What are some good ways to improve self esteem?

I had a friend who claimed she had low self-esteem, and I couldn't see it. She was very pretty, successful, dated alot, seemed to have things in order.

I asked her how she dealt with it, as it seemed things were so good, like what else could she make better?

She said while brushing her teeth, she would take those couple minutes every morning and night, to remind herself why she was awesome. I laughed, but she said it helped, just to get straight in her mind, that she was a valuable person and not to let the day's problems make her feel less valuable.

Do productive things and learn to excel at it, it will raise your self-confidence.

self care, mindfulness and making a conscious effort to recall all your good points. Sounds cheesy, but positive self-talk does work thanks to the neuroplasticy of the brain

My self esteem sucks too, but I find that regular exercise and just taking time to be kind to yourself in little ways helps a ton

Don't ever care what people think of you as long as you know you're a good person that is what matters .

The thing is with self-esteem it's honestly not the way we think it's the way we feel about ourselves others life and everything else around us..

It's all about raising your vibrational energy frequencies. I know this sounds weird shit but it's truth and factual. I can prove it to you in a spiritual way scientific way religious way whichever way would seem fit for you.

I used to be really suicidal basically walking around with a rope around my neck just waiting for it to catch on something so that I could be put me to sleep permanently. I had so much to live for however I did not feel good about myself. And then one day as you are doing now I made a conscious decision to change my own reality.

Is what helps me raise my vibrational energy frequencies is what I am doing right now by telling you this helping people and making other people happy reflects love and light allowing for me to pick up on their vibrations that they are feeling and recognize that Within Myself

I'm working on setting goals, breaking them down into small achievable tasks, and checking them off one by one.

I also try to replace negative thoughts with interesting ones. I'm also cultivating my sense of absurdism. I find it comforting.

Well, this is a fake it til you make it type of thing. If you can believe in your own words and you tell yourself you're worth it, you're awesome, you are the STUFF, and don't stop, you'll make it

I think all of the answers that will actually bear fruit long-term can be distilled to this: acquire capabilities, and become noticeably skilled at at least a couple of them. Be capable of doing [i]something[/i] which will evoke admiration in others.

After that, the best advice is to just wean your self-image off of dependence on others' perceptions, but that is [i]much[/i] easier to do if you have the confidence that comes with being skilled.

Problems?👂

Believe the compliments you receive.

Self-assurance that you're special. Never be hesitant to strike up conversations. There's many people that would love to talk with you, open the door.
I was so shy growing up, always over shadowed be the eldest. I pushed myself to talk to strangers until I was comfortable.

Move to Canada.

Try to redirect those negative thoughts or doubts into something more constructive. We are our own worst critic you are not alone and you are not as bad as you think you are. Remind yourself of that often :)

I wish I had good advice. I lie to myself which sometimes helps, but not often :(

For now try to love yourself more,Get close to her,Find more about your self ,stay away from the world and focus in yourself..at least this time ..Good luck

I'm no expert... but one way is to recognize that you are special and need no further reason other than God made you...

Make choices that a person who loves themself would make. After a while you turn into some you respect.

realize and accept we're all scum with different disguises

Good, strong physical exercise, if you are physically able! Not that wishu-washy stuff!

Try this, http://www.landmarkworldwide.com, really worked for me, makes you confront a ton of stuff

That’s a tough one. I’d have to say being around people that build you up for sure.

Stay around positive minded people. Do simple things like smile at people.

crush anyone that stands in ur way muhaahhaha

i used to feel that way too. so glad i was able to gain body confidence.

Exercise really helps. And try to realise ur worth

Try changing up your look/style

What is destroying it?

Learn skills that you can be proud over

Exercise, pointing out our positive attributes, being open to trying new things
