Best of success, now and always for good self esteem!

• Instead of believing that your life is unchangeable and will stay how it is right now forever, you can decide to believe that you have the power and potential to change and improve things.

• Instead of thinking that you don’t deserve and can’t be happy and successful in your lifetime, you can choose to believe you do deserve happiness and that you can go on to be successful to prove your happiness.

I could go on and on with the list, but you probably have gotten the idea by now. More than anything, I want you to realize that you have the power to choose in all things in your life.

What will you believe from here on out? What will you do when your old beliefs that limit you pop up in your head? Will you challenge them, face them, and prove them and to yourself that they are wrong? Or will you find yourself stuck under the negative spell for most of your life?

The decision and choice is yours.

I encourage you to write a new vision that you want for your life. Look at the list of limiting beliefs you wrote on Day 3, and ask what you want to believe about yourself, your life, and your potential.

After this, write down the new empowering beliefs and read them, everyday if necessary. Read them as often as you need. Choose to make your own truth in your own life, and you will be able to see the transformation these choices make.

I hope and trust that you have gained a lot of insight from me and from others. I can already see that you will do great things with your newly found courage, inner strength, and optimism. In any case, what I believe does not matter, only what you believe.

Best of success, now and always for good self esteem!

Do you want to begin to turn this around? Of course you do. So first, stop treating yourself so badly. Of course, that’s easier said than done, especially when you start. But it’s absolutely necessary if you want to improve your self-esteem.

So first of all, when you catch yourself speaking negatively to yourself or to others about yourself, stop. When you catch yourself saying derogatory or otherwise unkind things, replace your statements with more positive comments. These only bring low self esteem.

As an example, let’s say you catch yourself saying, “I can’t believe I just did that. I’m so stupid!” Okay. Now, stop and instead say, “Wait a minute. I made a mistake, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid. Everyone makes mistakes. I can learn from what I just did and do better next time.”

What you say exactly doesn’t matter, but the gist of the message does. Stop abusing yourself with hurtful comments and replace them with constructive and positive ones.

Of course, this is a process and it’s going to happen slowly over time, not overnight. Even so, begin by practicing some healthier self talk habits, and eventually you’ll stop the negative self talk for good.

Besides the fact that you have to stop abusing yourself, you’ll need to begin to treat yourself more kindly and higher self respect and self esteem.

Mental attitude is what most people focus on when it comes to gaining self-confidence and self-esteem in your self. Mental and physical aspects combine to make up confidence. You must understand the things behind confidence before you can build your self-esteem.

Emotion comes from emovere, which is a Latin word that means moving or displacing when translated to English it is simply an e in front of the word motion. The way you move will have an effect on your feelings.

You feel less self confidence when you stand with your shoulders slumped and head down than you do when you stand straight up with your head held high. People that are depressed hold their heads low and slump their shoulders. You will notice that you instantly began to feel better when you held your head high and back straight. You have more self confidence when you stand this way.

When you haven’t been positioning yourself in this way when standing or sitting you will feel uncomfortable at first. After a while you won’t even have to think about the way you are standing. When you meet someone for the first time you will feel nervous until you understand him or her more. Then you will be able to figure out what they think of you and become more comfortable. That’s right the posture you take says a lot. It turns into a prediction of the future if you do not do something to change it.

Making eye contact should be done during all communications that are done in person. It is not good to stare or focus on other parts of the anatomy inappropriately. Respect is established with the proper eye contact being used. Body language comes into play with the determination of just how much eye contact you should be giving someone.
