Building Self-esteem: 6 tips on how to feel good inside
Another tip today from Karl Perera from http://www.more-selfesteem.com/
“Self Esteem means feeling good inside: How to feel good inside”
by Karl Perera
Self Esteem is what we experience when we feel good about
ourselves and when we feel good inside. What makes you feel good
inside?
I think when you feel you like what you are doing, where you are
going and feel you have your priorities right. Feeling good means
being satisfied with what you have, with what you are doing and
where you are going. Next month we will look at how ambition can
help or hinder you in your search for self esteem. Let’s continue
with this article’s theme……
Don’t make the common mistake of comparing your achievements to
someone else or to what you believe you should have done up to
this point. You will NEVER measure up and you will bring yourself
down. LOW SELF ESTEEM.
What you need to feel good inside is within your power. It is not
the result but the route to achievement. You will have high self
esteem when you have a sense of direction, satisfaction about
your choices and actions and know that you are doing your best
and doing something good.
- Do your best and you will respect yourself for it. If you don’t
you will know. You can cheat others but not yourself.
- Be honest and kind to others. Give yourself NO chance to be
self critical.
- For most people doing good things brings satisfaction and a
good feeling inside. If you have done something wrong and feel
guilty about it your self esteem will suffer. Try to help others.
Spend time with your kids, listen to others, call someone - be
nice! Your self opinion will go up and you will feel self
respect. The bonus is that others will be grateful to you and
this will also boost your self esteem!
- Focus your thoughts on what is right in your life and on what
you like. How can you make things better? Don’t neglect ever what
you want from life. Some sacrifice is necessary especially if you
have family but you don’t have to be a martyr. Self Esteem will
only blossom when you decide to love yourself.
- One of the benefits of Self Esteem is confidence in yourself
and knowing realistically where you are and where you are going.
But careful - don’t aim too high. Keep your sights on small
improvements and planning to get where you want to be. Each time
you have a small success you can feel happy and motivated to
continue.
- Give and be generous! Give your time and of yourself. By doing
this you will have no guilt when you want to spend time alone or
on your own projects. If you organise yourself you CAN make time
for yourself and others. You will feel more in balance and will
feel you are living your life.
Concentrate on these points and act on them. Next month I will
focus on a different aspect of Self Esteem - being happy with
what you have (how to manage ambition).
