Build my self-esteem

I bought a book called, “Believing in Myself” which is a book of daily readings and affirmations. I read it while I drying my hair every morning. Some of it applies to me; some of it doesn’t.

I also bought a box of affirmation cards called “Healthy Body”. That’s a JOKE! They’re just a little too new age-y for me. “I love my colon” is just too far out there for me to appreciate!

I still like the card idea, though, so I’m going to keep trying to find a set I like.

I am new to this site and not very computer savvy, but I have a willing to learn and I want to grow in my life personally and externally and this is as good a place as any to start. I truly hope I conquer this goal and learn to have confidence within myself.

Let go, let go of expectations. Know that i can only control myself and my future. I’m the only part of that that i can forsee. Don’t put too much faith in the external. Know that if i want to make the most of my life, i need to make the most of me. Enjoy each moment. Let happiness alight upon me instead of chasing it in things or in people. Take a moment now just to be me, to experience life in all it’s glorious beauty.

Well honestly i think i’m doing really well. I dance nearly everyday! I meditate and do reiki several times a week. I bathe daily and pamper myself with nice products. I write i love you in my journal and think it as i do so. I spend time on my hobby, tarot reading as often as possible. I work passionately on my goals everyday!

I spend time reading and educating myself. I practice my gratitude daily and say thankyou to god and my angels for protecting and loving me. When i feel fear i do the thing i’m scared of immediately rather than dwelling on it! I find this eliminates the problems quickly and i can think of solutions. I spend time on my own enjoying my own company doing my own thing! Now i just need to get rich so i can do more exciting things! I appreciate the beautiful things and scences and seasons in my life, including my problems.

Speak in public(prepare well for it first)
Work on looking good
Perform in public(another goal)
Do good deeds,be nice to people
Do good work(quality and efficiency) and most important…
realise that everyone has their low and high points and be able to take BOTH of them with a pinch of salt!

I know its not a one time thing and the environment around you affects it and even the most confident persons have doubts about their abilities..but the important thing to remember is to never think i am not good enough for something or something(a simplified way fo thinking)..but thinking that way its diff to be grounded..sometimes u go on a sup track and sometimes low…hmm..its a very tough goal..have to find better ways to do this

Dancing- Showing that i love my body.
Meditation- Showing that i am appreciative of my mind
Reiki & Massage- Expressing self love physically
Tell myself i love you- Verbalizing my love for myself
Look in the mirror and appreciate myself- Visualizing loving myself
Practice a Hobby for 30 minutes daily- Giving time to myself to do what i love.
Work on my goals passionately- thinking about the future with myself
Reading- Spending time to relax and just do something i love for myself.
Be understanding, a friend to myself, don’t critize- I’m so self critical, i give myself hell if i don’t follow through on anything when i say i will- i need to start treating and talking to myself like i would a friend- show appreciation, compassion and understanding for myself. Not take things so seriously all the time and give myself some flexibility to be imperfect, and appreciate that’s what makes me perfect as i am.
Only accept positive feedback in my life- don’t wallow in any negativity as it’s not productive at all, give myself that benifit.
Buy myself monthly presents of appreciation- if i love someone i do this for them, i should also do it for myself. Maybe some flowers!
Tell myself everyday i’m bigger than my problems and i’m worth more than any of my experiences. That i am the most beautiful loving person in the world and that i deserve the best in life, just as i would tell a friend.
Enjoy my own company and feel safe on my own- repeat affirmations. Know that i am never alone as i always have myself.
Create massive self love & respect & compassion and be grateful for myself everyday!

There are many different ways of showing that i love myself. I must make sure that i practice this daily. If anyone else can think of a way that i can show myself self-love unconditionally then that would be great. Please give me some feedback. Thankyou!
