LAST DAY’S LEARNING
A / V TIME
ENHANCING SELF ESTEEMStop Comparing : Stop comparing yourself with other people. There
will always be some people who have more than you and some who
have less. If you play the comparison game, you'll run into too many
"opponents" you can't defeat
Stop putting yourself down. You can't develop high self-esteem if
you repeat negative phrases about yourself and your abilities.
Whether speaking about your appearances, your career, your
relationships, your financial situation, or any other aspects of your
life, avoid self-deprecating comments.
Accept all compliments with "thank you." Ever received a
compliment and replied," Oh, it was nothing." When you reject a
compliment, the message you give yourself is that you are not
worthy of praise. Respond to all compliments with a simple Thank
You."
Use affirmations to enhance your self-esteem. Write out a
statement such as "I like and accept my self." or "I am valuable, lovable
person and deserve the best in life." Carry the card with you. Repeat the
statement several times during the day, especially at night before going
to bed and after getting up in the morning. Whenever you say the
affirmation, allow yourself to experience positive feelings about your
statement
Take advantage of workshops, books and cassette tape
programs on self-esteem. Whatever material you allow to dominate
mind will eventually take root and affect your behavior. If you watch
negative television programs or read newspaper reports of murders and
business rip off; you will grow cynical and pessimistic. Similarly, if you
read books or listen to programs, that are positive in nature, you will
take on these characteristics.
Associate with positive, supportive people. When you are
surrounded by negative people who constantly put you and your ideas
down, your self-esteem is lowered. On the other hand, when you are
accepted and encouraged, you feel better about yourself in the best
possible environment to raise your self-esteem
Make a list of your past successes. This doesn't necessarily have to
consist of monumental accomplishments. It can include your "minor
victories," like learning to skate, graduating from high school, receiving
an award or promotion, reaching a business goal, etc. Read this list often.
While reviewing it, close your eyes and recreate the feelings of
satisfaction and joy you experienced when you first attained each
success.
Make a list of your positive qualities. Are you honest? Unselfish?
Helpful? Creative? Be generous with yourself and write down at least 20
positive qualities. Again, it's important to review this list often. Most
people dwell on their inadequacies and then wonder why their life isn't
working out. Start focusing on your positive traits and you'll stand a
much better chance of achieving what you wish to achieve.
Start giving more. I'm not talking about money. Rather, I mean that
you must begin to give more of yourself to those around your. When you
do things for others, you are making a positive contribution and you
begin to feel more valuable, which, in turn, lifts your spirits and raises
your own self-esteem
Get involved in work and activities you love. It's hard to feel
good about yourself if your days are spent in work you despise. Self-
esteem flourishes when you are engaged in work and activities that
you enjoy and make you feel valuable. Even if you can't explore
alternative career options at the present time, you can still devote
leisure time to hobbies and activities, which you find stimulating and
enjoyable.
Be true to yourself. Live your own life - not the life others have
decided is best for you. You'll never gain your own respect and feel
good about yourself if you aren't leading the life you want to lead. If
you're making decisions based on getting approval from friends and
relatives, you aren't being true to yourself and your self-esteem is
lowered
Take action! You won't develop high self-esteem if you sit on the
sidelines and back away from challenges. When you take action -
regardless of the ensuing result - you feel better about yourself. When
you fail to move forward because of fear and anxiety, you'll be frustrated
and unhappy - and you will undoubtedly deal a damaging blow to your
self-esteem.
BUILDING CONFIDENCE AND SHADING SHYNESS
** Face your problems
** Build up your self confidence so you can
perform better in situations and progress in
your everyday life.
“GURUMANTRA”
Work on your conversational skills : Improving your
conversational skills can help you feel more comfortable and
confident in any social situation which will lead to larger confidence
overall. If you practice maintaining eye contact and being a good
listener, you will also give off a more confident aura and you can
enjoy the benefits of being treated as a confident person.
Set goals : As with anything you want to achieve, building
confidence will be easier if you set specific goals. Whether you want
to be confident enough to be president of an organization or simply
give a presentation at the next department meeting, you can then
create an action plan for achieving this goal.
Get involved : When you become involved in an organization, project
or committee, the new experiences, improved skills and chances for
leadership and personal development can help improve confidence.
Think about joining a professional organization, signing up for a
committee at work or volunteering your time at a worthwhile
organization.
Use positive imagery and self-talk : The road to self-confidence is
primarily a mental exercise. Visualizing yourself as a confident person
is one way to create a confident mentality. Positive affirmations are
another way of building confidence. Tell yourself that you are a
confident person and don't give negative thoughts room to grow.
Take small steps : Going along with the idea of setting goals, if you're
not feeling confident, you will be much more likely to achieve your
desired level of confidence by taking small steps. Tell yourself that you
will smile and shake hands with everyone you meet today or promise
that you will offer your opinion on an issue at the next board meeting.
This is much more likely to lead to success and start you on the path to
confidence than jumping straight to a more daunting task like giving the
keynote speech at a national conference.
Practice a confident attitude : You may have heard this sentiment
expressed as, "fake it 'til you make it." The truth is that you can gain
confidence by acting like a confident person. Nobody needs to know that
you're cringing underneath your confident façade. Eventually you'll no
longer need to pretend. The success you experience from acting
confident and the confident habits you've developed will lead to true
confidence.
Try new things : New experiences can give you confidence by helping
you grow as a person. You don't have to take up skydiving or anything
drastic like that. Starting a new hobby or taking a class is more likely to
help you develop lasting skills anyway.
Be happy with yourself : Having an essentially positive attitude toward
yourself is key to gaining confidence. You must be happy with the person
you are, from your personality to your appearance, before you can truly
be confident.
