    Set smaller goals. I don't mean that you should not reach for the stars, however, I do know that to get to the stars you have to first get into the atmosphere. Feeling good about yourself is a constant process. Confidence does not just happen overnight. When you look at your life goals consider breaking them up into smaller, stepping stones to the end result. This way you can have a constant flow of positive reinforcement as you achieve the steps along the journey of life.

    Think positive. It's the oldest trick in the book. If you know how to control your mind, then things will be easier for you. Why? Because positive thinking might really do wonders. Aside from that, once you think positively, you will realize that you'll actually feel good about yourself, and that you will feel good about what's going on around you. And, even if things go wrong, you'd know that these are just challenges and that you can rise above them.

    Appearance is everything. When you look good you feel good. Simple. If you are walking around looking like you just got out of a rubbish bin, you probably won't be too confident about yourself. We all know how you feel when you walk out of the hairdresser, you walk a bit taller, you walk with purpose. So look after yourself and dress your best and you will feel your best. You know your best features to show them off!

    This book will help you to build your self esteem.  

    Improving yourself takes time and effort. You have to be willing to make the changes and be committed to taking action rather than just reading about them.   

    The next step is to follow the strategies and tips detailed in this book and change your life.

      Leadership - Dr. Michael Ericsson

      Chapter 1 –  How to Develop Your Self-Esteem

      Psychologists describe self-esteem as the overall perspective of a person on his or her value. It is one’s view of the self and one’s attitude towards it. Do you feel worthy? Do you feel able? Are you proud of yourself? Are you inspired? Do you know yourself, and are you proud of that? Only you can decide.

      If you constantly doubt your self-worth and capabilities, if you have no trust in your qualifications and skills and ultimately no pride in yourself, and if you find yourself feeling worthless, then you have issues with self-esteem, and you need to address that before it goes out of hand.

      What does a low self-esteem do?

      1. Poor health as a result of eating disorders, and low energy levels because you are so busy pleasing everybody but yourself.

      2. Missed career opportunities as a result of the echo in your mind that says you cannot do it. Low self-esteem makes you feel inappropriate and unworthy hence hinders you from taking risks and creating something.

      3. Sexual problems are closely related to self-esteem issues because it is all about an individual’s problem with his or her image. Low self-esteem leads to low sex drive and addictions. People seek help for these only to discover that there existed deeper rooted issues that manifested themselves as sexual addiction or sexual problems.

      4. Low self-esteem harms your emotions because you find yourself unable to put your feelings to the fore. It hinders you from accepting your weaknesses and sharing intimacy on many levels with a partner. You find yourself being either too shy and come across as aloof or too bullish when all you needed was a shoulder to lean on.

      The first step to developing your self-esteem is by challenging his messages of criticism to you. Replace them with opposite and positive messages. An example of a negative inner voice is when you are ‘told’ These people will never like me, I am too short and inappropriate, or They think I am spoilt and stuck up. Acknowledge your strengths and say I am the best there can ever be, I am beautiful, or I have a kind heart for helping people.

      Be good to yourself

      If you know that you would give a shoulder to a friend who is in a hard time, then you should do the same for yourself. You should be the first person to receive that support and commiseration. Give yourself that support; be a fellow with yourself and help ‘you.’ If you can give, then you should allow yourself to receive - especially during hard times. Be good and forgive yourself when something does not go as planned. Be gentle and support yourself instead of being critical when you fail, and most of all accept that things do not always turn out as expected.

      Understand and put thought in all that you do

      Make informed decisions, and avoid impulsiveness. If you do not live mindfully, your brain freezes, it is no longer able to send meaningful messages to you because you keep doing the opposite. For example, stop lying about things that you may not have or are not able to do. Stop lying to yourself that he or she loves you and that he or she will come around. Mixed signals will kill your mind. You are only making room for mental dysfunction. Do not trick your mind anymore into believing things that are not true and hence living a lie. Accept things the way they are; it is a daily walk.

      Be responsible for you

      Begin to realize that no one will come to make you feel better. To each one, life is given, and we have our own lives to live. You are therefore responsible for your own happiness. You can sit around and be gloomy about it all day, all year, and watch your life waste way, or you can take a stand and own your life and happiness.

      Do not listen to negativity from people

      You alone can make your life heaven or hell. Isn’t it great that the power to do all these lies in your hands? Wake up and smell the coffee because your time for living for other people is over.

      Seek for a mentor

      If the source of your self-esteem comes from school, seek the help of your teachers. There are also other professionals in school that should help you with school issues. If you are being bullied or teased, for example, a teacher is a person trained to be an all-rounded instructor so he can help you.

      Live with a Purpose

      Living with purpose is not waiting upon chance to guide your life. It is refusing to be at the mercy of chance. It is being the initiator of your own course, the builder of your own life. Living without a purpose is waiting upon things to happen, for things to be handed down without initiative, for being reactive and drifting along.

      When you begin to realize the potential you have and start to plan your life, your self-esteem is nurtured. You become a wholesome individual day by day. Ask yourself: what is it I am going to achieve? How? Are my means appropriate? Is there new information I need to consider? Living purposefully requires you to be conscious of what you do while rethinking purposes.

      Living purposefully is a mark of success for people who enjoy control over their lives and are successful. Simply put, success in life requires that we live purposefully, knowing where we are going.

      Chapter 2 - How to Invest in Yourself

      The most profitable investment you can ever make is one that you make in yourself. Self-investment can yield instant pay-off and greater future returns. If you want to become more productive, then you have to prioritize your growth both personally and professionally. It is the key to a more successful and satisfying life.

      Read to feed your brain

      One of the things all successful people have in common is the passion for reading books. Read not just for entertainment. Take up reading as a habit. Charles William Eliot once said, Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors and the most patient of teachers.

      Read materials that increase your knowledge of the world and of yourself. Read books that can teach you a new set of skills and help you to become a better version of yourself. Read books that challenge you and motivate you to step it up.

      Invest in personal development courses

      The brain works like a muscle. It gets much stronger when you use and exercise it. On the other hand, it becomes weaker if you do nothing with it. Engage in activities that challenge you. Try out something new. These things allow you to stretch your skillset to ways you have never reached before.

      Enroll in a public speaking class. Instead of running, try archery, dancing or surfing. Improve your education in every possible way you can. New activities challenge you to discover new things that will otherwise remain hidden and untapped.

      Explore your creativity

      Every person has a gift of creativity. For some people, it is quite obvious but for others, it has to be unearthed. Tap into your creative side. It could hold the key to unlocking your highest potential.

      Creativity is not just about creating beautiful things. Creativity can help you approach problems in different ways and find solutions outside the box. Creativity forces us to use other parts of our brain that may be untapped but are equally crucial for our individual growth.

      In truth, creativity comes in many forms. It is not just exclusive for musicians, writers or painters. In essence, creativity is about exploring new things.

      Write something. Cook or make your own clothes. Take pictures of a beautiful landscape. Pick something you have never dared try before. Explore it fully and you may be surprised at the things it can help you discover.

      Find a mentor

      Is there a specific set of skills you want to develop? In addition to attending extra courses, you can also get a mentor. Think of anyone who succeeded in that area. Reach out to him. A mentor can teach you the tricks of the trade. More importantly, a mentor can serve as an inspiration and a source of great connections.

      Successful people do not stop being students. Rather, they continue to push themselves outside their comfort zone.

      These people are life-long learners. They know it is all part of growing as an individual. In the words of Albert Einstein, Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.

      Have a balanced life

      Leading a successful career does not require you to spend all your time on the job. Plenty of people think they have to sacrifice everything else to create their careers. The truth is a balanced life is essential in productivity. You do not necessarily have to choose between your personal and professional life. The key to happiness is to find a balance.

      Switch off

      Learn to disconnect from the rest of the world so that wherever you are, you are completely present. Put your phone away. Turn off your computer. Take a real break and not think about work. Allow your brain to take a rest from all that. Interact with your family and friends. Be there with them completely. It is going to be a real challenge to disconnect from the rest of the world, but it is totally worth it.

      Simplify

      You have to realize that you do not need a lot. Having more than you can handle will only cause you a great deal of stress. Avoid saying yes to everything or getting your hands on every little thing you can take. Learn to simplify and take only
