How can I improve my self esteem?

You can improve your self esteem by surrounding yourself with people who will support you and help you. Those people that spreads positivity and will help you by challenging you to become the best version of you. Those people who are honest with you. Those people who wants what's best for you. Those people who will bring you to the right path. Those people who doesn't drag you down. Those people that lifts you up and reminding you to keep on moving forward or in short, those people who cares for you not because you're famous or rich or like the person they can overpower but they care for you because they see something in you.

There are many things you can try. The important thing is to be consistent. If you want to give yourself 5 compliments every day and write them down, that is a great way to start!

The way I see it, there are basically 2 ways to "deal" with low self-esteem. One is like "overriding" - keep chanting to yourself, repeat some positive mantras or ideas until your conscious and subconscious mind starts living inside this new "truth". Another way is far less appealing - to become utterly honest with yourself and recognize all of your inner beliefs/fears/traumas that are in place and are, effectively, the cause of your low self-esteem. When you think about it - there cannot be a single goo reason to feel of yourself as a "not good enough" person. Therefore beliefs that are "saying" otherwise must eventually go.

By looking at success rather than failure. By counting the positive things in your life. By performing good acts that help others.

Hi! This is an awesome question! It can be hard to start off your self-esteem journey and to think positively about yourself. One technique that is commonly used is bridge statements. This is just acknowledging that there's a possibility that you are more than the negative things that you tell yourself. For example, if you tell yourself, "I'm ugly" everyday, then you would start telling yourself, "There is a possibility that I am not as ugly as I think," or maybe "There perhaps is a possibility that some find me at least a little bit good looking." It's all about opening yourself up to the possibility (again, huge emphasis on possibility!) that you're more than your negative self image. This is because I know it can be really difficult to jump from something like "I'm ugly and no one likes me" to thinking "I'm beautiful and everyone loves me." That's super hard to do, so this is all about bridging the gap! Also, I believe someone else mentioned writing down and noticing automatic thoughts (also called ATs) and using reasoning to challenge your negative thinking! That's also great! Also, just remember that self-esteem is something that is a life-long journey, and whatever effort you put into improving yourself and working on it is already more than enough. Any effort, big or small is already huge! Also, you are not alone. Self-esteem is something that basically every human has struggled with at least some point in their lives. We are all in this together, taking it one step at a time.

Consider keeping a journal of small accomplishments and things you're proud of yourself for, and remember that insecurities are based on assumptions, not reality.

There are many different ways that you can go about improving your self esteem. These can be like using positive affirmations about yourself in order to try to have confidence boosts. Some helpful tips can include: Say stop to your inner critic (this meaning trying to replace the inner voice that you have that thinks down about you and getting rid of the self destructive thoughts that your inner critic may have about you). Another tip is Writing down 3 things in the evening that you can appreciate about yourself. This can allow you to think positively about yourself and having put it down on paper it is something that you are able to go back to. Setting realistic expectations can also be helpful in these situations as well

It can be super hard to have good self esteem. It's something I have struggled with a lot, and I'm sure many people before - and after - us will struggle with it at some point. You are not alone in having poor self-esteem. There are multiple ways in which we can improve our self esteem, including meditation, developing a sense of self-love, focusing on more positive things than negative things, and more. When we do things such as focusing on the positive, we are building up a layer of self-esteem that is needed for general functioning. Perhaps you could keep note of all of the things that lower your self-esteem or make you feel down, and work to improve them.

Self-esteem is essential to leading a life of flourishing, and essentially it's about building a personality which you can admire. What you would have to do first and foremost is conclude which moral values are right for you to live in accordance with. This is where ethics - a branch of philosophy - will be your guide. Once you've concluded which moral values are valuable to you, then you get to the stage of putting them in concrete practice in your own life. Let's use the virtue of integrity as an example here. If you're having a conversation with a family member about a topic where you know that there are differences in opinion, then standing by your own views (or at least openly declaring the fact that you disagree with the family member) is one way to build your self-esteem. Love, admiration, and affection all have to be earned if it's to be genuine. Having self-esteem or pride in your own character is equivalent to maintaining a rigid certainty about your worthiness of being loved.
