9 Steps to improve your self esteem

I would add that Self-Knowledge--and a healthy dose of humility--is crucial to real self-esteem.
Guess who wrote these words: "Moses was a humble man. In fact, he was the most humble man who ever lived." (From the Old Testment book of Numbers, chapter 12, I think.)
Moses wrote them.

Filling ones mind with negative stuff will not help a person be successful. Positive reinforcement goes a long way.

Words have the power to bring life to someone or death. How many times have we heard, "sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Yet, words carry so much power that we should be careful in what and how we say things.

I have enjoyed your words of wisdom and God is powerful in my life. Thanks

7. Have a list of your priorities so you know what you should be doing

This is very important so that you won't be side tracked in what you should supposed to do.

Nice job on putting the list together. Believing in yourself is so powerful!

Focus on your stengths.

A weakness is only a weakness if it is preventing you from achieving something. Example: Pro football player who is crap at math. Only a problem if he has a crooked accountant.

We obsess about our weaknesses and the gap between where we are and where we could be/want to be. Focusing on this further will only cause further self esteem issues.

Take 5 minutes right now to reflect on everything you have accomplished in your life and I guarantee you, you will feel much better.

Then go out there and in the immortal words of Tony Horton (P90X) "Do your best and forget the rest!"

Great list.
Though no one mentioned sports like bodybuilding and martial arts, they not only improve Your physical side but also power of will, persistence and concentartion. And that boosts self-esteem greatly. Must do for a man. Powerful mind can't exist in the weak body.

In my humble opinion, I would say accepting and loving yourself is vital

I'm sorry... LOL at the risk of sounding cocky I mist tell you after reading the first sentence I cannot stop laughing and thinking to myself "no kidding" it is very similar to something like this How to Succeed at Quitting Smoking 1. Stop buying cigarettes

You must think positive to be successful no matter what. Believe it or not is up to you to decide.

thanks for sharing tips, these are useful but i know not easy of implement

Never forget the old favourite that I use with athletes and business leaders...to have a list of personal and professional achievements and to carry it around with you in your pocket etc.

The list should be referred to maybe 3, 4 or 5 times per day to positively reinforce your thoughts y identifying that you are successful and competent in many things.

This list will help when something goes wrong and instead of brooding over the situation you accept it as a learning experience and move on knowing that you have achieved so much in the past.

Thinking positive is always a good booster but let's also remember to be realistic in our thoughts. A lot of the time we set our selves up for failure by over reaching when all we have to do is understand our limits and take everything in stride.
So yes, go with a positive attitude but try to set achievable goals and understand the reality of the situations in your life.

Hey everyone:

On the topic of low self esteem and all the other 'fun' detours which can distract us on our journey in life, I just posted a WSO to help people gain a better understanding of why we do what we do and why we don't do what we want to do.

Great list my friend. Number 2 on there really hit home with me.

In my opinion, to reduce low self esteem (as it helped me) stay discipline and on plan. How? always have goals and achieve them, never stray off. Also don't forget physical excercise, which can get so neglected if you work from home or are really busy with your company. Physical exercise refreshes your body and boosts up your endorphins, depleting a lot of short term low self esteem.

Holy crap! I never thought that I would see the day when religion would break through into the warrior forum! Man, I guess it had to happen someday.

I completely agree with steps 1 through 8. Absolutely great steps and I'm very glad that you posted them!

But I think that when things go wrong, I'm the one getting me out of trouble and despair. I'm the one that started the business. I'm the one that made the choices in those business and my choices led to my failure.

If you believe that you don't have the strength in yourself to pull yourself out of that tough time, I support you in your choice to ask your higher power for assistance.

Over here, I believe in you only and believe you're cutting yourself short and not giving yourself credit for something you can get through on your own as opposed to admitting you're helpless and leaving your problems up to a power based on faith (belief against the absence of proof).

You are a strong person and you can do it. I believe in you.

If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

Sorry. Just love that song.

One of the best things you can do is get into the habit of challenging your assumptions. So much of what makes us unhappy is based on thoughts that are not now, and probably never were, true.

As comedian Dave Allen (RIP) used to say when ending a set, "May your God go with you".

The only way to truly improve your self-esteem is by experiencing success...

All you have to do is set small and realistic goals for yourself and gradually move up the ladder. You'll improve your self-esteem with every small goal you achieve...

Each and everyone of us has at least one thing we would love to do but feel like we're not good enough to for it. Segment your path to your goal in small steps and plan everyday towards the achievement of that goal...

Do everything humanly possible everyday without rushing. If you do this correctly, you'll have no choice but to move constantly towards your goal. With each and every success, you'll gain more confidence which will translate into an improved self-esteem...

great advice,I especially agree with surrounding yourself with only positive people.When you're around negative people they can cause you to be negative as well.

Cool list, although I feel that number 5 stands out the most for me.

What is the point of doing this stuff if you don't enjoy it.

Cool list mate

Not to forget: Work Hard & Party Even Harder!! \m/

10. care less about what others think about you. but not too much

#8 is huge.

If you're comfortable in anything, its time to stretch outside your comfort zone and do something new.

Well to improve your self esteem, you have to first look like the type of person you would feel proud being. In health, appearance, fitness, wealth

Do the things you've been procrastinating in and do them in a timely order. Decide to be the top 10% of your workplace or company. Spend your time working and trying to improve your knowledge always and observe what the people that are in the top 10% do and try to mimic them. Build a lot of work ethics and you will see the people around you will notice what you've done and you become valuable to the company, This type of work ethic is very important for anyone who wants to succeed financially, positive thinking helps but it barely does anything. You need massive actions.

If your in a job that you hate, you dont want to be part of it. Then QUIT

And look for something you love, because its most probable that you will try to excel into the top 10% of what ever it is your doing.

If you feel happy about your life, you love your workplace, people recognize you as a hard worker and respect you and respect your opinion. If your body is at where you always wanted it to be or getting there consistently working at it. Then you will feel better about your life, and if you feel better about your life, you will like people more and people will like you more as well.

Best of luck,
Eddy
