mmk99.How Do I Build Self Esteem ?

Our level of self esteem stems from how we perceive ourselves, and affects all areas of our lives; the higher our self esteem, and how good we feel about ourselves, the more likely we are to achieve success in all areas of our lives. You may be thinking; all well and good, but how do I build my self esteem? Here are some tried and trusted ways of helping yourself to gain self esteem;
Halt destructive thoughts. Remember, you have rights, opinions and ideas which are just as valid as everybody else’s.
Use self- talk- this can be a really effective way of improving low self esteem. Think of the things you did well during the day, and praise yourself for them. Be definite ie ‘I really made a good job of that assignment and my boss was really pleased’ rather than ‘I worked well today’. This may feel a little strange at first, but will soon become second nature.
Focus on your achievements rather than your failures. Everybody fails sometimes, you are not alone. If you find yourself dwelling too much on your failures, start to think of them as learning experiences and think of a lesson you can take from each one.
Come to terms with the past- many people suffer from low self esteem as the result of negative experiences in their lives or childhood; therapy is the most obvious solution and can be greatly beneficial, but not everybody will wish to access this. Others will benefit from joining a support group, or an online group. If you have friends you can trust, you could tell them and ask for their support.
Try keeping a ‘Feelings Journal’; write down how you feel or how you feel certain events in your life have affected you. You needn’t show this to anybody unless you want to, but the act of writing your feelings down will often minimise the power they have over you.
Write a list of all your good qualities and all the good thing you have in your life right now. Don’t be shy! Keep adding to it, and place it somewhere you can see it often.
Set yourself small, easily achievable goals; ie to complete a small task that’s been bugging you and you haven’t got around to. Reward yourself when you have achieved this goal, and then set another, slightly more challenging goal.
Learn a new skill- this can be really beneficial for low self esteem. Scan the night class brochures from your local college, and pick something which takes your fancy, or something you’ve wanted to learn for some time. This could also open up a whole new social life for you. Some people find singing helps to improve self esteem, and there are now singing groups for all abilities. Other people find going to self defence classes boosts their self esteem.
Fake it ’til you make it! Play a little game with yourself… pretend to have amazing self esteem. Think how such a person would act, speak, hold themselves etc… then play that role; pretend you are them. Go on, have fun with this! Watch your body language- stand up straight. The more you practice this, eventually you will find you become that person!
Look after your physical health; eat well, get enough sleep and rest, and take regular exercise. You will feel so much better, which will boost your self esteem sky high. Aim to exercise for at least 30 minutes five times a week. Don’t worry about joining a gym if you really don’t want to. Find an exercise you enjoy and will be able to keep up; swimming, taking a walk with a friend or just dancing to your favorite music all count. Get into the habit of making exercise a part of your life. As well as feeling much healthier you will also lose excess weight, which can impact on self esteem. You could set yourself small goals, ie to swim 30 lengths or run a fun run. When you have achieved this, try a slightly more difficult goal; aim to swim a mile, or complete a 10k (6 mile) race.
Hopefully these ideas will enable you to start improving your low self esteem, especially if applied consistently.

mmk99.A Powerful Stress Relief Technique You Can Use Right Now

You and I both have a belief about who and what we are. Indeed, everybody does. Many different events happen to you throughout your life and it is how you assign meanings to these events that forms the belief you have about yourself. If you view these events negatively, you can form a victim mindset, a mindset that will send stress levels soaring and cause you misery for a long time. An old friend of mine is a perfect example. Life was going smoothly for him until he was forced to change jobs because the company was "streamlining". He was assigned to a new job, he really struggled with it, he didn't get along with his new boss who eventually moved my friend to another department, on a lower salary.Gary changed dramatically. He was no longer a nice guy content with his life but a very angry, bitter person who deeply resented what had happened to him. He resented everybody, labelling friends as "selfish" and would snap at people over the slightest thing. Gradually his presence became unbearable and his friends, tired of the bitterness and arguing, deserted him. He had chosen to be a victim and he was taking it out on everyone. And the more he acted like a victim the more he became one. Millions of people believe, just like my old friend Gary, that they are victims and this becomes their life. A breakdown of a relationship, the loss of a job, a serious accident, a bereavement, a change of location - whatever. Such events are a part of everyone's lives and to keep stress at bay, it is vital you do not choose to believe they make you a victim.Here is a gem of a stress relief technique to help you avoid believing you are a victim.Let's say you want to install a brand new kitchen. You want new worktops, new cupboards, a new oven and hob, new lighting, a new sink and new taps all beautifully fitted. There is one thing you absolutely must do before the new kitchen can be fitted:Throw out the old kitchen first! Oven, taps, units, worktops, lights and even the kitchen sink - the lot has to go before you can bring in the new! Because you just can't put a brand new kitchen in if the old one is still taking up the space, yes? Simple isn't it? And the simple beauty of this is that you can apply it to your life and the events you have faced, especially if these events are still being carried by you in the present and you believe you are a victim.Whatever it is that has happened to you - your partner has left you, you've lost your job, you've had an accident, a friend cheated you, you've lost someone you love, your business went bust - whatever it is no matter how bad, NO MATTER HOW BAD, you now dump it. You LET GO of it totally, you have carried it for long enough now dump it so you can make a fresh start.Whatever it is, dump it. Get angry at it, take yourself to a private place and picture what has happened and then shout: "ENOUGH! NO MORE! I LET YOU GO YOU ARE DUMPED FROM MY LIFE. I AM NOT YOUR VICTIM!"I want you to think of this: Whatever has happened to you in life you can have but two effects on you. It can either be a curse or a blessing. If you choose to believe an event has made you a victim, then it will be a curse on you for a long time. You have the power to choose to make each event a blessing that brings value to your life no matter how unfair or bad an event was. When you choose to make an event a gift, you rob it of the power to make you a victim and steal precious non-renewable years from your life, just as the change of job became a millstone around Gary's neck and made him a victim and spoiled his life.
