How you get over low self estime?

Answer 1

I've been there and I think the first step is recognizing it. More people need to realize that any perfect being that created us did so for a reason. I also believe we each carry a piece of that being within us. "If god is an ocean, I am a glass of god."

Be nice to yourself. Many people with low self-esteem have no trouble being loving and supportive with the people they care about, start being that way with yourself. Look at yourself with love, like a friend would.

Exercise your power. Start with cloud busting and traffic magic. Have you read "Illusions, The Reluctant Messiah" by Richard Bach? It's awesome and a fun, short, easy read. Once you try it, you'll see you have more power than you think.

Keep at it. Don't let a bad day ruin your whole program to improve your self image. Nobody else is better than you. Happiness is not something that comes along, it is a choice.

Namaste,
Gwen

First, self-estime is spelled self-esteem. I believe first and foremost is healthy choices; working out, eating right, exercise and exercising your mind also. Do not sit around doing nothing all the time. Do not have work be your whole world. Activities and some type of social interaction is mandatory on a fun scale. Education cannot be underestimated even if it means educating oneself. Smile more, be nice to people and remember that whatever you put out you receive back!!

Answer 3

Find out what is causing it. Then work on that. If it is something physical that you can't change then you will have to adapt. I am not quick to recommend therapy but in extreme cases it is the only way to get at a problem you cannot help yourself with or get no help from others on. I hope that you are physically normal because that won't give you an excuse to overcome this. If you have a psychological esteem problem it needs to be explored by a counselor or therapist. This is not something to play with. This can be very complex.

You have to build confidence in yourself. Take the time to write out a list of all your positive traits. Like I'm honest, hard working, dependable, reliable, kind, compassionate, smart, talented, etc. Look at this list daily and tell yourself that you are a good person with lots of traits to build your confidence on. Repeat your list over to yourself 1 to 2 times a day. Start believing and thinking positive thoughts about yourself, tell yourself you have great self esteem, Their is no one else like you in this whole wide world, you are unique and you are a great person. If you falter the first 3 or 4 times just keep affirming your positive traits to yourself. You will have to convince your mind of this, you can do it, I have confidence in you. I practice this daily especially if I begin to feel depressed. It really works, you can build up your own self esteem. I think everyone would feel better if they practiced this in their lives too. Take care! Hugs! Von
