How To Raise Self-esteem In 7 Quick Steps

The first thing that you should do is to take a quick step back and appraise your life. For too long you have been looking from the inside out of your life, and you may not be able to spot the mistakes that you have been making, so you need to get yourself out of this perspective and look at the big picture. When you are able to look at the blueprint of your life, then you will be able to see what areas you need to strategise.

Next, you need to breathe deep and find a space where you can meditate and relax. A clear and focused mind is one of the most important things you need to have to be able to regain your confidence and self esteem. When your mind is cluttered with negative thoughts or of work (they are one and the same sometimes), then you are not able to concentrate on the act itself.

You now need to strategise. What is it you want to do. Set down clear objectives of what you want to achieve in regards to your own personal development and set out from there. It can be anything from just gaining a little confidence, too being able to talk to the girl you always liked or to even excel at presentations at work. The thing about this is that when one thing happens, it will spill over to the rest of your life.

Make a list of the things that are uniquely you – the positives and the negatives and with this list, you can now find out what is so bad about you and what your natural gifts are. This way you know what to concentrate on and what areas in your life need improvement. When making this list, always recruit the help of your peers and the people that are around you a lot, and by doing so, your list will more accurately reflect the good and bad about you.

Another thing you need to understand is the need to celebrate you achievements as much as you can, and this is the method of channelling as much positive energy as you can to yourself. Whenever you reach a milestone, have a small celebration and involve as many people as you can. This way, the positive energy counter will build up in your favour.

Also, make a list of these achievements, and this will be called your feel good list. Look at it anytime you need to so that you will feel good about yourself, especially during the times of duress in your life. This list can mean the difference between slipping back into areas of low self esteem and the road to a more confident and convincing you.

Last but not least, you need to track your ‘emotional progress’ – to say the least. Knowing whether or not you are improving will help you to re assess the methods that you are using as well as allow you to understand the seriousness of the problem. If conventional methods like these do not work, then a psychologist could be of help to you.

Using the Law of Attraction to Build Your Child’s Self-Esteem

Are you the parent of a child who readily joins activity groups, participates in sports programs, and completes all the tasks required by his teacher, but never seems to be the one who stands out?

He is never the one who gets that extra nod of attention, or receives recognition or awards for being outstanding in whatever situation he is in.

You know he is bright, puts his best effort forward in everything he does and by all accounts does fine, but each time seems to be out shined by those few children that excel at everything they attempt.

Have you found yourself wondering why your child doesn’t seem to have that little extra edge that those that excel have that makes them just a bit more aggressive on the basketball court, or just a bit more “polished” when they give an oral presentation in class?

What do these children possess that your child doesn’t?

The answer is “self-esteem.”

So you say, “Okay, that’s easy…I just need to tell him more often how great I think he is and reassure him of how smart and talented I know he is!”

Raising your child’s self-esteem is not a simple, one answer fix.

Building healthy self-esteem is a process. It is a process that will grow and expand over time. You are right, however, in realizing that it is something that starts with you, his parent.

The process can begin at anytime in your child’s life. Of course, it is easier to start when they are very young, but building self-esteem can begin at any point in their lives.

Regardless of when it is started, the process is the same.

You, the parent, need to start by having an understanding of the principles of the law of attraction.

If you are not familiar with the law of attraction, there are shelves and shelves in every bookstore with numerous books and programs explaining the Universal law of attraction. I recommend choosing one that appeals to you.

Parenting using the law of attraction is based on the universal law that states what you think and believe you will create as your reality.

So, the first task at hand is to help your child understand this law and how it works.

The basic premise you need to convey is that everything begins as a thought. Your child needs to understand the importance of his thoughts.

Example: Negative thought: “I hope I can get the ball and make a basket at the game today.” Positive thought: “I am going to score five baskets today!”

This example demonstrates the difference between wanting to succeed and believing you will succeed.

The point is to encourage your child to think about himself and his capabilities in a positive way. This can not be done by simply sharing your opinion of how wonderful he is. He knows how much you love him! Unfortunately, in his eyes, the fact that you love him will lower the credibility of your words!

That is not to say you should ever stop praising and showering your child with encouragement.

Your child, however, needs more than the opinion of someone he knows loves him to gain the kind of confidence that will allow him to reach his full potential.

The second part of this process is designed to help your child understand that what happens in his life is within HIS power.

The law of attraction teaches us that we all have the power within us to control what thoughts we will accept and focus on and which ones we will reject. The thoughts we choose are the thoughts that will determine what IS.

Helping your child repeat this “positive mindset” exercise will help him develop the skill to think only positive thoughts and as he sees the positive results from these choices, he will know that he can accomplish whatever he wants to.

He will now have “confidence” in his abilities in whatever situation he faces.

The absolute beauty of the law of attraction is that it works all of the time for everyone. There are no conditions to be met for the principles to occur in your life.

Whether you believe it or accept it or even completely understand it, it IS working.

It will work against us by thinking negative thoughts and it will work for us by thinking positive thoughts.

Your role as the parent is to teach your child how to use his power to CHOOSE what his thoughts will be.

The only difference between your child and those that have that edge to succeed is not that they are brighter, smarter, or more talented… the difference is they BELIEVE they can do whatever they choose to do.

The difference is in their thoughts!

Why Do Women Have Lower Self-Esteem?

Of all adults dealing with low self-esteem, women seem to be the ones who suffer the most. Even women who seem to have it all together and know who they are and want they want tend to be among those who suffer from low self-esteem.

The media has exploded so much in the last few decades that it has lent itself to an increasing demand for women to look perfect: a perfect body, perfect hair, perfect smile… The media has exploited the female population by displaying this false illusion of a perfect woman. It tells women that they will be liked if they wear the right clothes, smell just right, latch onto the perfect mate, etc.

The thing that most women do not realize or understand is that this confidence comes from within. It’s not something that can be handed to you. It’s not something that you will experience after you’ve reached a certain level of perfection. Self-esteem is something that you must cultivate from the inside. Then and only then will you be truly happy and confident in yourself.

If you are a woman struggling with self-esteem issues, here are some tips to help you:

Stop seeking approval from your peers.

Discover everything you like about yourself and build upon those positive attributes.

Be honest about why you don’t feel good about yourself. Then work on changing that.

Walk away from negative situations or people who make you feel bad about yourself.

Remember…only you can control your own self-esteem. Never rely on someone else to make you feel better because those feelings are fleeting and won’t last very long.

Acne And Low Self-Esteem ? How to Deal with It?

Acne results in low self-esteem and demoralized living. In fact, the effect of ugly blotchy marks and oozing pimples is such that some people often feel dreaded to step out of their house.

Acne appears for the very first time during teens – one of the best times in life. During teens a person is at his best in every ways, except the appearance, which is so very important. Also this is the age when one is influenced by everything and everyone surrounding them. The thoughts, the opinions and everything else that ‘friends’ express is so very important then. You have also been through this I suppose as we all have.

Physical perfection has a great emphasis on our society. A slim body, a perfect skin and a glowing complexion are the 3 common agendas. This is always reflected in the way we treat ourselves, think about the person we are and the way we rate ourselves, even though subconsciously.

Developing acne at that stage in life can be a major setback for the confidence of a teen. It makes a person more preoccupied with the thoughts of acne, the shortcomings, the imperfections and the fact that he looks ugly with those blemishes. This builds up a feeling of shame, guilt and low self-esteem that compels the teen to withdraw himself from the world outside. He ends up hating to meet new friends and more so if the new entry is an opposite sex.

Acne is common in boys and girls alike. While some boys don’t really bother about it, girls simply cannot help but think about their acne all the time. In fact, some teens start behaving awkwardly, which makes their discomfort more evident in front of others. And, if by any chance any of the friends pass a remark, it would just act as fuel on fire.

Teens having acne have often shown certain characteristics of low self-esteem, such as:

Excessively concerned about their image

Withdrawing themselves from gatherings and parties

Blaming themselves for no reason at all

Mental and emotional confusion

Anxiety

Depression

Stress

Failing to take responsibilities

So, is there anything that can be done about the low self-esteem?

Well, yes! You just need to change the whole idea that you are looking ugly and you are a mismatch. That’s the first step. Acne is a skin problem that happens to most teens and to adults as well. So, what you need to do is seek some help from your friends and family.

How Want’s to Be a Millionaire If You Don’t Have Self-Esteem?

Who Wants to be a Millionaire if You Don’t Have Self-Esteem?

Think of a time when you felt genuine happiness. How did that feel? What was the situation?

In my own case, the times when I feel really, really happy are often when I’m out walking on my own in the forest. Nothing special has happened. Nothing has changed in my life. I have not won the lottery and I have not got promoted. I simply feel happy. The world looks beautiful. My life seems easy and purposeful. I feel blessed. In other words, the feeling of happiness comes from inside myself rather than from any external source.

If genuine happiness comes from inside yourself, becoming a millionaire wouldn’t make you any happier than what you are now. Getting promoted wouldn’t make you a happy person. Living in a beautiful house and having a sports car wouldn’t turn you into Mr Happiness. Only YOU can make yourself happy.

You may be protesting. You may say that you actually were happy when you bought your sports car. But how long did that happiness last? And how about if your car had broken down one hour after you bought it? Then you wouldn’t have been very happy any longer, would you? In other words, your happiness was dependent on something in the external world matching the image that you had in your head on what it should be like. When I’m walking in forest and suddenly feel really, really happy I feel so regardless of what the world around me looks like at that moment.

To feel genuine happiness you have to build up an acceptance and love towards yourself and your life. If you love the life you’re living you have reason to be happy ALL THE TIME. Happiness is not just for lucky people who were born under a happy star. Happiness comes from practice with accepting and loving ourselves, our lives, the people in our lives and everything that happens to us. You can choose to learn to become a happy person.
