

yeah of course! Get a make over, lose some weight or do something postive with your self. Do something you thought you could never ever do! You have to like your self so that you can love your self, thats the only way others are going to like you too! Why should people like you if you dont even like your self!

Answer 6

Lie to yourself. Actually you wont be lying to yourself but it will feel like it because you've been lying to yourself for a long time now. Convincing you that you aren't good enough. Most likely someone or many someones have taught you to feel like you aren't enough. I'm sorry that always sucks. but its never too late. Start reminding yourself of your good features and even if you don't believe the words at first, constantly remind yourself you ARE a great person and deserve great things. After time the devil on one shoulder will be more soft spoken as your angel reminds you hes full of it. Let the battle begin. It'll take time but it works. And you've been down on yourself too long.

Answer 7

Yes!!!
U can just improve ur self...
Like if u r very slim man...
U can do some exercises & also gain weight....
If u r a bad student, just do a little hardwork....
If u r fat, just try to loose weight...
If u r not doing ur job correctly, & ur boss says he may fire u, or likewise, just make ur worth in front of ur boss,

The point is that if u improve urself, automatically ur self esteem will raise...
Or Enhance....
or whatever....
Better.....

& u will like better & better for urself.......
Do I make myself clear???

Answer 8

funny, I was thinking about posting a similar question. No matter what I do or how I succeed I feel incompetent. But I didn't post the question cause i knew people would post fluffy BS answers that I've heard a million times before....

Answer 9

Maybe work out. That's what I did. I wasn't confident with myself, but after I was close to the physique I was hoping for, I liked myself more.

It's also important to be around supportive people.

Answer 10

When it seems no one else cares, you will always care for you. When it seems no one else loves you, you will always love you.
When it seems you have no one else, you will always have you.

Of course other people matter, but you are the one who matters the most because you are the one who will always be there. I have learned to not care what other people think. As long as I like me, all is good, and when other people see you like you, if they are worthy of your liking them, they will like you no matter what. If they don't like you - they're not worthy of your time.

Just keep smiling knowing that you matter!!
