How to Repair Your Self-Esteem in 5 Easy Steps
By Cameron Holmes
There are many ways to attain higher self-esteem and self worth. Here are some effective steps that can repair your self-esteem in 5 easy ways. These steps will rejuvenate your spirit, allowing you to become a happier, more loving person.
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
1.Forgive yourself, and let go of past mistakes with no guilt. Enough said.
2.Develop a no justified resentment life. Just as you forgive yourself, forgive others that have wronged you. Let that past go. The secret to high self esteem is by realizing that you cannot take the things people do and say to you personal. Realize that people are imperfect as well and when they have unnecessary issue with you, it is not about YOU, it is about them. Let of grudges and resenting others - pray for them, and love them regardless, and focus on their best attributes instead of their negative ones.
3.Look good, for you! Do special things, for you. Having high self esteem is all about say no to the needs of others when it is time (and believe me, you will know when the needs of others are overshadowing yours) and saying yes to yourself.
By saying yes, and caring for you - your mind, your body, and developing your soul, you become a great parent, friend, spouse, teacher, mentor, ect because you feel at your best and worthy. Limit keeping negative company, and surround yourself with people who will accept and love you for who you are. That's taking responsibility for your life and the people you choose to have in it.
4.Love everything about you and make room for improvement. No one is perfect, but anyone can attain to be a better self. Accept the things that you cannot change, and that includes your body and your inherit capabilities. However, with God, anything is possible. Because you are most loved by your Creator, treat yourself as such. Meditate and pray on the things that you would like to change, and make active provisions about going about it.
5.Treat others with respect and with love. Positive self esteem comes from being empathetic to the needs of others. By respecting and being kind to everyone, equally, you are loving yourself. God is in everyone, even if they don't show it. When you are loving God, you are loving yourself.

Ellie Drake on "Raising Your Self Esteem"
Dear Sherrie,
Do you ever feel low with way too little get-up-and-go to
finish your to-do's?
According to BraveHeart blogger Dr. Sugar Singleton, this problem might not have a physical cause, like a vitamin deficiency or fibromyalgia. Instead, it can be due to low self-esteem.
"One of the most recognizable symptoms of low self-esteem," says Dr. Sugar, "is that you feel like you have no energy or even the desire to do anything. The lack of self-esteem causes you to do less, and the less you do, the less you feel like doing. This is a vicious cycle that needs to be broken, or it can have damaging effects on your mental, spiritual, and emotional health."
Want higher self-esteem? Dr. Sugar suggests three things you can do today and every day:
1. When you have a negative thought, realize that it is only a thought and not necessarily true. Do not dwell on it. Just let it go.
2. When a positive event, episode, or thought occurs, celebrate it. Allow it to stick to you and stay with you.
3. When someone offers a compliment, accept it wholeheartedly without any argument. Let the compliment sink in.
"Your self-esteem is the greatest asset you own," says Dr. Sugar - and it's the foundation of vibrant health.
Self-esteem was a theme of many of the speakers at last year's RISE conference, and I expect it to come up again and again during this year's discussions in Beverly Hills.
RISE is our once-a-year BraveHeart get-together. It's two days of nonstop INSPIRATION IN ACTION, and whether your self-esteem is low, middling or high, you'll tingle from all the positive energy there.
Will you join us? I hope so!
» RISE with us here!
In the BraveHeart spirit,
Ellie
P.S. Did you know the average person thinks about 60,000 thoughts each day, with 80% of those thoughts being negative?
