Here are 3 ways to help boost your self-esteem
This month is International Boost Self-Esteem Month. Many young people find it difficult to have good self-esteem and often put themselves down because they don’t think they are good enough or worthy of even the smallest compliment. Many who have low self-esteem end up giving themselves severe anxiety or depression because of having low self-esteem. Here are 3 ways to help boost your self-esteem from hpalivewell.com:
“Stop the negative self-talk”
Telling yourself that you are a failure, ugly, annoying, etc. only puts you down and gets you nowhere in life. Pay attention to the way you think about yourself and don’t try to criticize every little thing about yourself. When you start to think negatively, try to challenge and change those negative thoughts.
“Accept your “flaws”
If you wish to be “perfect”, I’m sorry to be so blunt, you never will be. Perfection is only something God can achieve and none of us will be perfect until we get to Heaven. So to actually get somewhere in life and to progress, we have to accept these qualities of ourself. There are also all those “flaws” that are changeable and if you wish you can change them! For those that are unchangeable, you have two choices, “you mull it over, or you can choose acceptance.” Being able to accept yourself, including all of your flaws, doesn’t mean that you have to like it, it just means you allow yourself not to get controlled by them.
“Practice self-care”
Being able to take care of yourself is an excellent way to improve your self-esteem. “Boosting your self-care routine you will feel better about yourself…” that means taking care of yourself, your living area, and making sure to check in on yourself to see how you are doing. Self-care is a tiring process and will involve you to continue doing it, even if you think you don’t need to anymore or don’t want to.
