How To Increase Self-Esteem
So you are looking into ways and techniques to enable you to gain confidence and increase self-esteem. Well have a guess what? You have come to the right place as in this article I will be providing free tips and advice about this very subject, I hope you enjoy the read.
I spent the first twenty-two years of my life having to cope with a stuttering problem. This as you may imagine had a major, negative, impact on my overall self-esteem and self-confidence. I was constantly accepting second best in life and was often in a depressed state of mind. I was less than impressed with the hand of cards that I had been dealt and was full of self pity. I believed, in my negative way, that I would struggle at the dating game, I would struggle to forge a successful career and that I would therefore have a rather unhappy future. What was the point? Where was the hope? Why should I get out of bed in the morning? These were questions that I asked myself on a regular basis. I became in a form of rut and could see no way out.
It was not until my early twenties that I was to emerge out of this negativity. No longer was I going to accept second best, no longer was I going to be a depressive, no longer was I going to fear social situations and no longer was I going to be a loner.
So what was the catalyst to my new found strength? Well alcohol of all things is the answer to this question. Ever since I had become a young adult, aged 16 or 17, I had been drinking rather too much alcohol. When intoxicated I could speak as fluently as the next man, I was happy, I was fearless, I was confident and I was care-free. Now do not worry the solution to your confidence and self-esteem issues is not to become drunk every night but what had this experience with alcohol taught me? Well quite simply it showed me that I was able to speak fluently and that I could be happy.
I just had to live life when sober as I did when I was drink. For example I had to learn to be far more positive, far more care-free and far more stress-free. I am worthy, I am a nice person and I am clever.
I have also now realised that I have actually been dealt a very good hand of cards, I am one of life’s lucky ones. I have a new found belief that the future should be an exciting and successful one!
I hope that my new found confidence will enable me to be able to help more people to learn how to play the guitar, this is something that is very important to me as it is a great instrument to play.
The Best Way To Stop Stressing
Up until a few years ago many of my friends and family used to call me “a stress head”. Why you may well be thinking? I basically worried and stressed about most aspects of life.
So what was the cause of all of this stress? I suppose if I am truthful the majority of my problems at the time came about due to the fact that I had a stutter. This speech impediment had developed when I was at the age of four. As you may well imagine it is something that destroyed my overall confidence levels. Therapy for stuttering, at the time, was less than impressive which did not exactly help the situation.
My low self-esteem had a bad affect on many areas of my life, not just my speech. I would worry about what other people thought of me, I would stress about my height and my weight. I had a need or want, for some unknown reason, for people to like me. I have to say that this now seems so bizarre however at the time I was being plagued by an army of demons that had taken over my brain.
As I entered into my twenties I decided that enough was enough. I could no longer live in this way – there surely had to be more to life than this.
I was soon to realise that I was the only person who was going to sort my life out.
I started to work very hard at learning how to increase self-esteem for example. I watched the way in which great fluent talkers spoke and tried to compare it with the way that I spoke. I hoped this would result in me finding the solution to my stuttering problem.
Progress was far from quick however after around a year of battling against my demons I did manage to overcome the stutter and I did manage to discover ways to stop me stressing – it is all about attitude and the way we approach life – think positive and believe in yourself!
Effectively Conquer All Obstacles With These 4 Tips
Everyone faces their own set of challenges each day, and overcoming these obstacles is part and parcel of personal growth. Occasionally, we fail. But, we just don't realize how often we do win. We just don't realize how persevering and how strong the human spirit really is. So when we are faced with a challenge, we are suddenly overcome by self-doubt, reflection of failures, frustration and immobility. Here are 4 tips to help you deal with the immense negative energy we often associate with challenges
1. Fear is merely an anticipation.
It never really is as bad as you think they are. Take immediate action and face those fears. Start with the smaller ones since resolving and facing them can give you a sense of achievement which will provide you with the courage to face the larger ones.
2. The present is a gift.
Personal growth is about looking forward and moving into the future. The past is a closed door and time is a one-way route. It doesn't hurt to look back on fond memories, but do turn a blind eye to the nasty ones. In place of that, appreciate and learn from your past while you celebrate your future. It’s going to happen with or without you.
3. Let your hair down
There are things you can control, and even more things you can’t. It’s futile to stress yourself out over the need to control a situation. Life, like time, is a one-way route and it doesn’t wait for you to control a situation before it gets up and going. So have fun, and don't take things (especially yourself) too seriously. Few people enjoy the company of the gloomy, stiff and negative. So loosen up, enjoy yourself and laugh your hearts out.
4. Be firm.
Most people often find themselves in situations where they feel cornered and forced to select an option they would not otherwise choose. You have to be assertive about expressing your feelings, opinions and needs without compromising the rights of others. Always remember that it is your right to express your feelings and opinions… and that it is others' right to accept or reject them. Saying "No" to arbitrary requests is the first step to building your confidence. Not only does it save us the hassle of complying in silence, but it also prevents negative feelings of isolation, frustration and accusation.
Self esteem and confidence are crucial components in the personal growth of every individual. These 4 tips will help you rapidly build your confidence so practice and be constantly aware!
