February is famously known as the Love month but did you know it’s also recognized, in some circles, as National Self Esteem Month?
I can’t think of a better way to close out February than to discuss some ways to build self esteem because I can’t think of anyone harder on herself and more deserving of greater self esteem than - a Mom. 💜
“Self-esteem comes from being able to define the world in your own terms and refusing to abide by the judgment of others.” - Oprah Winfrey
Here are some powerful ways to boost your self esteem:
- STOP criticising yourself
- STOP negative & limiting self-talk/beliefs
- STOP allowing people’s negative opinion of you to define you. You are a work in progress. You can evolve and grow better every day.
- STOP comparing yourself
- STOP waiting around for others to celebrate you.
- STOP downplaying genuine compliments you receive from others
- START recognizing and celebrating your small and big wins.
- START showing yourself the kindness and empathy you would show to a friend.
- START practising gratitude
- START moving – 20 to 30 minutes of exercise per day is a love letter to yourself. Read that again.
- START doing more of what brings you joy in life.
- START spending more time with the people who bring you joy.
“Learning to love yourself is (one of) the greatest love (s) of all.” - Whitney Houston
