Learn How to Overcome Low Self Esteem

By Zoe Smith


One of the most important things we will ever learn is how to love ourselves. By doing so, we will live a more beautiful life because we see things more clearly and we do not put undue expectations on the people in our lives. Unfortunately, many people today are walking with their heads bowed down. Find out how to overcome low self esteem with a few simple and practical tips today.

1. Learn more about yourself. Take a mental inventory of your strengths and weaknesses and appreciate the things you do well. Make an effort to improve your weaknesses but do not dwell on them. Also find out the things you love to do and do them! When you enjoy life as you-it is easier to love yourself well.

2. Say no to self-pity. The opposite of this is doing good to somebody else. Self-pity makes you wallow in negative emotions and is never a good place to be in. Begin to look to others and how you can be of help to them instead. It will lift the load off your shoulders. You don't need to spend a lot of money or do something really hard, a smile or a good word is sometimes all it takes to make somebody's day.

3. Disengage yourself from negative influences. It's good to take constructive criticism, but people who constantly put you down are not good to have around. Notice that people who are negative and are always complaining never seem to be happy. Surround yourself with happy and optimistic people and watch your general outlook and energy change for the better.

4. Learn how to receive compliments. People think it's humble to think low of themselves; or they really don't have a high opinion of who they are. Stop right there. Know this: you are important and you are a valuable contribution to people around you. Accept the compliments given to you graciously. Even if they aren't completely accurate, respect the opinion of the giver of the compliment and be happy about yourself!

5. Don't be in comparison with people. Each person has a different story. You might feel frustrated because you don't see yourself as the person you want to be ye, not like your sister, brother or friend-but don't let that dishearten you. You'll be blessed if you keep doing what you know is right. Improving self esteem also means that you are able to be happy when other people are successful.

6. Know that you have a purpose. Everything about you is there for a reason. The family that you have, the face that you are born with, the time you are in and the place that you are at-they all come together to bring you towards your destiny. There is nobody that is like you and nobody else who can do what you're supposed to do. When you realize this, you can overcome low self esteem.

You are special-you are. Improving self esteem is not an overnight event but a gradual process that requires commitment to see it through. There is nobody else who can do it for you. Enjoy the journey knowing who you are and the wonderful life that you can have-the world is waiting for you!
