Self-Esteem is an important factor when making the journey to overcome social anxiety. This is how you view yourself. Many of us were raised by over critical parents, or abusive parents. Just as many experienced rejection or neglect growing up.
No matter what your circumstance is, no matter how old you are now, it is time to build your self-esteem. This is crucial to overcoming social anxiety.
You must believe in yourself and respect yourself. This must come from within. We can accomplish this by:
- Taking care of ourselves. Basic needs of taking care of ourselves is very important. Doing that little extra something. Taking a bubble bath, getting a message, or whatever you would like; just pamper yourself.
- Surround yourself with support. Whether it be family, friends, or co-workers. Weed out the “negative nannies” you don't need them in your life right now.
- Replace your negative thoughts about yourself with positive ones. There are earlier posts on this subject because it is very important.
You are just as important as the next person. You have the right to:
- make mistakes and not have to be perfect
- live by your own values and standards
- be yourself
- be treated with respect
- be happy!
Live it and believe it!
Until next time....
