Self-esteem and confidence are the keys to positivity, so let’s look at a few steps to build self-esteem and confidence today:

1. Affirm yourself

Being aware of your thoughts is one of the best strategies to boost your confidence. Did you know that the average human has up to 70,000 thoughts a day and most of them are negative?

Begin by recognizing your negative thoughts as soon as they come up; picture them as weeds that need to be carefully taken away. Replace them with positive affirmations that resonate with your true desires and goals. To combat thoughts like "I can't do this," for instance, instantly respond with "I am capable and strong, and I can tackle challenges."

Develop an attitude of gratitude by thinking back on things for which you are grateful every day. thankfulness automatically draws your attention to the good things in your life and in yourself.

2. Remind yourself of your positive attributes

How well do you listen? Do your friends come to you when they need wise counsel? Maybe you're an amazing dancer, or maybe you just have the most gorgeous eyes? It's possible that you've ascended the business ladder or that you manage your house with military efficiency! Do you think you might be a singer or an artist? The point is that each and every person on the planet has a myriad of amazing personality traits, yet it's simple to forget who they are. Make a list of what you’re good at (keep focussing on positive thoughts) and add to that list every time you remember something you know you do well or something about you that others appreciate. Place that list in a visible location, and go through it if you're feeling self-conscious.

3. Be good to others

You feel good about yourself when you're kind to other people! So, pay a stranger a compliment, offer to help a friend or just do something small like make a cup of coffee for a busy colleague. Receiving appreciation makes you feel good since you know right away that you've made someone else's day better. Do you recall the pleasant feeling you get when someone performs you a favor? When you know you’ve made someone happy, you feel fantastic!

4. Take some exercise

It's challenging to go to the gym sometimes! Not only is time precious – filled up with work, family, friends and chores, for lots of people, the thought of exercise is enough to send them running in the other direction (pardon the pun). But, exercise is a great way to decrease stress and is necessary to release those feel-good hormones once more. Working out improves your self-esteem, and if you visit a gym, you'll also benefit from the social interaction and sense of community that comes with being surrounded by people. Self-care includes exercise, which is essential for everyone to undertake in order to feel good. Even if you're not into weightlifting or the step machine, taking a 20-minute daily walk outside will help you feel lighter on the inside.

5. Show yourself some love

In keeping with the idea of exercise as self-care, you cannot develop confidence if you do not take care of yourself. Self-care is very important and can involve many various activities, such as giving oneself conscious kindness or indulging in an opulent bubble bath with candles. Schedule time for the activities you enjoy doing; watch a pleasant movie with a close friend; spend time with your family; or read a book that promotes optimistic thinking. Boost your confidence by buying a new top that you know suits your colouring. Building confidence and self-esteem begins with feeling good about yourself.

DID YOU KNOW?

What is the root cause of low self-esteem?

The root cause of low self-esteem often lies in our past experiences. It can come from negative feedback from others, like criticism from family, friends, or teachers. Sometimes, it’s the result of not meeting our own or others’ expectations, or experiencing failure, bullying, or discrimination. These experiences can lead us to believe we’re not good enough, which deeply affects how we see ourselves. Understanding these root causes is the first step towards healing and building a healthier self-esteem.
