Discovering Self to Find Esteem

Focus on the abilities you do have instead of the strengths you don't have. Liast as many of your strengths as you can think of. Post this list where you will be able to review it daily. Sometimes others can see our strengths more easily than we can. Ask some of your closest friends to list three or four things they like most about you. You may be surprised at the things they come up with that you entirely miss.

Think about a time when you felt really empowered. Next time you're ready to prospect, prepare by visualizing yourself at that special moment when you knew you were awesome! Feel the feeling, remember the moment, place yourself mentally and emotionally back in that time of personal success.

Place a full length mirrow in your office or near your desk. Practice getting comfortable with yourself. Look into the mirror and give yourself four sincere compliments every single day.

Pay attention to your internal communmication-your self talk. Are yout hinking positive, empowering thoughts that will build your self-esteem, or are you constantly putting yourself down?

Pay attention to how you interact with others. If you are negative with them, odds are you are being negative with yourself.

Immerse yourself in an environment of self confidence. Associate with successful, self confident people. Read books and listen to speeches by people who have a track record of helping others develop high self-esteem.

Keep sticking to your plan of action, focus on your many great qualities, and have patience with yourself. Continue to develop your skills daily and realize that transforming your life is a marathon, not a sprint!
