Low Self Esteem - How to Overcome It

By Zoe Smith


Perhaps one of the most essential lessons we need to learn in life is the ability to see ourselves clearly and love what we see. When we do, we can live more deeply and freely because we do not need another person to get validation. Unfortunately, too many people don't know what their worth and live unfruitful lives. Discover important tips on how to overcome self esteem today.

1. Discover yourself. Go ahead, think about all the things about you that make you- you. More importantly, appreciate everything that you discover. Improve what you can about your weaknesses but focus more on enhancing your strengths. Do things that you love to do and enjoy life! It's a good thing to be happy.

2. Give. Self-pity is one of the most destructive things you can do to yourself. It will never be of help to you. Instead of throwing yourself a pity party, celebrate another person instead! Give to somebody else without looking for anything in return. It will make anybody feel better. It doesn't even have to cost you anything. Just a simple smile or a few words of encouragement can give the person the added boost he needed for the day.

3. Trim away negative energy. What does this mean? Keep away from negative people!

Be infected with the happier crowd and see your positive energy increase and draw like energy towards you as well.

Know this: you are important and you are a valuable contribution to people around you. Accept the compliments given to you graciously. Even if they aren't completely accurate, respect the opinion of the giver of the compliment and be happy about yourself!

5. Don't compete with other people. Everybody is different. We have different qualities and different life stories that shape us to be the person we are today. You may be frustrated because you are still not like the super businessperson or even the super nice person you want to be, but don't be discouraged. You will get there. Being happy for others is essential is improving self esteem.
