FINDING MEANING Human beings are social creatures. We live in and are affected by the society which surrounds us. To truly feel good about ourselves we have to feel part of our community in some way. We need to feel that we are making a contribution. The way in which one does this is unique to every individual. But connecting to and participating in something bigger than yourself contributes greatly to your own sense of self worth.
Find a meaning. Find a cause. Find something which is important to you and create it, build it, defend it.

Just because you are blood kin does not mean you have to allow yourself to be in unhealthy relationships with them. If you have a family member who is demeaning or abusive consider what keeps you in a relationship with them. You may need to make some tough choices.

Choose your friends If you surround yourself with negative, hypercritical friends this cannot help your self esteem. A friend is someone who will give you honest feedback when you ask for it, but do it with compassion and kindness. They tell you the truth, but they dont attack or belittle you. They dont bring you down, just keep you real. Look at who you spend the most time with and how your interactions with them affect you. You might need to make some changes.

Choose your partners If you chose to go in a relationshipwhen you are ready. We dont want one that is unhealthy, you may need to take some time to work on it and make a clear decision to leave. You cannot lift your self esteem while being belittled on a daily basis. Many people stay in relationships which are unhealthy out of a fear of being alone. It may be necessary to turn and face this fear before you can feel better about yourself.
FIND YOUR PASSION If you havent found what excites you, explore. We spend an awful lot of our lives working. If your work is not your passion, if it is only for the money, grades, status, if it is only because your family expects it of you - think again. Work that is depressing or unfulfilling sucks an awful lot of energy out of your life. Choose carefully. Change if you need to.

S TO P D R E S S I N G F O R S U C C E S S A N D D R E S S TO E X P R E S S Express yourself. Dont wear what other people think you should. Wear what is comfortable. Wear what you feel good in. Wear things that express who you are as a person. If you live in a situation where you are not free to express who you really are, you may need to make some different choices. Living a lie, maintaining a facade everyday also sucks a lot of energy and reinforces in your mind that you are not O.K.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF If there is something in your life which is plaguing you, grab it by the horns and change it. Gain better control and it makes you feel more mature and self confident. If there is some behaviour which bothers you, i.e. procrastination, money management, being on time, being better organized, etc. tackle it. Getting a handle on something which has been handling you will increase your self esteem and make your life more manageable.

FACE A FEAR So often we are taught to run from or medicate our fears. This may work in the short term, but it doesnt develop self esteem. Self esteem comes from overcoming something, from fighting your way through to the other side and knowing you beat it. Be sensible about the fear you choose to overcome and be reasonable in how you choose to overcome it, but try it and see if you dont stand a little taller.
