As you wander through your life, you may come up against many relationships, both professional and personal, that have an important impact on you.
The way you process other people’s behavior towards you makes you who you are today. This affects how you build your self-esteem, as well as how you build your self-confidence and self-worth.
These interactions are an important part of how you view yourself.
Have you ever had someone put you down, bully you, or strip you of your self-worth? They may have been a past partner, friend, parent, guardian, boss, or coworker.
People who have a low opinion of themselves will often be the first to put others down. Although you cannot control other people’s behavior toward you, you can control how you respond to them.
This is the most resourceful way to maintain a sense of personal power. In order to build up our self-esteem, the best starting point is to work on the most important relationship of all — the relationship you have with “self.”
Here’s a list of 21 self esteem-boosting tips you can introduce into your day. If you can implement at least three to five of these daily, you’ll begin to feel a shift in your mood and build your confidence over time.
