To Build Self Esteem

As individuals we all need a boost of self-esteem.  We are constantly pressured to transform ourselves into the images around us, whether it be those of our peers or people in the media.

How can you build your self esteem and withstand the pressure to be less than yourself?  It's as easy as reminding yourself of who you are and what you stand for as an individual.  It includes loving the person that you are and allowing yourself to be influenced by the positive images in your environment.

If negative thoughts threaten to lower your self esteem focus on the positive at all times. I know this is not easy to do, especially when your self esteem has been trampled on repeatedly.  This has continued to be a problem for me as well. So to help me to continue to build a positive self-image of myself and maintain it, I created this blog as a constant reminder of who I am and who I want to be.

You will come to find that there are positive, uplifting messages all around you.  It's in the lyrics to a song, a speech, through the accomplishments of others and even a simple picture.  You just have to be in-tuned with those messages and let it sink so deep into your heart that you have no choice but to be inspired.  You will gain an instant boost to your self esteem.

I hope the things that have inspired me to become better can also help you as well. Live each day like it's your last and take nothing and no one for granted.

Here's to a Healthy Self Esteem!!!
