About this episode
In a world full of magazine covers telling us our abs should be flat and our booties should be round, how are we supposed to accept ourselves the way we are? Though it can feel defeating, there are ways you can improve your self-esteem TODAY! Tip or Trick: Find an exercise routine you enjoy that is effective AND, ideally, a supportive community to help you along the way! Don't sign up for something just because your friend did - if you hate running, Orange Theory probably isn't goin to be your cup of tea so find something YOU enjoy doing. This does not mean you will want to go every day or be motivated - but you need to find something you can do, enjoy at least a little bit and progress towards your goals! Alright - onto improving self-esteem and building confidence! The term self - esteem is used to describe a person's overall sense of self -worth or personal value. The most important thing to understand is that EVERYONE, literally EVERYONE struggles with this at some point in time or another! It is human nature to compare ourselves to others so this is something you need to continuously work on! There isn't a magic 'fix' or a cure - it is work that needs to be done daily. 10 Ways To Improve Self-Esteem Unfollow anyone that makes you feel inferior or triggers you! Focus on what you can control and let go of things you can't. Dress ‘as if’ you are where you want to be. Put away the baggy T shirts and put on that blazer! Walk with your head held high and confidence, you have to start ACTING and the emotions will follow! Self care is necessary - INVEST in yourself! Control your support system - Evaluate who you surround yourself with and distance yourself from those that bring you down or make you feel bad. Treat yourself as you do others - would you talk to your girlfriend the way you talk to yourself? Probably not. Set small, easy goals and crush them! Reframe your thoughts, you are the only one that can make the shift! Make a list of triggers - what is within your control? What is not in your control? Who is triggering you? What emotions/thoughts are you having? What you resist you become - fighting yourself and loathing your body only stimulates more neurochemicals to keep you stuck in the cycle. The good news is you can change! How? Make the decision to shift your thinking and emotions will follow! It is something MANY people struggle with and work needs to be done daily.
