How to Improve Low Self Esteem

How to improve low self esteem? This is a question many people are asking. Low self-esteem is common in today’s society. Moreover, glossy media images and social media mean maintaining a positive self-image can be difficult.

What causes of low self-esteem? This varies from person to person. So what to do to improve it?

Understanding your triggers

The first step is being aware what situations are causing these feelings. Moreover, when are you feeling shy or insecure? Is it in crowds or new situations? Perhaps at work or meeting strangers? Everyone is different. So the first step is making sense of your own situation.

Positive self-talk

Another method is taking time to be kind to yourself. Being your own best friend. Writing down three positive things about yourself everyday. What are your strengths? Your achievements? Re-read these notes whenever you are struggling. In this way, you can gain a more positive sense of self.

Practicing self-care

Furthermore, taking care of yourself is important. In doing so, you’re reinforcing the fact you’re worthy and cared for. Eating well, exercising, getting enough sleep. Plus, managing your stress levels. Seek out activities you enjoy with people who’re treating you well.

Being authentic and assertive

Are you standing up for what you believe in? As well as defending your own opinions. Tell yourself you are worth listening to. In turn, learn to communicate assertively. You’ll find people responding to the way you act. So if you’re acting more confidently,  people will start treating you with more respect.

Finding a safe place to build confidence

Find a group where you feel safe. But that still pushes you outside of your comfort zone. In this way, enabling you to start building your self-worth. In addition practising techniques for developing confidence.

Minimising disruption

Are negative people putting your down? Or groups or situations where you feel especially insecure? If so, begin distancing yourself. Toxic relationships can be harmful to self-esteem. Spending too much time on social media can also be unhelpful.

Seeking help to improve low self esteem
