They really work.
Self-Esteem — it is a psychological phenomenon that means how a person sees himself and evaluates himself. Quite often, a person's self-esteem is underestimated, that is, a person's real capabilities are higher than his ideas about them. Fortunately, this — not a fixed value, and we can effectively help ourselves, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
Psychologist Aizhana Abduldaeva listed 10 effective ways to increase self-esteem and self-confidence on Instagram.
Important points for increasing self-esteem:
1. Learn to listen to yourself, not to others.
With low self-esteem, it is more important for a person what others say than what he thinks or feels himself.
⠀
2 . Stop criticizing yourself for the slightest mistakes.
Constant criticism leads to the fact that you begin to notice only the negative in your life and your actions.
⠀
3. Keep a success diary.
Notice your accomplishments and successes by keeping a success diary every day. Every evening write down even the smallest achievements and victories.
4. Do not put things off until tomorrow.
A large number of postponed and unfinished things lead to a feeling of inner dissatisfaction.
A person begins to feel inferior.
⠀
5 . Don't be afraid to make a mistake.
Learn not to perceive mistakes as a total defeat. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn a new lesson and advance in understanding life.
⠀
6. Know how to refuse.
The ability to say no when I don't want to do what others offer me, as well as to think and feel like others, increases self-confidence.
⠀
7. Shape your identity.
Each of us has several roles. Man or woman, mother or father, daughter or son, husband or wife, boss or subordinate, etc. A good understanding of myself requires that I know who I am and what I am in each of my roles.
⠀
8. Learn to recognize and satisfy your needs.
Needs answer the question, what do I want and what do I need?
9. Learn to make choices.
Elections are an important part of our lives. The ability to understand between what and what I choose, to overcome internal conflicts from conflicting needs — gives you the opportunity to take responsibility and make important choices in your life.
⠀
10. Go to a therapist
There can be difficulties and stagnation in each of the above items. Therefore, if you cannot cope with the problem on your own, I recommend contacting a specialist. The ability to admit one's helplessness and seek support also contributes to good self-reliance, trust in the world, and therefore strengthening one's self-esteem.
