Empowering Yourself: A Guide to Boosting Self-Esteem

Improving self-esteem is a gradual process that involves changing your mindset, behaviors, and how you perceive yourself. Here are some practical steps to consider strengthening yourself and your self-esteem.

1. Stop allowing your emotions to dominate you. Don't let your emotions dictate how you feel. Often, our emotions can work against us and hinder what God is doing in our lives. Their words will stir our emotions more than God's word and wisdom.

2. Write a list of things you admire about yourself. Focus on the good things you can do. Be honest. You are good at something. Being kinder to yourself is important. Be your own best cheerleader. These attributes not only enhance my self-esteem but also contribute to my overall well-being and the impact I have on the world around me.

3. Stop being a people pleaser.

Other people do not always have your best interests at heart, and they want things done their way. Don't let people control and force you to do what they want. Believe in yourself and who you are. Are you perfect? No, but you do have value. You don't have to be part of the crowd to have worth. You are already worthy.

4. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.

The only way you can grow is to set outside your comfort zone. The only way to learn new things is to be bold and take a chance. Trust God to lead you and be brave. You can do more than you imagine if you only take the first step.

5. Stop comparing yourself to others.

You are unique. God's grace is your measurement. Real success is doing God's will for your life. You are called to live your best life, not others. Be a trailblazer. Focus on your path and let your journey inspire you to be the best version of yourself.

6. Forgive yourself for your past thoughts of yourself.

Forgive the harsh thought you have had about yourself. Treat yourself with respect, and others will do the same. Care for yourself. You are worth it.

7. Set boundaries in your relationships.

Don't allow disrespect in your life. We train people on how to treat us. Don't hang around with mean people.

8. Let go of negative people.

Ask God to bring the right people into your life to help you. I confess this daily."I attract the wisest people into my life, and they inspire and instruct me to reach new levels of abundance."

I have some amazing people in my work that blesses me in many ways.

These are a few samples of how to help yourself. I encourage you to look at this list and fight for yourself. You are strong and can do it.
