 Do you feel like you are at the age of negativity? Feeling like your life no longer matters. This is low self-esteem. Learn how to increase it here.



It is very important to think of yourself and think the best out of yourself. This is all about self-esteem. No one will appreciate you if you don’t value yourself. Self-care should be at the top of you and everything is when you will get to see your self-esteem raising and gaining confidence. 


Self-esteem is very important to every individual. It is self-esteem that determines the kind of person you are going to be before anyone. Our behaviors and character traits that are portrayed out are all because of self-esteem.

For every individual, self-esteem is needed for better results around everything that surrounds such a person. It can either upgrade your status or it can drop it drastically. 


It is recommended that it should be increased for better personal and general achievements. Let us think together. Take this situation, you don’t believe in yourself, you don’t trust your guts, you don’t believe if you can make any step in your life that is worth it. You just feel so down before anyone and you always put yourself low before anyone, simply because you feel you are not worth yourself.



When you are in such a situation, will you manage to get through anything? Will you be able to stand for your rights? Will you be able to fight for anything that is yours? Now we all get it, why we need to care for our self-esteem. 


If you have lost it you have actually lost yourself. How will get yourself back? Getting your esteem back and increasing it, it the talk of the day, I’m going to tell you how you can increase your self-esteem. I’m going to give you 5 ways on how you can increase it.


These are the 5 great ways of increasing your self-esteem:-

1. Be Optimistic.



Positivity is what is required for everyone to increase his/her self-esteem. Positive vibes do not only make you joyous and happy with the kind of lifestyle you are living in but also make you gain your self-esteem to the top. 


The moment when you believe that everything will be well, you believe that nothing can stand before you because you will always put it down. You trust that you will always be successful in anything you won't do, then this will be your first step to increasing your self-esteem.


When it is all in your mind that you can make it through even in your dark sides, dark edges, then nothing can stop you from believing that you are worth yourself. This feeling, this trait of you looking at the sunny side of life, even if you are on the worst side, will increase your self-esteem and make you raise high before anyone and you will develop a higher opinion of yourself, thus being able to handle any issue before you without any problem. When you reach such a juncture then nothing can stop you from achieving the best of yourself.



 No matter what people will talk about you, no matter what people will think about you, but you will be on a safer side of getting what is best for you by being optimistic since it makes you see the best out of yourself than a failure. 


In this way, you will never feel insecure about your own capabilities and power to handle anything in your life. You will be able to stand before anyone at any time and give them a reason for what you think certain things will work out. This will increase your self-esteem to a better point and a better you!

2. Accepts Compliments.



Accepting compliments from people around you can be a better push for your self-esteem. Compliments mostly come out from the people who see the best out of you. They compliment you because they see your value and worth. 


They compliment you because they have seen the marvelous job you have been doing and the results you have been producing. Compliments can increase your self-esteem if you take them positively. What I mean by taking them positively, is that you appreciate the tribute and feel good about it.


We have individuals who when are praised for the work they have done they feel that the people are saying it out in form of an Irony. They don’t believe that they are worth the compliment they get. 


They feel they don’t deserve such compliments because they feel insure about their own capabilities. This is something for you, take it and you will be at your better self. When someone compliments you in, either way, accept the compliment and take it positively. It doesn’t matter who is giving you such a compliment.



Accept your strength, that compliment only came out as an outcome of what you managed to get out of your power. No one will honor you for the work you never did. They all appreciate your efforts and hard work that is why they compliment you. 


Accept these compliments hold onto them, and appreciate every honor you get from them because this is what raises you above the others. This will increase your self-esteem and you will find the better you.

3. Appreciate Yourself.



This is the essence of self-esteem. If you want to increase yourself or you want to build it then you should be able to appreciate the person you are. You will never be able to stand before anyone if you cannot trust yourself. 


Some things that happen in our lives or who we are can never change. You have to appreciate what happened to you and move on with your life. We all make mistakes and we cannot change that. Do not go to an extent of hating your own being because of the little mistakes that happen some years ago. 


We can’t control what happened in our past but we can learn from it. Don’t make your life worst because of what you did some decades back. You cannot erase that in your history. Be grateful for your well-being and move on with your life.



Doing this will help you to increase your self-esteem. You will be able to stand before anyone and face him/her not caring about what your past beholds. This is because you were not planted in your past, but it is since you are the person who is right now. 


This will not only improve your it but also make you have a firm stand in your life. A firm stand is what everyone needs to have in this life. This is what will differentiate you from other people.



You have to know that you cannot change your body, your race, your origin, and your tribe. You just have to appreciate the way you are. If you have disabilities, know that that is not an inability. You can do much with your life. 


Don’t kill yourself or degrade because of the person you are. You are not ugly; you are not the worst individual. You are better than you think you are. Having this thought in your mind you will be able to increase your self-esteem at a go.


4.  Value Your Progress.


The things we do also have a great impact on our self-esteem. We have to value the progress of events and the achievements we make in our lives. No matter how little is the achievement you make in your life you have to appreciate it. Appreciate the energy you put forward until it happened. Nothing would have worked out without the efforts you made.


If you fail in anything it doesn’t mean you will never succeed. Do not take yourself as a failure, but take yourself as a winner. It takes courage for anyone to walk through these activities you have been doing. So, celebrate every little achievement you make in your life. This will increase it. 


If you will turn down your own achievements and efforts, then know that you will be burying your self-esteem. Doing this, won’t make it any better for you. It will only bring pain to you and make you lose what you even never thought you would.



Appreciating your own effort and the things you have achieved will make you increase your self-esteem. You will be able to value any progress you make, thus enhancing your own power. This is all that is needed for one to make a step in his/her life.  


5.  Seek Knowledge.

If you want to increase your self-esteem then you have to learn. It is very hard for anyone to identify what self-esteem is if he/she never had an idea of what self-esteem is. For someone to increase it, then one must be able to know ways in which he can increase it. one must know which factors portray self-esteem. One must know how to deal with all the problems that his/her self-esteem is facing. All this cannot be achieved by an ignorant person.

All this information concerning self-esteem is supposed to be learned so that one will be able to know how to deal with it. Without this knowledge, you will never know how to handle your self-esteem. It is almost impossible for you to handle something that you have no knowledge of. For you to handle anything in your life you have to know the basics of such a thing.


You have to know the root of it. This is the main reason why I have included seeking knowledge as one way to increase your self-esteem.


Something else important that I would recommend, seeking knowledge of anything is everyone’s responsibility. You will never be able to make your life better without seeking knowledge. In this century people depend on the certificates that one has achieved in educational institutions. Apart from getting employment because of the certificates you hold but is also significant for self-honor and dignity.


Who do you think would like to sit down and listen to someone without knowledge of what he/she is talking about? People would prefer to listen to knowledgeable people. At the moment you attain knowledge and wisdom, your self-esteem will increase. 


This is all because the knowledge you have empowered you and keep you at higher standards. This will obviously increase your self-esteem since you believe you have knowledge that is profitable to people. The knowledge that you have will increase your self-esteem because it will raise your status, honor, and dignity, and when all these are above your name, then it is obvious that your self-esteem will increase.
