You may be asking, how do I improve my self esteem?  In order to improve it, we must first understand what it is.  Self esteem is all of the beliefs and feelings that we have about ourselves.  These beliefs begin to form when we are just children.  They affect all aspects of our life.    Low self esteem can alter your potential to be successful in your career, love life and relationships, and directly influences your happiness and well being.

In order to change your self esteem, you need to change the thoughts you have.  Low self esteem is caused by the negative thoughts we have about ourselves.  You must stop criticizing yourself,  instead boost yourself up.  None of us are perfect.  Don’t be so hard on yourself.  And above all else, don’t compare yourself to others.  You are special and unique and you shouldn’t try to be like anyone else.

Focus your thoughts on your achievements instead of your failures.  Reward yourself when you are successful.  It helps to write in a journal every day and record your achievements and progress, and to work through your problems.   Writing down your feelings and worries can help you to realize what it is that you are really thinking.

Use visualization to help you increase your self esteem.  Sit quietly, close your eyes and visualize yourself as confident, happy and successful.  Visualize meeting your perfect mate.  Spend 15- 30 minutes every day in quiet meditation picturing how you want your life to progress.  You will be amazed how much this will help you.

It is not always easy to change our way of thinking, but in order to live a better life, you must improve your self esteem.  When you are confident and happy, you are more attractive to potential mates.   You should  focus on yourself; be kind to yourself and work hard to rid yourself of those negative thoughts.  You can do it.
