Feeling good about yourself, with your own personality, with who you are and with self-confidence. That is self esteem. When a person has low self-esteem, they feel bad about themselves, doubt everything and believe that they are not good enough in almost any aspect of their lives. But the good news is that if you want and wish, you can work on your self-esteem and apply some simple actions to improve it.
Some actions to improve your self-esteem
It is always important in these processes to have a type of containment. For the most acute cases, it is essential to seek professional help. Seeking to improve self-esteem is possible through small daily actions:
Remember your successes
Many times we obsess or stay with the negative part of any matter. Whether they are disappointments, mistakes or failures that occur on a day-to-day basis. Remembering those moments of success in your professional and personal life will make you see that you are capable of achieving it. You have to value all those achievements and see that they are part of you. Look for the positive part in each situation, even if it seems to you that it is something very small and insignificant, surely there is something good in each situation.
Avoid comparisons
Unfortunately, in the world we live in, comparisons are constantly being made. But that the comparisons are of society is one thing and quite another is the fact that you make those comparisons yourself. Each person is different, they have their own times and their own potential. That you want to be in a certain place that other people are does not mean that you will not get it. Perhaps your path is different and something much better awaits you that you cannot yet see. Avoid comparisons because all they will do is make you anxious.
Find the root of your low self-esteem
Low self-esteem appears due to different circumstances in life. Finding the root is key. Generally this comes from when we were children and we lived some particular situation. You need to go to the root of the problem in order to work on it, analyze it and create an action plan.
Appreciate yourself, you are unique
Yes, you are a unique person, there is no other person like you. Make a list of your qualities, say all the good things about you looking into your eyes in the mirror and above all things, love yourself. If you see that there are flaws in you, become aware of them and work on them little by little to become a better person.
There are different techniques that can help you value yourself even more and improve your self-esteem. One of them is massage. At Aroha Massages we are experts and we can help you reconnect with yourself.
