Steps to rebuilding your self-esteem

Building self esteem is key to being successful and happy in your life. Low self esteem can really hold you back from achieving what you want. Having low self esteem is when you find yourself comparing yourself unfavourably to others, always criticising yourself and your abilities, putting yourself down in front of people, feeling depressed, powerless and helpless. Start building self esteem today!

A Life Coach specialising in self-esteem and confidence building can help you to re-build your self esteem and thus your confidence. Self esteem, along with self belief, confidence, worth, and image, play a big part in helping you achieve your ideal life so it’s important to nurture them. Even some of the most successful people you know may be grappling with one or more of these factors. It might be that low self esteem has not really been a problem in the past, but over the last couple of months or years you’ve started noticing a difference in yourself and that a low self esteem has been creeping in. For example, you may be finding that tasks you have done in the past at work or the way you handle social situations have become increasing difficult to handle because of this low self esteem that you have developed.

It can be a lot of hard work to get your low self esteem turned around and back up to the high levels it should be at, and the first thing is that you have to believe that it’s possible and recognise that you won’t allow low self esteem to hold you back any longer. Here are a few top tips to getting you started on building self esteem:- Accept yourself as you are Start to turn around your low self-esteem by appreciating yourself. Write a list of all your best qualities and carry this list everywhere and read it on a daily basis.

Re-build your thought processes If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts about yourself – STOP! Replace these thoughts with positive thoughts or affirmations like “I am a confident person”, “I am capable of much more”.

This is a very powerful technique to turn around low self-esteem because you’re literally talking to your subconscious where ingrained perceptions of yourself are stored.

Keep away from negative people If you have low self-esteem try not to surround yourself with people that make you feel negative about yourself. Instead focus on confident people who inspire you. Study their words and body language and adapt these characteristics to use for yourself.

Visualise yourself as a confident person Imagine yourself as a confident person. See yourself moving around in situations as this confident person.
