How to Improve Self Esteem

You may repeat the same patterns over and over in your life and never realize that you end up in these situations because you don't feel that you are worthy of something better. For example, several of my clients continue to have relationship partners who do not treat them the way ought to be treated. These women are controlled and disrespected.

Once you discover that your self esteem may be lacking, it might seem like it is too late to change - but that is far from the truth.  Self esteem programs are never too late to start.

Low self esteem leads to negative thinking about yourself and negative thinking about others - to make yourself feel better than them and, therefore, make yourself feel better about yourself - the proverbial vicious cycle . The negative thinking feeds off of your lack of self worth and continues to throw more negatives at you, until you make the decision to let go of the negative and find the positive.

Here is one simple self esteem exercise. Start watching your thoughts. Simply observe them. When you notice that you have a negative thought about yourself, observe it and replace it with the truth about yourself. For example, you may think, "There I go again! I never get it right!"

1. Now you notice that you had that thought.
2. Try not to then follow that with a judgment about your negative thoughts,
3. Now replace it by saying to yourself: "Sometimes I don't get it right and sometimes I do."

Now you try it.
