Making Life Work – January 12

      The world wants to tell you who you are, but don’t let it. Always be yourself because it’s greater than acting like someone you’re not. Plus being yourself shows that you are somebody people can rely on.

      Don’t try to fit in with everybody when you were born to be yourself. We are all unique; if we were all the same it would be a lame world. We can all stand out if we are our true selves. 

      It’s hard to be yourself in today’s world; some ways you can boost your self-esteem is positive self-talk, complimenting others and exercise. These all boost your self-esteem because when you exercise it increases motivation; it helps you practice setting goals; and it also helps you build confidence.

      Plus setting goals is a great way to boost your self-esteem too, since you’re like “yeah, I got this.” Positive self-talk can help your self-esteem since the voice that tells you things is more powerful than you think and being kind to others will not only boost their mood, but it will also make you feel good about yourself. 

      If you spend time doing the things that you enjoy then it will make you think more positively. Your self-worth is determined by you; don’t depend on someone else telling you who you are. In order to build your own self-esteem you have to look at the positives in life. That may be hard, but even the littlest things in life count.

      Another way we can boost our self-esteem is to surround ourselves in a supportive squad and stay with the people that make us feel good about ourselves. We just have to avoid the people that are going to trigger our negative thinking because we all have to remember that nobody is perfect. We all make our own mistakes. But we can’t beat ourselves up because of our mistakes.

      Instead we can think positively; not compare ourselves to others; and think of mistakes as learning opportunities. For example, let’s say that you fail a test and your friend gets almost 100 percent. Don’t make comparisons, but study harder next time.

                Having a high self-esteem in a tough world can make it so that whatever you go through, you can still stand. But that doesn’t mean you become rude or be someone you’re not. Instead it means that you’re confident in yourself, you accept the mistakes you make and you keep being yourself.
