How to Improve Your Self-Esteem

Step1

Take stock of your strengths. Review what you are good at and tasks you excel at.

Step2

Think of things you can do or projects you can undertake that use and develop these strengths.

Step3

Reflect honestly on your weaknesses - but instead of dwelling on how lazy, mean, disorganized or passive you are, commit to change. Brainstorm specific things you can do to overcome the flaws you believe you have.

Step4

Survey your environment. Is a friend, family member or co-worker criticizing you unjustly? Distance yourself from this person or resolve not to let his or her opinion affect you.

Step5

Act confidently. People will sense your self-confidence and respond positively to you, strengthening your image and self-image all at once
