Combat negative self image - the mirror exercise

Improving self-esteem takes time and effort, but it's definitely achievable. Here are some strategies to help combat negative self-esteem:

Challenge Negative Thoughts: Pay attention to your inner dialogue. When negative thoughts arise, question their validity. Replace them with more balanced or positive statements.

Practice Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, especially during tough times. Remember that everyone makes mistakes.

Set Realistic Goals: Break larger goals into smaller, achievable steps. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small.

Focus on Strengths: Make a list of your positive qualities and achievements. Reflect on these regularly to remind yourself of what you bring to the table.

Surround Yourself with Positivity: Spend time with supportive people who uplift you. Limit time with those who bring negativity into your life.

Engage in Activities You Enjoy: Doing things you love can boost your mood and remind you of your skills and interests.

Practice Gratitude: Keep a gratitude journal where you write down things you’re thankful for. This can help shift your focus from what’s lacking to what’s positive.

Seek Professional Help: If negative self-esteem is significantly impacting your life, consider talking to a therapist or counselor. They can provide guidance and support.

Limit Social Media Use: Social media can exacerbate negative feelings. Take breaks or curate your feed to follow positive, inspiring content.

Engage in Self-Care: Prioritize your physical and emotional well-being. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep can all contribute to improved self-esteem.

Remember, it’s a journey, and progress may be gradual. Be patient with yourself!
