5 tips to boost your self esteem

Are you one of millions of people that are wondering how you can boost your self esteem, confidence, and overall feel better about yourself? You have the power to change that and there are several tips I am going to share with you. You can harness your own power of thoughts and beliefs to change how you see and feel about yourself.

Step 1: Identify anything situation or condition that is continuously troubling you and causing anxiety or fear. Some of these might be a business presentation, crisis at work or home, a change in your circumstances, or a challenge in a relationship with a loved one or coworker.
Step 2: Become aware of your thoughts and beliefs. We all have certain feelings and emotions that pull into every situation whether negative or positive. Take control of your thoughts and if you are thinking something negative, force yourself to think of a happy memory. Also, smile. You cannot smile without thinking something happy and soon you will notice a change of attitude in yourself no matter the circumstances around you.
Step 3: Probe your negative thoughts. Find out if what you are thinking about the situation is reality or just your version. Once you face your fears of why you feel the way you do, people usually realize that there is nothing to fear.
Step 4: Adjust your thoughts and beliefs. Use hopeful affirmations to yourself. Go stand in the mirror and say something positive about yourself. Forgive yourself- we are our own worst critics. Focus on the positive side of things. Encourage yourself and above all, love yourself. If you do not love yourself, you cannot love others.
Step 5: Stop comparing yourself to others. We only see what people want us to see and if we could see everything about them, I am pretty sure we would change our mind about wanting to be them, and we would want to be us instead. No one can be a better you. Start by looking at the positive things about yourself. If you need help, ask a close friend or spouse what their favorite thing is about you.

By doing these, you will notice a new appreciation for yourself and your mind will begin to go in a more positive way and it will become easier. You will feel lighter and happier as well. Try laughing if all else fails and you will be amazed at what it can do for you.
