Soaring self-esteem

We formulate who we are through a lifetime experience.As children,our self-confidence is either nurtured or destroyed depending on how we interpret events.Hundreds of assumptions are formed before we reach adulthood.A teacher could have told you that you'll never amount to anything in our life,or your first boyfriend could have told you tat you're fat.The trick is to know that everyone is filtering the `truth`.In other words,everyone is wearing different,funny-coloured pairs of spectacles and seeing their own version of truth.Getting your own house in order first is the key to self-esteem.Knowing the boundaries of what you will and won't accept is vital.In this way,those around you aren't defining who you are the whole time.If you went by their reflections,you would never know who you're trying to be.You can't please everyone all the time.The only thing you can do is d0 the best of yourself and know where your limits are.Self-confidence is a will that can disappear as fast as you've captured it.The trick is to build on your esteem foundations so that you can refer to your success and know that you have a core of confidence that will never be knocked.Start building up your own library of successes in your life.If you can put these mementos into a scrapbook,great.Collect photos and certificates of your glorious moments so that you then have a permanent record of wins that you can go back and refer to, no matter how bad things get in future.Spend a day looking up rather than down and see how much more positive you feel about life.Stand up tall,put your shoulders back and smile.Acting as if you were confident will work quickly and effectively to elevate ur self-esteem.
Drag your thoughts away from your troubles...by the ears or by heels or any other way u can manage it.
