To be frank self-esteem is your opinion of yourself and your abilities, you can high, low, or somewhere in the middle. While we all have doubts, low-self-esteem can leave you feeling insecure and unmotivated. So, if you’re wondering how to improve your self-esteem here are some tips:
Be nice to yourself: tell your bitchity cricket to shut up! Make an effort to be nice to yourself. Progress not perfection.
You do you: Stop comparing yourself to others, that’s a sure way to feel shitty.
Get movin: exercise is a great way to increase motivation, practice setting goals and build confidence. Breaking a sweat also cues the body to release endorphins, the feel good stuff.
