Are you struggling with a low self esteem and self confidence?
If you have answered yes. Please do not despair because help is at hand.
Below are some valuable tips on how to re-gain your self esteem and manage it.
1, Avoid the blame game:
It's almost impossible to appreciate your individuality or to see the good in you if you are constantly putting your self down.
To re-gain your self esteem, you have to find the reason why you lost it in the first place, and then re-trace your steps from there.
So for example, let's just imagine that you've just lost your job, hence the reason why you now feel worthless.
The best way to avoid the blame game is to face the reality of what has happened, learn the lesson if there are any,
and then form a plan of action to get back into work.
The human mind can only focus on one thing at a time, hence the reason why you must focus on solutions not the problem.
"Whatever the mind focuses on, expands and eventually becomes a reality" Seyi Eyitayo
2, Avoid the urge to blame someone else:
It's a well known fact that, we won't be responsible for some of the setbacks we might experience in life,
but we will be responsible for the way we choose to react to those setbacks.
The problem with blaming other people has to do with the fact that it, shifts the focus from trying to find a solution to
feeling like a victim. You won't be able to re-gain your self esteem whilst feeling like a victim.
A victim feels powerless, cheated, ignored, deprived, and in some cases deeply hurt.
Part of what will help to improve your self esteem, is the cultivation and conviction, that you can work towards turning things
around regardless of how things might be at present.
3, Never take yourself too seriously:
Life is hard, we all know that, but life can be great fun as well. The moment you start to take your self too seriously, you will find it hard
to enjoy the funny side of life which will only lead to more stress, frustration, anger resentment etc.
Part of what makes life interesting, is the mixture of the good and the bad. No one has a monopoly on life, and no one has the perfect
solution to some of life challenges.
To re-gain your self esteem, you must not take your self too seriously. Strike a healthy balance, learn to laugh at yourself and,
some of your problems, but more importantly, start to view them as challenges.
Always take responsibility for everything that happens to you in life regardless if it was your fault or not.
Adopting this type of attitude will put you back on the driver seat of your life, instead of getting stuck in the back seat feeling helpless.
4, Avoid analysis paralysis:
Sometimes the more intelligent you are, the harder it can be for you to re-gain your self esteem.
Why? Highly intelligent people usually want to figure out the answer to everything.
They want to know why did this happen, why did that happen, why, why, why!!
Analysis paralysis will not only keep you in a vicious circle of trying to figure everything out, but it will also drain you mentally, emotionally,
and physically.
One of the ingredients needed to re-gain your self esteem, is emotional stability. When your emotions are under control, you will find it easy
to think objectively, which is essential in re-gaining your self esteem.
Clarity of mind will help you re-trace your step, identify the root cause of your low self esteem, help you formulate a plan to re-gain it
and maintain it.
Whenever you feel tempted to over analyze, stop and remind yourself:
Clarity, Clarity, Clarity, Equals To Sanity
Are you ready to re-gain your self esteem? Why not take some massive action today.
