Do you think we can improve our self-esteem?
Hello friends I hope you are well, and that you are having a great week, I wish you a week full of many successes and good things. Today I come with a topic that particularly seems to me very important and I know that many people although they do not accept it they need to reinforce, OUR SELF-ESTEEM.
First of all we can define SELF-ESTEEM in the following way:
” Self-esteem is the generally positive assessment of oneself. For psychology, it is the emotional opinion that individuals have of themselves and that surpasses rationalization and logic in its causes. ” Source
Now that we have defined this word, I can say that it is something fundamental in our lives, in the way we see ourselves we are going to transmit or reflect something to others, I think that many times this can be felt and that other people can detect that something is not right.
Today I want to mention some techniques that can help us strengthen our self-esteem since it is something we should always work on.
How do you talk to yourself? Do you criticize yourself or say negative things to yourself? I think this is a key point, we must learn to treat ourselves as we treat others, many times we treat our friends better than ourselves, something that of course does not make sense. We must think first of ourselves, of our mental health, to love and respect ourselves as we are, we can improve? surely, but that does not mean that we should judge ourselves so severely.
DO NOT COMPARE US, sometimes we think that by comparing us we will feel better or we will be able to see what we need, but the reality is that the opposite happens, we get hurt and we can fall into a vicious circle, we are all different people, we all have mistakes and defects, but also virtues and good things to contribute. We should look at the people we are today and the people we were 5 or 10 years ago and we can compare what we have achieved, whether we have advanced or not, I think this is a healthy comparison.
THINKING MORE ABOUT OURSELVESSometimes we think that to be better we have to think more about others than about ourselves, and the truth is that we are wrong, we are the protagonists of this movie, if we don't want to do something we must learn to say no, if we don't feel good it is better not to do it, we must be comfortable with who we are and what we do, if we are not doing something wrong we are doing it.
TO REMOVE TOXIC PEOPLE FROM OUR LIFE, many of the people around us are people who do not allow us to move forward, who fill us with negative thoughts, people who pollute our lives, and in the end end change our way of being and thinking, so we must leave and take another path, I return and repeat to think of us first, it is better to surround ourselves with few people who fill us with good things than many who INTOXICATE LIFE.
LOVING AND ACCEPTING EACH OTHER MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY, it is important that we enjoy the person we are, that we are happy with the things we have been able to achieve, with the achievements and also with the failures because we learn from them, and experience is very important, it is something that will help us a lot in the future. Consenting is also part of loving ourselves, I think it's not bad to give ourselves a treat or take some special time for ourselves.
LEARNING FROM OUR ERRORS, many times thanks to those mistakes we can improve enormously and we can grow as people. Seeing the positive side of things that happen to us is very important, it is not easy, I know, it happens to me a lot, but it is worth trying.
AND FINALLY, GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE, Many of us find it difficult because we feel safe there, but change and new things help us to move forward and get to know ourselves better, we can know what we are capable of, of course, things can go well or they may not, but it is better to try than to wait for things to happen on their own. And if they go wrong we should look at the positive side and take it as an experience, we already know that next time we should do everything differently.
I HOPE THESE STRATEGIES CAN BE OF GREAT HELP TO YOU... :)
Thanks for reading me!
Comparison is a thief of joy and most of us do it. There’s something we all don’t like about ourselves but we often focus on that instead of the many other things we have. To be successful, we need to build our self esteem.

Hello @franyeligonzalez
Talking about self-esteem seems to be something very simple, and if we see it superficially it is, however, many people don't even think about it, or think that if they feel more than others it is because their self-esteem is high, and I think it is the opposite.
Hello friend, that's right, I think sometimes we interpret it differently, and we should believe more in ourselves!

Hi friend, thanks for stopping by!
We have been told over and over again that the key to being happier, feeling better, and achieving our goals is having more self-esteem.
The most effective strategy for improving self-esteem is learning to conceive of yourself in more realistic terms and with acceptance. It is no use wanting to go from a completely destructive view of yourself to a totally idealized or deceptive one. The best thing is to learn to relativize failures and accept each of our physical and psychic characteristics, understanding that there are things that can be changed, others that can be improved and others that by their very nature or etiology are unchangeable.
Self-esteem is about the opinion we have of ourselves, a subjective appreciation about our worth. Therefore, we understand self-esteem as the concept we have of our own value, based on the feelings, thoughts, sensations and experiences that we have in relation to ourselves.
Self-esteem is not an absolute figure, it can fluctuate, go up or down depending on the moment or time. Of course, we can always affect our self-esteem because it has a very powerful psychological component: what we think.
To feel better when you are a little low in spirits, stop continually thinking about yourself and your discomfort and try to draw your attention outward. And it is that thinking only about your problems does not do you any favors, it will only make the situation worse.
Hello friend, you are right, thanks for commenting!
Self-aid and self-improvement are sciences which should be taught in school but aren't. And depression becomes a plague.
People lacking self-esteem become victims, slaves of others easily.

Hablar de autoestima es un tema con muchas vertientes, actualmente la psicología positiva encauza sus discursos hacia el Amor Propio...amarse a sí mismo, ir adentro, que pienso, que emoción manifiesto en situaciones presentadas y como las manejo. Mirarse mucho al espejo... Saludos buen tema.
Hi friend, thanks for commenting!
It is an important topic, sometimes it seems very simple to us, but I know people who have a hard time raising their self-esteem, and this advice is of great value, sometimes we criticize ourselves very harshly and surround ourselves with people who only detract from our own value, so this is good advice to share. Greetings @franyeligonzalez.
Greetings @franyeligonzalez.
Good point to start, I consider that the way we communicate with our inner being, will define our personality, and without a doubt the level of self-esteem we have, I always look for the positive side of things that happen to me day by day, I try not to break in front of any obstacle, because I think that adversities are only steps to climb to the top. Thank you for this wonderful publication, best regards, we keep reading.
