7 Strategies to Strengthen Self-Esteem

Before seeing these 7 Strategies to Strengthen Self-Esteem, I invite you to watch a curious video in which a personal fitness trainer decided to photoshop her body to see if this would increase her self-esteem after some criticism she received about her personal appearance.

This video invites us to accept ourselves as we are, with our defects. I know that sometimes it is not easy (the Strategies to Strengthen Self-Esteem that follow the video will help you a little):

Strengthen our self-esteem is one of the best ways to achieve a higher quality of life in all aspects of our life and achieve the personal growth that we long for.

Did you know that achieving success in your life is directly related to having a healthy self-esteem? You may have heard the cliché: "We are what we eat." Many also argue that "We are what we think."

Nathaniel Brandon, one of the leading self-esteem psychologists, put it very well: "There is no more important value judgment for the human being than the estimation he makes of himself."

If you are able to strengthen your self-esteem, you will be able to better cope with stress. You will be successful and you will not even need to brag about it. Your self-esteem, however, can vary depending on the day of the week. It is a temporary sensation. Environmental factors can play a role in the way you see yourself.

Strategies to strengthen your self-esteem

Let's take a look at some of the strategies used to see if any or all of them set you on the path to developing or strengthening your self-esteem:

1. Take out the trashThis means that anything that has been said to you that has hurt you and that is unconstructive should be taken with a grain of salt.

2. Write down all the negative things you think about yourself: I am too old, fat, nobody loves me, I am never good enough, etc. Laugh at that piece of paper you just wrote on and then tear it up and move on to the next strategy.

3. You may have heard the phrase: »It is well born to be gratefuls ». Write down the things you have to be thankful for; You can include things that people take for granted, such as food and shelter, access to a computer, etc.

4. Write a list of positive attributes and talents you have. Think. Do an effort. We are all good at something. Think of the people who have passed through your life and have said something good to you.

5. Make a list of what you like to doTry to find time to do it at least once a day.

6. Write three things you would love to have the courage to do.

7. Surround yourself with positive people: NGOs or other types of volunteering are full of positive people. Surround yourself with people who have the same interests as you.

If none of these work strategies pay off over time, other factors may be at play that are beyond the scope of this article.

Using these strategies will make it easier for you to keep going even when the going gets tough. When things go wrong in life and you feel bad you don't have to try to deny it. But be aware that those bad times are going to pass. It will help you to know that calm comes after the storm.

    Self-esteem depends largely on what others think of you, which is why it is closely linked to the stereotypes of what an ideal person is in all aspects of life. If you are not handsome, tall, smart, you have a beautiful house, money ... As you believe that you need to be the possessor of more and more things, you will get further away from getting it. So I think that first of all, what is needed is to be happy. Being happy is achieved by assuming who you are, what you have and enjoying it. And from there, I don't think you need much more. It will help you a lot to surround yourself with people who love you and not others who are harmful. Enjoy how you are and above all the good that you have around you. The rest will come. There is no evil that lest a hundred years. Good luck to you all.
