In my experience Self Esteem is at the core of everything we are. The quality of our life depends on how high or low our Self Esteem is. Do you know that there is nobody who will treat you as badly as the way you treat yourself?
Self Esteem affects every aspect of our lives. The way you think, feel and behave and identify yourself comes from high or low Self Esteem. Self Esteem is all about the relationship we have with ourselves based on our belief system, which comes from our own life experience Self Esteem is about being in alignment with who you fundamentally are, without the baggage you picked up on the way. Lack of Self Esteem affects our confidence, trust, acceptance, forgiveness and a whole lot more.
Self Esteem, high or low is a mirror for the way you treat yourself. The belief system you have been hanging onto for so long can melt away and your Self Esteem.
When our Self Esteem soars then the quality of our life changes and all that we ever wanted becomes possible.
Here are my Top 10 Tips To Boost Your Self Esteem:
- Start a positive relationship with yourself. Get to know more about who you are and make friends with yourself.Treat yourself like you are your own best friend.
- Make an agreement with yourself to not use critical language about yourself or others today.
- Stop “trying” to please other people.
- Split your day into two. At lunch time take a couple of minutes to think of 2 things you have done that morning that were successful. For Example, getting to work on time, remembering to feed the dog/cat. Passing your driving test. At bed time write those 2 things down and add any others and take a few moments. Notice how that feels in your body as you look at your successes for the day.
- Make a list of all that you are grateful for in your life every morning.
- Take some action, change a routine that feels dull, even if it’s just about the first thing you do when you get out of bed.
- The next time you look in the mirror stop and smile.
- As you prepare for your day, whether you take 20minutes or 2 hours say yes! to everything that you do. You might start off thinking this is silly but I guarantee before long you will find yourself smiling and your heart opening. Saying Yes changes your energy!
- Buy or make yourself a beautiful card. Write in it ‘Love from Me’ and then post it to yourself. When it arrives, place it somewhere that you will notice it. Don’t forget to see it.
- Spend the day with your favourites. Your favourite outfit, shoes, perfume, friends, food and music.
Using any one of these steps will make a difference to your Self Esteem!
