How to improve self-esteem

1. You come first always.
2. Think of your success stories.
3. You have created a proud family and/ or a family is proud of you. Delve into that aspect and get your family’s positive feedback or assume so, even if it may not be so.
4. Respect other’s self esteem however low they are in others’ or your personal opinion, and then do reflect on what you have of yourself.
5. You are sane so far. And that goes to some extent to prove you have not yet lost self-esteem after all.
6. What you think is what it is-- basing on Tip # 5. So you must be right.
7. Do such acts or at least think on the lines that in your experience have built or build up further esteem in your own self.
8. Forget the feedbacks of others who are not close to you when the same were negative in your opinion. (Mind you must recognize their right to hold such opinion on you as you have such right to hold such negative opinions against them.)
9. Pray to God to give you more and more confidence as after all you are his creation.
10. Thank me for giving you the above tips.

Note: All said and done self-respect is what one grows with and known best to oneself. The above tips are indicative only and what all I could give in one go, off the cuff; when someone has recently asked me. I hope they would be useful to at least some who need them most.
