How to gain self esteem

1. Make a list of 25 things you like about yourself. It can be anything...physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. It's your list put what you want on it. All the stuff that makes you feel good about yourself.

2. Get into shape. Sound like I'm telling you to exercise...I am. If you like the way you look, you'll love the way you feel. And feelings are what help you gain self esteem.

3. Make a new positive friend. Do you currently hang around low energy or negative people. That's okay if you do for now. But once you change your focus from negative to positive you'll start to attract positive and uplifting people into your life.

4. Get loose once a week. By that I mean let you hair down and have some fun. (This is my biggest challenge right now.) But I'm actively working through it. And I hope you do as well.

5. Go to lunch with a friend. Go out to lunch and have an inspiring conversation. And do not talk about anyone else except for each other. No gossiping.

6. If you want to gain self esteem do something every other day that gives you butterflies. You know the ones you feel in your stomach when you think others might not accept what you are doing.

7. Go dancing. No not after you've had a few to drink. I mean completely sober. That's right you and a friend or partner need to find a dance floor and shake you stuff.

8. Tell jokes. These don't have to be your own made up jokes. Do a search for funny jokes on Google or buy a jokes book, and tell them the next chance you get.

9. Walk with authority. No more head hanging for you. You will feel the difference immediately. And others around you will notice this instantly as well.

10. Make fun of yourself. The next time you make a mistake just laugh it off. Don't take it so personally. We all make mistakes. It's called living. Experiencing life.
