Taking time out now to become more self-aware is an investment into your great future. You will know how difficult it is to really know another person even after many years. Even so there will still be unexplored areas of his or her personality.
All of us have the same potential for unexplored areas. How much do you know yourself?. Taking your life so far, do you think all the years spent being yourself are enough to know your inner thoughts, fears, dreams, aspirations and even potential reactions to certain situations?. Do you like what you see when you think about yourself?. Do you believe you are worthy of respect?
This is the foundation of your self-esteem. Esteem is how we value people, places, situations and ourselves It is the emotional and personal value you place on them. However, you are the most important person to value. Once you lose sight of your self-esteem you will not value other people and events. This must mean that you are able to honestly know yourself, your strengths and weaknesses while keeping your self-esteem high
Self-acceptance is your first step in developing self-esteem. One useful way for you to do this is to list all of your personality traits, plan some quiet time for you to reflect on them. Always focus on the positive list first to keep your mind on them in case of any self-doubt. You will gain self-esteem by concentrating on things you can change not on things you cannot. Taking the first step to self-improvement takes courage but think carefully about what is the first step. Then take it.
For example, if you have a bad temper, seek help in controlling it. It will be amazing how you will feel when you overcome just this one area of challenge. You will not get it right first time but each step you take will gradually build your self-esteem and confidence, truly.
If you listed how tall you are on your negative list, accept that you are as tall as you will be and that will not change and stop dwelling on it. Also if you have listed personal behavioural weaknesses like 'I lack charisma', accept that this is not required for high self-esteem and is probably misunderstood anyway.
Naturally you want what you don't have but what you have is fantastic and there are many people who envy you for that. No one may be perfect but any one is capable of turning every negative into positive. This will help you raise your self-esteem which will surely be reflected outwardly and will have a positive influence on how people regard you. Self-esteem is the greatest gift you can give yourself, who will value you higher than you value yourself. NO ONE!
