I Have Low Self-Esteem: What can I do about it?
For a growing child, correct and honest praises, feeling of love and affection, getting attention and physical affection, and treating with relevance and presence will lead to healthy self-esteem. Sadly, many growing child are not receiving these kinds of treatment from their parents and community. Many children are abused, treated harshly, beaten, ignored, teased, ridiculed, and criticized for their work and inabilities. As a result, they would not develop a healthy self-esteem but a low self-esteem.
As these children become adults, they tend to carry several low self-esteem characteristics which they should not suppose to have. Some of these are the unwillingness to assume responsibilities, unwillingness to take on challenges, less social conformity, lack self-confidence, overly conscious about what image they project on other people, emotional confusion, anxiety, blaming everything on themselves, and even depression.
If you are a person with these kinds of characteristics and has recognized and realized that you need to change, here are the 3 key steps you can do:
Refute the inner voice
A person with low self-esteem is said to have an inner voice that tells him that there is something wrong about himself in relation to the things happening around him; where in fact, this is just a false impression. Refuting the inner voice is the most crucial among the 3 steps. Here, you have to change your outlook in life, which would include your views about your persona and other people around you.
To do this, you have to contest what your mind tells you. For example, a low self-esteemed person would think that others are mad of him if they are frowning or not saying anything. Instead of thinking this way, you should not conclude that a person who is just not smiling or not saying anything is already mad at you.
Thinking this way will give two good effects: you eliminate your fear towards the person, and you can have a good relation to people without any reserve.
Observe self-nurturing
Since the first step would not be enough to give you a good and healthy self-esteem, the next step is equally important.
A low self-esteemed person has several past experiences that lead to what he is right now. His fears, misconceptions, and other beliefs about himself make him see himself as a worthless person. Thus, to improve self-esteem, start treating yourself as a person with purpose and worth.
Nurture yourself with basic self-care. Regular exercise, healthy eating, good rest, and personal hygiene are some of the things you can do.
Learn to relax and take a break. Have fun and improve your social skills by intermingling with people. Rejection may happen once in a while but this does not mean that everybody hates you. Learn to treat each person as an individual entity and not as a representation of everyone.
Other self-nurturing would include regular recognizing of your strengths and weaknesses, rewarding your accomplishments, forgiving yourself if something went not according to plan, and not blaming yourself on failures of others.
Seek help from others
Starting your social life would also mean starting to seek help from the right person. These could be your friends, mentors, and therapist. Opening up to these people with yield to a better relation to other people.
Although these 3 steps may sound simple, it needs a lot of work, determination, and confidence. Begin to work out your way through these 3 steps. Before you know it, you are a better person with a healthy self-esteem.
