How to Improve Your Self-Esteem

Your self-esteem is a reflection of how you feel about who you are. Your self-esteem can be damaged as a child if you happen to grow up in an unhealthy environment/family dynamic.

You can improve your self-esteem and change your perception about yourself at any point in your life's journey.

Having a low self-esteem can affect your career, decision-making and relationships.

Here are 8 things you can do to improve your self-esteem:

Evaluate your negative beliefs. Understand that your negative beliefs are not a reflection of your true self. Eliminate each one as you evaluate and replace it with a positive thought.
Eliminate self-criticism. Don't be too hard on yourself and learn to give yourself a break. Whenever you want to self-criticize, ask yourself why and write down what comes up in your mind. Evaluate your answer and sit with it to make it meaningful.
Create a list of qualities you currently have. Write down what each quality represents in your life uniquely.
Build positive relationships that support your growth and life’s journey. Surround yourself with people who can help you develop and grow in life and vice versa.
Establish healthy boundaries. Learn to say ‘no’ without people pleasing.
Work on improving your physical health. Your physical health can help increase your mental health.
Take on challenging tasks that help you discover your inner strengths.
Take baby steps and never give up. Don't rush the process or give up easily. Strive and push yourself harder to learn while unlearning old habits and patterns.
