Geoff Novis asked:




One cause of low self esteem often begins in childhood, where we are programmed by the promise of reward when we do well, and punishment when we fail. If at the same time we had a sense of self worth instilled by our parents we learnt to take the good with the bad and overcome any criticisms or setbacks on the way. If however we received unjustified criticism, then the chances are that it left you with low self esteem and confidence.

Another cause is in adulthood when we begin to feel that we cannot win the constant “survival of the fittest” that the modern workplace can appear to be, and we come up against people who, to make themselves feel better, constantly belittle us. It is important to realise that this is probably the only way they can make themselves feel important, no consolation, however, if they happen to be a superior, (in title – if nothing else).

Overcoming Low Self Esteem – And How to Boost Your Confidence.

First off, you need to accept that it’s not your fault. Nobody is perfect, everybody makes a mistake occasionally, this is a natural thing and perfectly acceptable.

You have to recognize your better qualities and talents, stop focusing on the bad points and give yourself congratulations when they are due. Never avoid things you don’t feel capable of. Weigh them up, get any help,equipment or advice you need, and go for it. The sense of achievement from finishing a task you weren’t looking forward to is absolutely amazing, far better than avoiding it for weeks and feeling worse each day for doing so – (one of my worst habits). It still needs doing anyway, so why wait? Get it done, and over with, give yourself a pat on the back and look for the next challenge. I’ll do the same and we,ll both feel fantastic, is that a deal?

Overcoming Low Self Esteem? – Not easy but if you really want to succeed you can. (And You Will)

Look for ways to improve your outlook. Find out how successful people from history got to the top, they were where you are now at one time – read books, listen to audio, video and online seminars as to how they got to the top, and copy them. Nothing on this planet is new, its all been done before, find out how, by whom, and do it yourself.

Robert Britt asked:




How are you viewed by the world? How does your self-perception impact that and what can you do about it?

What you truly are lies somewhere in between those perceptions and how you want to be. Most people have a really difficult time deciding what they want to be, and that is where the current identity crisis comes from. What identity crisis, you may ask. The one that people have as you hear the expression, “I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up” and it is coming out of the mouth of a baby boomer.

What you want and long to be may be close to what you are, or it may be a very far distance. A commercial aired during the NFL championship game last year, where a group of children each said their dream job, but it was contaminated with reality. One child longed to be middle management, while another hoped to be a cog in the wheel of industry. Typical childhood dreams, yes? Of course not.

No firefighters or astronauts in the group, yet some people had those goals and attained them. What made them different than the majority of Americans? Possibly holding tightly to a vision and not giving up on dreams, but another possibility is the dream getting crushed, and the dreamer getting crushed by people around them.

Another quote by Zig Zigler that I think speaks volumes is “You cannot perform in a manner inconsistent with the way you see yourself.” So people who mold you into the person you become are molding how you see yourself, and unless you can break away from that, or have exceptionally encouraging people around you the chances of achieving your dreams diminish as “reality” crashes into your hopes and aspirations. There are ways of undoing that damage, and all you need is the willingness to embrace change and really want to make a difference.

A simple exercise is to start your day, every day, by giving a short success speech. Look yourself square in the mirror and make positive statements about who you are and about what is possible. Even though that might seem awkward, it is a great start to making real change.

Prashant Mangalampalli asked:




Why is overcoming low self esteem important? Well, we all suffer from low self esteem at one time or another, in one area of our life or another. The problem is that some people suffer from low self esteem all the time, and to the point where it begins to affect everything they do, robbing them of the ability not only to feel successful, but to be happy and even feel relaxed.

Experts tell you that the way to overcoming low self esteem is to love yourself. They simply don’t tell us how to do that. Forget the lectures, what you need is good advice, right? So okay, here are a few tips that may just help you find a way to improve your self esteem.

Look to Someone You Admire

Most of us have someone in our lives that we admire and think of as intelligent and insightful. Some of these people enjoy spending time with us. Trust their intelligence and insight. If they see something worthwhile in you, then it surely must be there, as this person is probably too smart to make a mistake. Accepting that you have some good qualities others can see, even if you can’t, is the first step towards overcoming low self esteem.

Do Something for Others



Donate some time to a soup kitchen, homeless shelter or a retirement home. Helping people who are less fortunate than yourself not only will help you view your own life in a better light, but will also make you feel good, because your skills and help are genuinely needed and appreciated.

Celebrate Your Accomplishments No Matter How Small

Take a moment to celebrate your accomplishments no matter how small they may seem. By taking note of your accomplishments, you will begin to see just how many positive things you accomplish each day.

Don’t Compare Yourself to Others

Comparing ourselves to the others around us is the biggest mistake all of us make. Instead of worrying about how well someone else does, our time is better spent improving our own skills. It is a great feeling when we see ourselves improving.

Make a list of your positive points and read it every day



As silly as it may sound, we learned to think negatively about ourselves from hearing negative things, and believing them. We can begin to think more positively about ourselves by stating our positive points, until we begin to believe them as well.

Do Something You Enjoy Each Day

Whether it is watching a movie, relaxing in a hot bath, or spending 10 minutes doing nothing at all, finding something you enjoy will help you feel better about yourself, and the world at large.

While there isn’t a magic elixir that is going to make you suddenly start to like yourself better, overcoming low self esteem is certainly an achievable task for everyone, with just a little bit of practice. Following these few simple tips is a great place to start, and it may not be too long before you start to see some great changes in your life, and the way your feel about yourself.
