Self esteem activitiesUse these self esteem activities to help you along the path of self discovery. Don't worry these activities are not hard and they won't cost you a ton of money. And hey, you can do them all by yourself, with your partner or in a crowded room. It's your self esteem journey you choose. The best practice would be to do something...anything every single day.
And work your way through the other self esteem building activities as you advance on your journey.
There's no right or wrong way to do these activities. There's no order to follow.
Just do what works best for.
1. Smile in the mirror for a FULL minute (sound to simple and easy? Go try it now!) 2. Say Hello to everyone you encounter today. Start with the people you live with. Then at the grocery store. The gas station. The post office. Your co-workers. Everyone. No exceptions. 3. Say to yourself (out loud if there isn't anyone around to think you completely lost your mind) I love and accept myself. Say this at least 100 times during the day everyday without fail.
This is called a self esteem affirmation!
5. Make eye contact with a stranger and smile. Almost every time you will get a smile in return. And it feels good to exchange this little moment of happiness with someone else. 6. Find a good book to read. It can be anything to start with. Just pick something you enjoy. Something that will take your mind of yourself for a bit to get some peace and quiet.
Here you'll find some recommendations of my all time favorite books to help with your self esteem building development.
8. Make an "I'm grateful for..." list. Put everything you're currently grateful for down on a piece of paper. Or hey make a journey entry of your list! If you think right now you have nothing to be grateful for, trust me you do. The fact that you’re able to read this should make you grateful. The fact that you’re able to breathe on your own should make you feel grateful. 9. Dance! Turn on some music a get moving. This simple activity alone could get you your good belly laugh. 10. Make peace with yourself. Forgive yourself for anything your ashamed of from the past or present. Forgive yourself for every mistake you've ever made. Start fresh today. A clean slate. No exception! If you can commit to at least try some or all of these self esteem building activities you will notice a difference in how you feel very soon. These actions work…and they work for anyone and everyone whose give them a whirl. Don’t let another minor mistake set you off into a complete ass chewing of yourself. It’s not necessary. Life will go on. And as long as you’re living and breathing mistakes will be made. But it’s up to you to move past mistakes and blunders with your self esteem still in tack.
