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.
