DSelf-esteem(自尊心)is all about how much we feel valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others and how much we value, love, and accept ourselves. People with healthy self-esteem are able to do better in school and find it easier to make friends. They tend to have better relationships with others, feel happier, find it easier to deal with mistakes and failures, and are more likely to stick to something until they succeed. People with low self-esteem may feel as if no one will like them or accept them or that they cant do well in anything.The following ways may help you improve your self-esteem.Try to stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself. If youre used to focusing on your shortings, start thinking about positive aspects of yourself that outweigh them. It is good to aim high, but your goals for yourself should be within reach. Thats why you should set practical goals and never expect the impossible. Mistakes are part of learning, so view mistakes as learning opportunities. Accept that you make mistakes because everyone does. Also, you should recognize what you cant. If you realize that youre unhappy with something about yourself that you can change, start today. If its something you cant change (like your height), start to work toward loving yourself the way you are. Feeling like youre making a difference and that your help is valued can do wonders to improve your self-esteem. So dont hesitate to make a contribution. You can lend a hand to a classmate whos having trouble, help clean up our neighborhood, or volunteer to do some other things.Self-esteem plays a role in almost everything you do. Its never too late to build healthy, positive self-esteem. It takes some work, but its a skill youll have for life.32.
