Low on confidence? Build up your self-esteem




Possessing reasonably high levels of self confidence never hurts your happiness and delight. 
Levels of your self esteem scale up and down pertaining to the situations in your life. We give you some tips so as to boost your morale and self esteem.
Step 1: Pen down your qualities
List seven most attractive qualities about your personality- traits that distinguish you from other people. You may pen them in a small diary and carry it everyday with you. You should read these qualities to yourself so that you are reminded of who you really are and what is it that makes you stand apart from the crowd. You may also enlist the successes of your life in the past. This would remind you of how you achieved those goals and how enormous was the feeling of achieving them. These snippets of experiences from the past will serve as a fuel to catalyse your self esteem for striving for bigger goals for the future.
Step 2: Do Not Undermine Yourself
You must keep a count of the number of times you speak against yourself. This essentially means keeping a track of the number of times you tell people that you are of no worth and of course you are undermining yourself too. This would help you get a wider perspective of your personality and know yourself better. You would then also be encouraged to reduce the exchange of dialogues about your negative traits between people. However, you should not apologize to anyone before or after a conversation as it takes away all your confidence from your inner being. Be assertive. Be strong.
Step 3: Acknowledge compliments
You must be in the habit of accepting and acknowledging compliments and greetings. You must feel good when someone greets you. These gestures are crucial in order to cultivate strong bonds and relationships and build up confidence levels. Don’t be embarrassed if someone compliments you. Never say anything which is self destructive or self-deprecating. You should, instead, look up to the person, give a pleasant smile and thank him or her.
Step 4: Exit your comfort zone
Never try to shun from situations or people that you don’t feel comfortable with. There might be some people who you would hesitate to approach. Avoiding them is not the solution. Instead, you should walk up to them with confidence and perform appropriate gestures before you strike a conversation. The more you throw yourself into such situations, the more your self esteem will go up as you take control of your fears and and not allow yourself to be petrified of your inhibitions.
Step 5: Affirmative Approach
Nothing is as effective as making optimistic affirmations daily to boost your self esteem. This is successful as you talk to your conscience in a sub conscious state where all your negativity resides. You must choose three statements, strong enough. Utter them everyday and you will notice that all your negative beliefs will turn into positive, headstrong attitudes. “I am confident” is an affirmation that you should make daily if you are low on confidence levels. Saying out these affirmations while looking at yourself in the mirror also helps to a great extent.
Step 6: Pamper Yourself
You should be concerned about levels of your self esteem and confidence but don’t panic. Take time out to pamper yourself. Go out with friends and family. Eat well. Avoid Alcohol. Workout and exercise regularly. Have a strict sleep routine and let your body take adequate rest. This would help you recognize your worth and that you deserve to be looked after.

true love

True love means the fight has disappeared, the two have become one. Their bodies exist separately but their being has mingled. The boundaries are lost, there is no division. There is no ‘I’ and no ‘thou’, no one exists.

Positive Alternatives



Rather than being annoyed, be amused.
Instead of getting angry, become curious.
In place of envy, feel admiration.
In place of worry, take action.
In place of doubt, have faith.
Negative energy is just positive energy
that’s flowing in the opposite direction.


There’s no need to fight or run away from that negative energy.
All you need to do is change its direction.
The more negative you are, the more positive you can be.
An automobile that can travel 70 miles per hour to the east can also travel just as fast when going west.
But first, someone must turn it around.

When you sense yourself becoming negative,
stop and consider what it would mean to apply
that negative energy in the opposite direction.
Turn your sadness into caring.
Transform your complaints into useful suggestions.
Change your bitterness into determination.
The energy is already there.
All you need to do is change its direction.

Life

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

It's your choice

Once you’ve started seeing the beauty of life, 
ugliness starts disappearing. 
If you start looking at life with joy, 
sadness starts disappearing. 
You cannot have heaven and hell together, 
you can have only one. 
It is your choice.

source of joy and sorrow


When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

ungrateful me


I have learned silence from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

impact of someone


Some people come into our lives,
Leave footprints in our hearts,
And we are never ever the same.

love is all i need

I don't want to live-- I want to love first, And live incidentally

The Final Analysis


People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered 
Forgive them anyway


If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
 Be kind anyway.


If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; 
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; 
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway. 

people you meet in life

In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again, but you do...
