People often ask for my help to build their confidence. But one cannot create confidence without first building self-esteem.
Action – So here are some fast, guaranteed, esteem builders:
- At the end of every day, recognize your achievements and celebrate your successes by writing them down in a special journal to keep track of them.
- Be proud of what you do by sharing it with someone else.
- Find the good in others, even when it’s difficult.
- Talk to yourself with respect.
- Focus time, attention and love on all your personal relationships.
- Find purpose and meaning in your tasks, even if they are not always appealing.
- Give to others each day without expectation of return.
