Before seeing these 10 Activities to Improve Self-esteem, I invite you to watch this video by David Cantone in which he gives us a series of tips so that we can improve our self-esteem and keep it high. [Video duration 15 minutes]
David begins by explaining to us the importance of having a high valuation of ourselves so that more opportunities are opened up in life:
Now, we are going with these 10 Activities to Improve Self-esteem: [If you want you can expand the information in this article with this other: https://www.recursosdeautoayuda.com/como-podemos-mejorar-la-autoestima/]
1) Spending some time every day with someone.
The human being is social by nature. A lonely person is less likely to achieve a satisfactory degree of mental well-being. The objective is that you share a pleasant time and exchange experiences and opinions.
3 essential requirements:
* That the people you hang out with are positive. It's hard not to feel bad about yourself when you're constantly feeling criticized or surrounded by people who complain incessantly.
* That they value you as you are.
* Make sure you have supportive people around you to counter criticism from negative people.
2) Exercise.
It can be a simple walk, although if it is an aerobic activity much better. Exercise makes your brain secrete more endorphins, neurotransmitters that increase your sense of well-being and, therefore, your self-esteem.
If it can be an exercise that you do together, much better.
3) Read a book.
Books are a window to other worlds, other characters, other points of view that enrich you as a person and make you see life in a different way. Sometimes a book can be like psychotherapy.
4) Sleep long enough for your mind to be clear.
Some people need 8 hours of sleep, others 6 is enough. A rested mind is safer from daily problems.
5) Write a journal.
Write down the things you did well that day. This will help you identify and remember your strengths. If bad things have happened to you, look for the positive side.
6) Change the image if necessary.
Take a shower, go to the salon, and buy yourself some new clothes. A simple makeover can be effective.
7) Start the day the right way.
If you wake up feeling depressed, take time to shower and get ready. Once you are done you will feel better. Looking good on the outside helps you feel good on the inside.
8) Don't use drugs to make yourself feel better.
Here I also include tobacco and alcohol. If you learn to fight without having to resort to these kinds of things, your self-esteem will increase enormously. To face life there are no shortcuts and this kind of thing in the long run takes a very expensive bill in the form of great suffering.
9) Do some community activity.
By community activity I mean some type of course (dance, Pilates…), some volunteer activity or some type of work in the community where you live. People who carry out activities to help others declare themselves happier and with higher self-esteem.
10) Don't worry about being "perfect."
The search for perfection is a trap that can undermine your self-esteem. No one is perfect in the eyes of others. Instead, try to achieve goals.
