how can you begin to improve your self esteem?self-esteem?

It is much more difficult to be positive when we are around negative thinkers than it is when you spend your time with those who have learned they can achieve their goals if they believe they can.

11

A sincere compliment will go a long way p g g yand it makes you feel good! Even if you don’t like someone, congratulate them on a job well done.

Look into the mirror every day and repeat y y paloud fifty times (and mean it), “I am a great person.” Do this for thirty days. Your mind will accept the statement as a fact.

12

Set achievable goals for yourself. Break g ythem into bite-sized pieces. Small successes give you the confidence to attack larger projects.

If l i li i !If you are not learning, you are not living! Learning makes you more interesting to yourself and others.

13

Nothing ensures confidence like knowing that you look good and others know it.

E i l l d i hExercise regularly and stay in shape.

14

Do something nice for someone without gexpecting anything in return. It keeps them off balance and it makes you feel great about yourself.

T lf i d iTreat yourself to an ice cream sundae; give yourself a makeover or a manicure; take a nice drive.

15

We get what we give!We get what we give! To continuously get the self-esteem we desire, we must continuously share it with others. Give away/share your knowledge, and your self-esteem will continue to grow inyour self esteem will continue to grow in an unlimited and magnificent way!
