Tips for building self-esteem • Associate with people who build. • Build others, sincere compliments. • Set and achieve goals. • Eat correctly, look your best. • Observe self-confident people. • Ask for help. • Improve yourself, learn something new. • Do not say negative things about yourself. Think positively.
What can you do • Accept yourself: Stop worrying about the things you can’t change. Be more accepting of others and the things they can’t change. • Try not to compare with others. It’s unfair. You may compare their strengths with your weaknesses. Judge yourself in terms of your own growth
What can you do • Have Realistic Expectations – We expect to much from ourselves. Perfection is not possible but bettering our self should be a lifetime goal. We grow with models who appear to be perfect at everything. Hero’s are good to look at but they have their problems too.
