by Karl Perera

There are some pretty simple steps you can take to improve your self esteem. I will show you how these five steps can help you improve your self confidence as well.

1. Question your negative self talk - do you sometimes tell yourself things which stop you from acting positively? This inner critical talk stops you achieving and makes you think negatively.
   
   When you begin to question the negative self talk which holds you back you see that most of what you tell yourself is not true. This first step is important because it will help you act more positively.
   
   Questioning your self talk will put you on a path towards more self confidence. Don't believe everything you tell yourself, question it. Challenge your inner self to justify those negative comments which pop into your head.
    
2. Help others - this is a great way to build your self esteem because helping others makes you feel you have value. Someone needs you and benefits from your presence in the world. Doing something positive like this can change your attitude completely.
   
   
3. Make a list - maybe several lists!
   
4. Challenge yourself - If life is too easy you begin to get bored and miserable. You may blame yourself for your lack of interest in life. The result may be low self esteem. Doing something challenging will increase your sense of self worth.
   
   A challenge doesn't have to be something you fear. It can be an opportunity to grow and learn. Self-improvement is necessary if you want to improve your self esteem, so think of challenges as positive steps towards your goal of high self esteem!
   
5. Learn something more - learning is a way to improve yourself. Knowledge is powerful and will make you more confident.
