Hello, Sassy Pants! Increasing Self-Esteem!

So in yesterday’s post I talked a bit about my issues with Low self-esteem and how I am facing it.

In today’s post I am going to list a few more different things that we can all do to boost our Self-Esteem, Self-Confidence and Inner net-worth!

Mastering new skills – find something that you enjoy, study it, learn it and own it! By becoming skilled in an area that interests you, you will increase your sense of competency!

Evening lists! You know me I have a list for everything, but this one is extra special – it’s a list of congratulations, to myself for my daily accomplishments! We all deserve a pat on the back for our daily wins, so give that to yourself!

Get clear with yourself on your values! Do a check list (oh look another list) of your life, go into all area’s and make sure you are aligned with your values.

Battle of the beliefs – everytime you catch yourself belittling yourself, or getting into a negative nancy mode – take a minute and question yourself – challenge the negative thoughts, tell them to sod off. Always best if you don’t do this one aloud.. unless you’re in a private space… aheh.

Let negative people go… I say this all the time, but my goodness it’s the one I struggle with the most. I hate letting people go, I mean you really have to push me to a point of no returns before I will walk out of your life. Yet it’s something I am learning to do, something I recommend – if someone’s actions, or lack of action in your life is causing you to doubt yourself, and feel crappy on a regular basis, you really have to do yourself a favour and show them the door. There are billions of people in this world, plenty of those people will surround us with love and positive vibes… so why do we waste our time on the ones adding no value?

Following on from this… I think I personally, and I’m sure some of you need to be working out what our boundaries are. Then respecting ourselves to make those boundaries ‘No Negotiables’ in our lives. By living without boundaries, we end up accidentally allowing people to take advantage of us, manipulate us, control us. Being confident means maintaining firm, solid boundaries.

Take care of yourself and your appearance. It’s not false that when you look your best, you feel your best, when you feel your best, you do your best!

Sassy pants on – you got this!
