Having self-esteem is when you have a high regard for yourself, when you value who you are. Having self-esteem is when you have a firm belief and respect for yourself.

If you find yourself down a lot and have a hard time feeling good, you may deal with low self-esteem. Below, you will find 3 ways to build your self-esteem.

Give credit where credit is due: When you accomplish a particular task, give yourself credit for doing something successfully. It may be something as small as thanking someone for something. That is a success because you acknowledge something that someone has done for you. So, give yourself credit for the things you do. I bet if you really thought about it, you do a lot of successful things throughout the day. Start giving yourself credit for that.

Say good things to yourself: When you accidentally drop or spill something, what are the first words out of your mouth? If the words dummy, idiot, stupid, or any other negative words come out of your mouth, try not reacting to the situation. Take a deep breath and move on, knowing we all have accidents. The point here is not to react to the situation. Give yourself a break, think good thoughts about yourself, and don’t forget to laugh.
