10 Steps to Improving Self-Esteem:
1. Build up your self-esteem. You must take an inventory. What do you want to improve or change about the way you interact with others? Try to make only one change at a time. Always check you progress before making another change.
2. Celebrate your journey, not your destination. Learn to always feel good about where you are now, and to exude self-confidence about anywhere you might find yourself tomorrow.
3. Set clear goals for yourself before every interaction. Know what you want. Think about how the people you will be meeting can help you reach those goals. Then decide how to approach each person accordingly. Apply this regularly and you will notice a difference.
4. Be proactive. Take the initiative. Be decisive. Let the other person know exactly how he or she can help you. Proactive people tent to be more successful in their career.
5. Treat each person you meet as if she or he is truly important. (You'll be amazed how this works.)
6. Give a firm handshake; look the other person straight in the eye. Practice both of these. Your handshake should be just right. Not too firm and not too loose. Train yourself to notice something you like or find attractive in the person.
7. Listen! Listen! Listen! Teach yourself to develop good listening skills. Learn a way to remember the other person's name. If in doubt simply ask for the name again 2 or 3 sentences into the conversation.
8. Visibly respond to the other person. Smile, nod agreement, and address him or her by name. Apply all you listening skills to visibly respond. The body language is the most important part of a conversation. Practice, practice, practice…
9. Pay more attention to the other person than to yourself. Are you responding to what may be going on in his or her life? Don't filter out bad news. Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Be caring.
10. Stay "in the moment." Don't mentally cut off the other person. Don't reload while he or she is speaking. What this means is that you need to focus on the other person 100% during a conversation. Anything less is considered rude.
BECASUE THEY ARE TIRED OF ALWAYS BEING SHY AND SCARED. they tell themselves, "ok, enough, i will not be shy anymore," becuase that is just a waste of life always being hidden!!
I don't know, but I'd like to see what people say to this because I have low self- esteem too.
Do things that you've been wanting to but have been scared to. For example, I've always been afraid to get on a ski lift and 2 years ago, I took skiing lessons and learned to do it. Now, I am not afraid anymore and I am feeling more confident and have better self-esteem.
To improve your self-esteem, you must do things to impress yourself. Do things you enjoy. Do things you are good at. Try something new (hense the impress yourself). Surround yourself with positive people, who inspire you.
Just do things that make you feel good about you!
It sounds simple, but that's it. :)
Good luck.
the good news is you don't have to counselling to build self-esteem, there is a self development program design to improve self-esteem also it is a lot cheaper
