Self-esteem is the degree to which the qualities and characteristics contained in one\u2019s self-concept are perceived to be positive. It reflects a person\u2019s physical self-image, view of their accomplishments and capabilities, and values and perceived success in living up to them, as well as the ways in which others view and respond to that person. <\/span>The more positive the cumulative perception of these qualities and characteristics, the higher one\u2019s self-esteem.<\/span> A reasonably high degree of self-esteem is considered an important ingredient of mental health, whereas low self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness are common depressive symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few tips to improve your self-esteem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be kind to yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Gain insight into yourself. Reflect on your strengths and challenges.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Challenge the irrational thoughts.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Say realistic, practical things to yourself instead of negatives.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Avoid comparing yourself to others.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Take some time out to do something nice for yourself.<\/span><\/div>\n

Try to recognize the positives. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Celebrate and acknowledge your success, whether it is big or small.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Accept compliments when you receive them from others.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>You can ask others what they like about you. Other people might recognize and identify things that you don\u2019t see in yourself.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Keep track of your strengths and challenges.<\/span><\/div>\n

Build a support network.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>We are social beings, and it is inevitable to live without social connection in life. Build a strong, supportive social network around yourself.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Talk to someone you trust. Try to set aside time for social activities that suit you.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Focus on healthy and positive relationships.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Set healthy boundaries with the people around you.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Be assertive<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Learn and practice saying no when you have to say no.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Involve yourself in peer support or fellowship to keep you engaged.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Let go of negative and discouraging people around you, or maintain a distance with negative people who try to pull you down.<\/span><\/div>\n

Set yourself up for challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Try volunteering in an organization and contributing in some way.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Set small, realistic goals for yourself.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Learn something new, for example, a new language, instrument, or art work. When you become skilled in new things, it can boost your self-esteem.<\/span><\/div>\n

Look after yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Prioritize yourself first; only when you are taken care of will you be able to effectively take care of people around you.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Try to get enough sleep, engage in physical exercise, eat healthy food, and engage in leisure activities.<\/span><\/div>\n

Stop being a people-pleaser.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Low self-esteem issues can make us obligated to say yes to other requests. In some situations, we tend to give in and say yes because we need validation from others.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Learn to get your validation from yourself.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Learn to say no boldly to others in situations where you have to say no.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>You can offer help and support to others, but your self-esteem suffers because you associate your self-worth with what others do and say about you.<\/span><\/div>\n

Forgive yourself <\/span><\/p>\n

It is common for us to make mistakes and wrong decisions. It is an unavoidable part of life. In these situations, it is very common for us to be critical of ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Learn to accept the mistakes and analyze how you can do better.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Forgive yourself instead of blaming and loathing in regret and guilt.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Learn to be resilient.<\/span><\/div>\n
