how do you build up your self-esteem?

Answer 1

The first thing you need to do to start building up your self esteem is to look in the mirror when when you wake when you look ugly and your breath stinks and say five times that you are beautiful. Then once you freshen up and make yourself look good and look in the mirror again and say I am beautiful five times once more and walk out of the house smiling.

Answer 2

This seems a little open ended, but ill give it a wirl. The first thing you need to do is really get to know yourself. You are probally have already thought of a few things you hate about yourself (chubby, big eyes w/e).

Accept those things understand the many perspectives people see with (helps if you have some life experience in this). Now think of the things you have to offer people (great personallity, down to earth so on) and realise there are people that will like those. (I for example would rather a down to earth person thats a thinker over a hot brainless chick anyday).

If you learn to accept the things you cant change, and use your power to change the things you can then the skys the limit.

Answer 3

By improving areas of your life that need work. For instance, if you think you are fat, you should excercise and eat healthy. If you hate the way you dress, you should explore your style, do some shopping, buy some magazines and get some ideas. Those are just examples, but taking initiative in your life can really make you feel better about your self, as well as improve whatever it is that's bothering you. Also, think of all the good things about you when you feel like you're becoming bogged down with bad things. Love yourself!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

get on of those self books from the library or book shop. you don't have to be a good reader just Sim through the pages for individual tips that speak to you. I've a lot of books on communicating with others and i find them helpful and interesting to read. also you can get in contact with your local mental health team and ask about different groups and courses you can join. most of all its about believing in yourself as a person in their own right. socializing is great so try and go out for walks or so9something. open yourself to changing your mind about people.
also question what/who has made you feel low sel-esteem in the first place.

Answer 5

It starts with the self-awareness. knowing that there is only one you in the world..unique, special you can name it. Make sure your appearance and what you do on a daily basis is worth the respect and you will automatically feel your presence in people's lives in whatever circles you find yourself.

Be confident in your talents and learn to impress by what you know you are too good at..remember you should never try comparing yourself with others in wanting to be like them but rather learn good skills from them that could possible fit in your character and be-ing..its about you (self) building your (self) respect/regard (esteem).

its you and you with your life.

Answer 6

Positive self talk is a great way to start. Write up a list of things you like about yourself. Read them in the morning and before bed. When you set a goal and reach it, reward yourself with a congrats. If you don't reach it give yourself kudos for trying. Remember that what other people think isn't a reflection of you. Only what you think of your own self is truly important. I have done a lot of this type of work for myself. Email me if you want to discuss it.

Answer 7

i used to have low self esteem. i bought beauty books that helped with my appearance, i grew my hair out so that it looked much better, dance to your favourite music like a wild chimpanzee in front of your bedroom mirror! tell yourself "You are a lovely person" everyday in the mirror. (This genuinely works!!!!!!) Find better friends if you are able to that dont put you down all the time witout you really noticing (I had this problem)

Answer 8

By working hard to change the things in your life you see as having a negative impact on your emotions. Look for the positives, and learn not to dwell on things that are beyond your control. Sleep well.. Eat well.. Exercize.. and find excuses to laugh. :)

Answer 9

Make a point of loving yourself. Think of your own good points as often as you wish. And never ever take nasty people who put you down too seriously.

Also, learn to forgive yourself for mistakes you've made.

Answer 10
