self esteem and consequently, YOURSELF.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>Be determined to improve your self esteem and you are on your way to great achievement. Do not let your low self esteem ruin your life. The way you think about yourself determines how you interact with others.</p>
<p><strong>Here are some examples of common &#8220;low self esteem&#8221; thoughts and feelings&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>1. Nothing you do seems to go right<br />
2. You believe that most people do not like you.<br />
3. You believe that you are not attractive.<br />
4. You choose something and it turns out to be the worst one.<br />
5. You are afraid to converse with others for fear that what you say might not make sense.<br />
6. You feel swallowed up in a whirlpool of frustration.</p>

<p><strong><em>So what is really wrong with you?</em> </strong>Your thoughts, actually.</p>
<p>Stop thinking that the world is closing in on you. Get determined to achieve what you desire. Stop blaming other people for your misfortunes. The world is not your problem, YOU are your own problem.</p>
<p>From this moment on, begin the process of improving your self esteem. Think the right way and be determined to win, and win you will. Just remember that success never comes easily and that is why determination is it&#8217;s counterpart.</p>
<p>Often, one gets to the brink of success and with just a little disappointment or setback, they lose heart and give up too easily and too soon. A surefire candidate for improving low self esteem. Who knows what great things might have been achieved if only they had persevered.</p>
<p>Without having a high self esteem, your life could be rather boring. Change your thinking and begin to see yourself on top of the world. Make a very special effort to be what you really want to be.</p>
<p>You have to seriously decide either to remain in a miserable state of low self esteem, or develop a high self esteem with good character and self image.</p>
<p><strong>The possible origins of your low self esteem&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Low self esteem could begin way back in childhood when children are made to believe that they are worthless. Their self confidence is eroded and they succumb to the idea that they can never achieve success in anything that they do. They were picked on, laughed at, pushed around, called ugly names, and treated with disdain. No wonder they grew up to be full of resentment.</p>
<p>If that was your experience, it is time you cut yourself loose from that mindset and <a title="Improve And Achieve..." href="http://www.needtofind.org/achieve-your-dreams/" target="_blank"><strong>start boosting your self esteem</strong></a>. Start reading about the lives of successful people and you will soon discover that many of them had such low self esteem that they could not even complete an elementary education. Many decided to override their low self esteem and improve their attitude, whatever it took. They became some of the greatest men and women that ever lived.</p>
<p>Low self esteem has never helped anyone, and it sure won&#8217;t help you. It can only drive you into depression, anger, resentment, fear and all the other evils that it generates. Re-program your thinking and control your state of mind. You must believe that you are worth much more than you think or you will remain at the foot of the ladder and never make an attempt to climb it.</p>
<p>Do not waste your life away with feelings of inadequacies. Instead, think of ways to go about improving your<br />
self esteem and consequently, YOURSELF. Success can be yours, just reach out and grasp it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>Many people struggle in life because they lack confidence, and have low self esteem. If you are one of them, here are some top tips to help you&#8230;</p>
<p>1. <strong>Try to stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself.</strong> If you&#8217;re used to focusing on your shortcomings, start thinking about positive aspects of yourself that outweigh them. When you catch yourself being too critical, counter it by saying something positive about yourself. Each day, write down three things about yourself that make you happy.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Aim for accomplishments rather than perfection.</strong> Some people become paralyzed by perfection. Instead of holding yourself back with thoughts like, &#8220;I won&#8217;t audition for the play until I lose 10 pounds,&#8221; think about what you&#8217;re good at and what you enjoy, and go for it.</p>
<p>3. <strong>View mistakes as learning opportunities.</strong> Accept that you will make mistakes because everyone does. Mistakes are part of learning. Remind yourself that a person&#8217;s talents are constantly developing, and everyone excels at different things — it&#8217;s what makes people interesting.</p>
<p>4.<strong> Try new things.</strong> Try experimenting with different activities that will help you get in touch with your talents. Then take pride in new skills you develop.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Recognize what you can change and what you can&#8217;t.</strong> If you realize that you&#8217;re unhappy with something about yourself that you can change, and then start today. If it&#8217;s something you can&#8217;t change (like your height), then start to work toward loving yourself the way you are.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Set goals.</strong> Think about what you&#8217;d like to accomplish, and then make a plan for how to do it. Stick with your plan and keep track of your progress.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Exercise! </strong>You&#8217;ll relieve stress, and be healthier and happier.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Have fun.</strong> Ever found yourself thinking stuff like &#8220;I&#8217;d have more friends if I were thinner&#8221;? Enjoy spending time with the people you care about and doing the things you love. Relax and have a good time — and avoid putting your life on hold.</p>
<p>9. <strong>Use the 10 minute technique.</strong> People with poor self esteem often fail to give themselves enough time and space. So find 10 minutes every day to be alone and to just sit and do nothing. Some people find it helpful to close their eyes and imagine a country scene or the sight and sound of waves gently lapping against the seashore. During these 10 minutes, allow yourself to feel peaceful and happy. Enjoy this time. It is yours &#8211; and yours alone. And you deserve it. Finding 10 minutes for you is a caring thing to do and you will feel better for doing it.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Act confidently.</strong> People will sense your self confidence and respond positively to you, strengthening your image and self-image all at once.</p>
<p><strong>Use these tips and you will soon see results&#8230; If you would like to learn how you can really turn your life around&#8230; <em><a title="Boost confidence and achieve!" href="http://www.needtofind.org/achieve-your-dreams/" target="_blank">Click Here</a>!</em></strong></p>
