Self-esteem: The Lazy Person’s Guide!

Improving your self-esteem isn’t about becoming selfish, loud, competitive and arrogant. It’s about taking care of yourself so that you have the strength and energy to help and give to others when appropriate.

It’s easy to look back and blame the past, your parents, your siblings, your teachers, your partner for leaving you, and so on, but at the end of the day the way you feel about yourself now is your responsibility. You can choose now to respond to life without your old self-doubt, hesitation and confusion.

it is time to take a deep breath and deal with the present.

It’s about being yourself, and knowing that within you lies the power to create all that you want in life.

when self-esteem is low you are not in the driving seat. Other people or events are steering the wheel, while you crouch in the back wondering where they will take you next.

You need to feel relaxed and happy in all aspects of your life to function optimally.

Without a doubt. Life is about doing, not thinking about doing.

If you don’t think you are good enough, attractive enough, popular enough or talented enough, ask yourself: Am I being realistic? No-one is completely good or wholly bad. Stop focusing entirely on the negative and allow the positive into the picture.

Your aim is not to win or make someone agree with you, but to find a solution that suits everyone.

‘When you said that it made me feel anxious’ instead of ‘You are making me feel anxious.’
