  2. We aren’t born with self-esteem, so that means we can change it ! (if it’s low) Optional: Take the "Self-Esteem" Survey

  3. The #1 best way to improve self-esteem and stay strong against “mean” people is: positive self-talk :)

  4. WHEN IT COMES TO THOUGHTS, YOU HAVE A LOT OF MIND CONTROL!! YOUR BODY LISTENS AND RESPONDS TO YOUR THOUGHTS!!!! Your mental self-talk can be: P O S I T I V E or N E G A T I V E 2 examples: 1. In Sports Psychology an athlete is taught to stay positive, to stay calm, be focused, be confident, to “see yourself as a winner,” and to “picture the ball going in the hole.” Many athletes find success with this positive thinking and imagery. 2. In relaxation therapy you imagine a place or event that is peaceful, restful, beautiful and happy. The body actually responds with lower blood pressure, lower pulse rate to calm down and relax.

  5. Just as making positive statements to yourself helps you to build confidence, improve performance, and improve your mental skills, negative thinking damages them.

  6. Whatever you tell yourself, your sub-conscious brain will believe as truth and it will work to make that true for you !!! For instance, if you say you aren’t a morning person your sub-conscious brain will reinforce that idea! You may feel tired, hit the “snooze bar” and spill things, etc.

  7. Example: If you were taught as a child that all dogs will bite you, your mind will automatically raise that fear everytime you see a dog. (even though your friend tells you that their dog is friendly, your mind believes and sends the fear message! You have to re-train your brain!!!)
