Let's first evaluate what self-esteem is. Self esteem is your own personal view of
yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Everyone has their own view of themselves, but keeping a positive
outlook will benefit you more than a negative one. Many individuals suffer from low self esteem
for a variety of reasons and need to build their self esteem in order to
succeed in life.
The only person who can build up—or consequentially tear down—your self
esteem is you. Although other
individuals may aide the process, the end decision is yours.
Why you may have low self esteem:
1. You may suffer with poor body image and focus on all the negative traits of their physical
appearance.
2. You may have emotional issues
that have caused your self esteem to drop or feel yourself unworthy of any
praise.
For whatever reasons your self esteem
may falter, the key to building it up again is to find the root of the problem. Think of self esteem like a house, if you
build a stunning house on a poor foundation, the entire structure will
crumble. However, if you take steps to
ensure the foundation is strong and capable of holding anything, the process
may be slow, but your self esteem will be built soundly.
5 Tips to deal with your low Self - Esteem and build Confidence.
1. Check out your local library or book store and explore their "self help" section for a book you may find helpful.

A main factor in self esteem is negativity. Negative thoughts can pervade your confidence
and crumble your self esteem. If you
find yourself surrounded by negative people or in a negative situation, try to
best remedy the problem. Often,
individuals in a abusive relationship have their self esteem shattered when a
supposed loved one constantly berates them and questions their worth. Similarly, a negative workplace environment
can lower your self esteem with colleagues or bosses finding fault with your work. Maybe you have a friend who is consistently
negative with all surrounding him or her.
Whatever the source, distancing yourself from the negativity will help
you regain your self esteem. Strive to
surround yourself with positive people.
If you are going through a rough time in your personal life, you may
wish to join a support group. Similarly,
there are support groups available for individuals with self image issues. These groups will allow you to meet other individuals
like yourself and provide a forum for you to sound your hopes and achievements.
However you choose to begin building your
self esteem, do so today! Be thorough
and consistent with the process and be aware it may take a while. You should not become impatient or despondent
if you find your self esteem slipping.
Remember, you are an important and worthy person and should treat
yourself as such.
