How to improve self-esteem

It is necessary to know how we work, that’s to say, we need to know what are strong and positive aspects are. Once we are aware of these aspects, we can decide which aspects we wish to improve and which we would like to reinforce. The action plan to change determined characteristics should be realistic and reachable in a certain time period (for example, our age is unchangeable, our height is another factor which we can hardly change, etc) That’s to say, we have characteristics that we have to accept and live with. We should try and see them in a positive light.

Here are some ways to improve self-esteem:

1. Don’t idealize others.

2. Evaluate your qualities and defects.

3. Change what you don’t like.

9. Practise new behaviour.

10. Don’t demand too much.

11. Give permission.

12. Accept your body.

13. Look after your health.

14. Enjoy the present.

15. Be independent.
