Improving low self esteem

We all know that you cannot just wipe your past away and forget the bad things that happened to you to cause you to have damaged self esteem today. So how do you deal with low self esteem when you need a quick boost? There is a way you can have a quick fix if you need an instant boost to your self esteem. Take note that this is not a long-term, permanent solution. It will make you feel better and more confident in the moment. The only way this can become permanent is when you approach it very seriously, do the exercises regularly and do it with a strong believe and confidence that it can and will work for you. What am I talking about? Self esteem affirmations, of course! Replacing the negative voice in your head (telling you that you cannot, not good enough, too fat, unattractive) with a positive one. Want to try it?

1. Start by slowing down your breathing by breathing deeply and slowly from you stomach,

3. Feel fully awake and focused on the present moment,
4. Repeat any of the affirmations below and believe it with your whole being. Drink it in and make it your own. If you feel unsure or fake when saying it, keep on repeating it until you feel it is your own,
