Nearly everyone struggles with self esteem issues at some point during their life. For some of us, it is because we received harmful messages during childhood that undermined our feelings of self worth. For others of us, it is because of an event, such as a divorce or job loss, that happened later in life. Some people feel unworthy because of their appearance. Others lack self esteem because of economic limitations. Whatever the reason, we all struggle at one time or another, and could use some advice about how to build self confidence. Do you feel that you have no control over your own emotions? Because bad feelings often come as the result of events beyond our control, we often get the idea that good feelings can only come this way, too. This is not the case. There are many steps you can take to improve your own inner environment. Here are some ideas. Physical Activity. I cannot stress enough what a huge difference exercise can make in your state of mind. Even if you only work in a couple of workouts a week, you will notice changes. And if you manage thirty minutes to an hour three or four times a week, it could be revolutionary. Exercise makes your body feel wonderful. The more you work out, the easier the workouts become, and the more you can do. Your increased strength will make you feel confident and powerful. Pinpoint Something You Do Well. No matter who you are, there are things that come naturally to you and that you can do well without too much effort. For some, it may be writing. For others, singing. Some people are amazing cooks, while others are wonderful listeners. It is important to find out what you do naturally well, and to do it on a regular basis. There is nothing wrong with challenging yourself and learning how to do new things; that is a great risk to take! But you will do much better at the more challenging things if you give yourself the regular reinforcement and boosted confidence that comes from doing the things that come naturally. Take Pride in Your Appearance If you are depressed, one of the worst things you can do is to let your depression manifest itself in your appearance. However, that is all too often exactly what happens. When we are depressed, we lack the energy to take care of ourselves. We look tired and disheveled, and the image in the mirror only reinforces our feelings of inadequacy. When you are depressed, it is even more important to wear colors that make you feel good and clothes that make you feel confident and attractive. That way, each time you see your reflection, your low self esteem is challenged rather than reinforced. You already have all of the tools you need to feel good about yourself. As the old adage goes, "get in where you fit in." You don't have to radically alter your life to feel better about yourself. Once you make some small changes, any necessary big changes will follow.
