Coaching Corner: Self Esteem Building

Low self-esteem can negatively affect virtually every part of your life, including your career, health and your relationships. If you are struggling with bouts of low self esteem, can raise your self-esteem to a healthy level, even if you’re an adult who’s been harboring a negative self-image since childhood.

Here are self esteem building tips:

1 – Start each morning and end each day with a positive statement or thought. Create your own mantra (i.e. “I am intelligent”, “I will have a positive day”, “I will succeed”).

2 – Get to know the TRUE you and accept yourself. Concentrate on your uniqueness and don’t ever compare yourself to other people. You are a one-of-a-kind individual with special qualities. Make sure that you are yourself at all times and surround yourself with people who appreciate you for who you are. The more you accept your true self the more others will do the same.

3 – Make a list of all your positive characteristics and achievements. Keep adding to this list as time goes on and be sure to keep your list in a place where you can access it and read it at will.

4 – Choose your words/thoughts carefully; Take time to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. If you are faced with a challenging task — instead of saying, “I will never get this done on time” rephrase your word/thoughts into positives: “When I finish this task I will treat myself to something nice” or “This may be challenging but I can do this”.

5 – Take what you are good at and enhance it. Let others know about it! Hold your head up high, be proud and know that you have a special gift inside of you

Once you have tried out a few of these self esteem building tips, consider making them a permanent part of your life. For most people, good self esteem is not just a happy accident, it’s a result of the way they think and the things they do daily.

    Great post Aurelia. Self-esteem is one of the biggest areas of my life that I struggle with. I still harbor so many things from my past, especially my childhood that relate to the self-esteem issues. I really have to work on #4 and the negative thoughts/words thing.

Got something to say?
