Trust that you are
competent. Remind yourself of all the problems you have faced and tackled. Have
faith that even if you cannot deal with a problem yourself that you will have
the ingenuity to get the help, skills, or knowledge that you need. Doubting
your capability? Take on a new challenge and prove to yourself you can rather
than you can't. Pay attention to each accomplishment regardless of how small
and make a mental note or, even better, keep a note pad. Give yourself extra
credit when it required significant effort and don't forget to pat yourself on
the back. Believe in your own worth. Recognize that means making yourself a
priority some of the time. Think of something you want to do and do it. Give
yourself permission to say no, ask for what you want, or maneuver into a
position to make it happen. Be prepared to tolerate disappointing others for
the sake of recognizing that you matter and taking care of yourself.
Think back to most
recent experience where you felt you fell short, made a mistake, or messed-up
and force yourself to name five things that went right. We are not defined by
any one thing but by the accumulation of our experiences. Look in a full size
mirror and pick five things that you are looking at that make you feel good.
You can pick five things you see on the outside such as your physical
attributes: eyes, lips, hair, nails, legs, feet, toes, or smile. You can also
pick things related to your style such as: your hairdo, clothing, stance,
make-up, shoes, or jewelry. In addition, you can pick items that come from the
inside such as: your sparkle, spirit, energy, compassion, or kindness. Having
trouble? Ask someone that matters to you to name five things you have to feel
good about yourself. Try this every day for a week.
