We live in a time when some believe it to be a time marked by low self-esteem. And it is not surprising, since we are bombarded on social networks with the joys published by others, which make us judge our life and flaws. But the reality is that good self-esteem is the key to developing healthy in the world, feeling good in our skin, and achieving our goals. That’s why it’s good to know in advance if we have a self-love problem, so we can solve it and grow, transforming ourselves into better people.
With that in mind, the awesome.club prepared a list of symptoms that indicate low self-esteem. In addition, he also wants to share a guide with the steps you can take to elevate it.
Signs that we lack self-love
Five-step guide to working on self-love
1. Identify problematic situations that cause you distress and affect your self-esteem
It’s those events in which we don’t feel comfortable enough with ourselves that reinforce our negative ideas and push our self-esteem down. Identify them.
2. Pay attention to what you think about this situation
It can end up being easy to identify these circumstances, because they tend to generate negative thoughts.
3. Analyze negative and incorrect thoughts
If you tend to jump to negative conclusions, realize what you’re doing. For example, if your crush not replying to a message from you after an hour and you think “it’s been taking too long, so I must have said something wrong”, label this idea as negative and think that probably the reason must be something else.
Or maybe you are one of those people who confuse feelings with facts. If one day you get a bad grade in a subject and you feel like a failure, that doesn’t mean you really are.
4. Replace negative and incorrect thoughts with positive and correct thoughts
For example, if your “crush” doesn’t respond to your message right away, even if he saw it, it’s likely that he’s busy, working, studying or having dinner and wants to answer you when he’s calmer, not that you’ve been offensive.
And if one day you get a bad grade, it doesn’t mean you’re a failure, even if you feel that way. It’s likely that you didn’t study hard enough, forgot to review some point covered on the test, or even that you were having a bad day. Forgive yourself and aim to do something different so you don’t feel that way again.
5. Focus on all the positive things in your life and what you learned when your self-esteem wasn’t the best
We all have something to be thankful for: our bodies, our personalities, our family and our friends. So if a person doesn’t text you as quickly as you’d like, think about how precious your company is to other people. And if you don’t do so well on a test, be grateful for the opportunity to study. This gratitude will help you feel complete.
