Self-esteem directly affects professional and personal growth.
Practice self-affirmation
Take a few minutes each day to repeat positive affirmations about yourself. For example, you can say: "I am worthy of love and respect" or "I can succeed and deserve it." So, gradually you will be able to change your thinking.
Define achievable goals
Start by setting small, realistic goals to work towards. By achieving them, you will have a sense of fulfilled duty and at the same time gain confidence in your abilities. It's important to celebrate successes, no matter how small they may seem, as this will motivate you to keep going.
Surround yourself with positive people
Look for those who lift your spirits and support you. Surround yourself with positive people who believe in your strengths. On the other hand, you should minimize contact with those who suppress or undermine your self-esteem.
Take care of yourself
For example, spend time in nature, take up a hobby, exercise, practice mindfulness, or meditate.
Fight negative thoughts
It is important to be able to challenge negative thoughts and rethink them. If you sometimes think of yourself with extreme disdain, then you should ask whether this feeling is confirmed. In practice, these negative views are always unfounded or exaggerated. By replacing negative thoughts with positive and realistic beliefs, you can boost your self-esteem.
