5 essential attitudes to have more self-confidence and self-esteem in 2021

If there’s a gift you can give yourself this New Year is to strengthen your self esteem🇧🇷 It may seem simple, but it’s not easy to break labels, patterns and limiting beliefs.

According to the philosopher and writer Patrícia Cândido proposes in her book Manifesto da Self-Esteem, it is first necessary to discover what brings you self-confidence and this involves reflecting on your favorite characteristics.

In the book, Patrícia indicates some attitudes that help to deprogram insecurity. Check out how to empower yourself in 2021:

Practice self-admiration:

The proper verb is to practice, every day! Think about your trajectory and everything you’ve done and are proud of. Do this reflection as a daily exercise in admiration of the path traveled and the lessons learned.

have inspiring mentors

Listen to the right people, have mentors who are references in the area you want to know. Seek advice from someone who inspires you and helps you believe in yourself.

Be someone’s source of inspiration

From the moment your mentor inspires you, you can start inspiring others too. It is common for someone who is insecure to feel that there is nothing in him that can be a source of inspiration. But Patrícia defends that, many times, the little you know can be the turning point, the incentive that was missing in someone’s life.

Get rid of the comparison

Nothing is more devastating for self-esteem than frequent comparison with others. Comparison only serves to destroy your self-confidence and get in the way of your relationships. Remember that there is no one like you in the world.

Give thanks

Gratitude is a key feeling for self-confidence, self-esteem, power and prosperity. Do daily gratitude exercises. How about, at the end of each day, write down three reasons why you are grateful?
