In your personal and professional life, self-esteem is extremely important. If your self-esteem is high enough, you’ll attract people and make them respect you.
If you feel that you still have some work to do on that chapter, here’s a few tricks to increase it.
Let those you admire inspire you, instead of wishing you were like them. Those people are normal people, just like you, and they for sure have a lot of features in common with you.
They also have weaknesses, defects, and they also go through hard times. Find out their stories and you’ll realize that you’re more than what you believe and that you’re also valuable.
Use criticism in your advantage, even if it’s positive or negative feedback.
Don’t look at it like it’s a weapon meant to harm you, you should see it as a way of improving yourself. Also, you should be what you want to be, not what others might like.
To increase your self-esteem, you have to think and act in a manner that gives you strength. The best way to do this is to try things that you’re scared of.
Another great trick is to develop your own voice. You have to understand that you are your best judge and you’re the one who should make all the decisions for yourself.
Find your inner power and work on it until you’ll be able to stand on your own feet and to take care of yourself. Instead of criticizing yourself, learn to appreciate your qualities, because I assure you that you have a lot of qualities.
Finally, you have to learn how to help yourself. It’s not a bad thing to ask for help, even if it’s a professional or a personal problem. But in time you’ll have to learn how to be your own therapist, your own mentor.
Working with yourself on your problems will help you just as fine as asking for someone else’s help, but it will make you feel a lot stronger to see that you can take your life in your own hands and solve all of your problems.
The comment that you shared: "Let those you admire inspire you, instead of wishing you were like them. Those people are normal people, just like you, and they for sure have a lot of features in common with you", is literally what helped me to improve my self esteem. People like you, I can see have had these difficulties, and since you have overcome it yourself, you are trying to help those around you realize that there is a way out. I feel the same in that I literally had the lowest self esteem ever. I am really surprised that I came out of that one alive. Thanks to miraculous changes in my life, I have risen from this view of myself. Refreshing post. Thank you.

This is what I need in life, but instead all I see is that I see myself criticising myself instead of being appreciative. I see myself failing at important times and judge that I am a failure. It’s hard for me belief in myself after failing. However after reading your article it made me realise.
It doesn’t make sense to lose belief in myself if I had none before attempting the action. Because when attempting the action I am always doubtful whether or not I would be able to do it.
I guess I need to just believe and appreciate myself for who I am, the most imperfect being that is almost an perfection in itself.
Two things I take away from this:

Yes, you have to be honest with yourself and allow things to take time and work your way through them. Rome wasn't built in a day, each day takes hard work and care.

Palabras sabias es que que todos tenemos cualidades y defectos. Si estamos siempre empequeñeciendo unos y engrandeciendo otros, vamos a desarrollar personalidades molestas. Todo está, como bien lo dices, @jwolf, en aceptarte y tratar en lo posible de rodearte de personas que también lo hagan. Ya que si el entorno te dice que eres tonto, feo, vago, llegará el momento que te lo creerás aunque no lo seas.

When one learn to kill the negativity in self that certainly helps to boost the morals,that only helps in building the self esteem.
One need to admire it's own work or pampering self is also a key to built self esteem.

Love this:
I agree! I have been thinking much lately about how we often use self deprecation as humor. It is so horrible for our self esteem. We’ve got to love ourselves. Great post. Blessings

I read this to my friend because she has a very low self esteem. She said it helped alot
Bulling can also be a major contribution to lower your self esteem.

"Find your inner power and work on it until you’ll be able to stand on your own feet and to take care of yourself. Instead of criticizing yourself, learn to appreciate your qualities, because I assure you that you have a lot of qualities." This quote of yours is amazing. Time to time I say to some friends that we all have some kind of power, our unique power, and our unique mission. I think all of us are important in some way in this world. So I try to do my best to increase not only my self-esteem and to believe in myself but helping the others to do the same. Thank you so much for this amazing post!
