Self esteem p.3

1. Take at least ten minutes a day to quietly think about your day. Sitting
quietly, driving the car without the radio on or going for a walk are good ways
to sneak in some time to reflect on your day. Enjoy your own company. Ask
yourself questions about things that you think are important and then try #2.

2. Listen to Your Inner Voice. Often we know the right answer, but we don't
trust ourselves. Try listening for small things and see what happens.

3. Keep a "Self Esteem Journal". Every day, write down the nice things you do
or compliments people say to you.

4. Recall, on a regular basis, something that you did that you are proud of.
Think about it and savor it each day. Have you heard the saying " You are
what you eat"? The same thing applies to what you think about yourself and
your self-esteem. The thoughts that you feed yourself on a regular basis
strongly influence your self-esteem.

I want to emphasize that these suggestions do no take the place of therapy,
but they do give you a place to start.

Enjoy your journey to the discovery of finding a person that you are proud of -
yourself
