Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Boost Your Self Esteem

Treat Yourself the Same as You Would Treat a Valued Friend

The best way to improve your self-esteem is to treat yourself as you’d treat a valued friend, in a positive but honest way. Notice when you’re putting yourself down, such as thinking, “You’re so stupid for not getting that job”, and instead think, “Would I say that to my best friend?”. You probably wouldn’t. Tell yourself something positive instead, such as: “You’re a bright person, you’ll get the next job”

NOTE: If you don’t love yourself how will you be able to love others? Is it time to forgive yourself for not being perfect? Is it time to release the expectations others have for you and grab hold of the expectations  you hold in your heart? Is it time to let go of past wrongs and hurts and let the scars heal? Love yourself and you’ll find how much easier it is to love others.
