I have been working with my 13 year old daughter to build and enhance her self esteem, when I realized it is the same thing we should all being telling ourselves. When it comes to health here are a few words of wisdom to live by:
1. Understand the power of your attitude toward yourself and views about yourself.
· celebrate the fact that you are a valuable person
2. Learn to overcome a fear of self-love
· Healthy self love is about being your own best friend
· Self-worth requires that you learn to listen to and rely upon your own feelings and not automatically respond to the feelings of other people.
4. Analyze yourself
· What are my strengths? Stop focusing on your weaknesses; you've probably done that long enough.
5. Stop making your self-worth conditional on other people
· Try not to live up to an image of what you think others want you to be, you lose self-worth.
6. Tell yourself that you matter
· Tell yourself you're special, wonderful, lovable, and loved.
7. Prove to yourself that you matter.
· Responsibility is about owning up to the fact that you are in control of your attitude, your reactions, and your sense of worth.
8. Heed opportunities
· My friend Anna is a good example of this, she signed up for a half marathon. Heeding the opportunity and determination in her quest to be better.
9. Value yourself regardless of your job and earnings
· In societies that tend to value people by what they do rather than by who they are, there is a great risk of undervaluing your self-worth because it's tied up in earnings and job prestige. If you ever find yourself replying "Oh I'm just a ..."
10. Value your time.
· spending time with your family, or ensuring that your own life is running smoothly
11. Follow through
· it will take a lot of courage to make the changes needed and there will be some people who find the new, more assertive you a little confronting.
