How To Build Confidence and Self-Esteem: 10 Easy Ways
How To Build Confidence and Self-Esteem: 10 Easy Ways To Do It
Today's topic will be on 10 easy ways to build up your confidence and self-esteem.
Most likely, these tips won't be new to you but hopefully it'll be a great reminder to you in case you're experiencing a self-esteem crisis ;)
1) Starting Your Day Right
As soon as you wake up, remind yourself that you are a unique person who deserves all the best in this life. Look at the mirror, smile at yourself and accept yourself just the way you are :)
Be thankful for this new day!
2) Realize Your Life Purpose
You were born to fulfill your own mission on Earth.
Don't get too distracted, achieve your goals. Discover your life purpose and be brave to realize your plans. This should give you confidence since you will feel that you are on your OWN life path.
3) Positive Thinking
Don't let people criticizing you influence you. Try to surround yourself with people who believe in you, support your and even inspire you.
When you try things online, this will be a lot more common than expected. But luckily, Wealthy Affiliate is the best platform online to surround yourself with successful people and receive all the support needed. Agreed or not? ;)
Anyway, try to avoid negative people who didn't achieve anything in life and try to stop you from achieving your own success. These people will always try to drag you down.

4) Set Realistic Goals
It's important to set realistic goals. If you keep achieving your goals one after another, you will gain other people's respect, and will build up your self-esteem. I definitely think this is one of the best ways to improve self-confidence.

5) Compliment Yourself
Say "good job" to yourself.
Do something that your soul will enjoy. For me, it's a variety of things: going to the nail salon, riding a bicycle, taking a bath with a book, beach vacation, among others.
If you wish, you can write down the great things you've done today in your success journal. Another great way to improve self-esteem and confidence.
6) Never Give Up
Everybody experiences downs and goes through serious challenges, but it shouldn't be the reason to give up/quit what you started.
The fear of failure can kill not only your self-esteem but also your best ideas. Look fear in the eye. Focus on good things and believe that you can do it!
And if you are blogger... Keep calm and blog on!
7) Accept and Love Yourself
This one is similar to #1.
If you want others to respect, accept and love you - you first have to do it yourself.
Nobody's perfect, including yourself, but it's not the reason not to love yourself. Learn to think and talk about yourself in a positive way (it takes some time but it's definitely possible).
Likewise, learn to accept and respect other people. Don't expect, criticize or judge - just accept them. And you will see how your relationship with the others will improve.
8) Be Honest
These days it's not easy to be honest.
But if you try and stay honest, most importantly with yourself, then life will become easy. You won't have to come up with excuses, try to remember the old lie and be afraid that the truth will come out.
To be honest is to say what you think and to do what you think is right to do. Not everyone will like it but YOU will. It's a wonderful feeling of being free and independent.
9) Improve Yourself
Every day try to improve yourself in different ways - try to learn new things, (whether it is a portrait photography or learning a foreign language), meet new people, read new books, go through new training tutorials, build new habits/get rid of bad habits and so forth.
Do everything to improve and become a better version of yourself.
10). Improve Your Sense of Humour
Smile is a powerful instrument. :)
Try to make other people laugh/smile and you will feel good yourself. Life will be so much more pleasant!
These are the 10 things I'd find useful to improve one's self-esteem and confidence.
