Self-esteem exercises needn’t be complicated and can be implemented on the spot.  Just by simply changing your stature has a positive effect on your mood.  Don’t believe me? just try and be depressed by standing upright with a cheesy grin on your face.  It’s incredible the signals that your facial muscles send to your brain.  It signals the brain that you’re happy and are experiencing euphoria, when that happens you begin to believe it and actually feel it.

We know when people are depressed just by looking at their body language.  You know those people, the ones with the slumped shoulders and the glum expressions on their faces.  Their facial muscles are signaling their brains that they are sad and depressed and before they know it, every fiber of their being is convinced, that’s all it takes.

Did you know it takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown?   Practice smiling in front of a mirror.  Even when you feel down, pick up those shoulders, puff out your chest and smile.  Fake it until you make it meaning that you may not feel like a rock star but if you mimic the confidence of one, sooner than later you’ll begin to feel it and the way others view and treat you will cement the experience for you.

People want to be around those who bring out their best because everyone wants to feel good about themselves and this has a flow on effect to the person making them feel good.  Not only do you gain more friends that respect you and want to be around you but you also feel good in the process and before you know it, your thoughts, feelings and actions have re-shaped your life.

You can improve self esteem and completely makeover your life at your own will.  Just remember at any time you can change your life, you may not be able to change your circumstances but realizing that you can change how you react to them is a powerful thing.

When you realize that you alone hold the key to your own happiness and nobody else, you will find more joy in life.

You make a difference, you were born for a reason and your life has value.  You’re meant to be here.  So be the change you want to see.

So I hope you’ve gained some insight in terms of your own self-esteem and how you can change your situation at any given moment, you just have to do it even if you don’t feel it initially.  You won’t always feel motivated to be
positive but it’s important that you try because it limits the time you spend depressed and feeling low.

Doesn’t it make sense?  You can’t feel depressed and euphoric at the same time.  So when you feel great, feelings of depression and negativity take a back seat.  You just have to do this regularly and ensure that you’re feeling more good than bad.  You determine this.  It’s natural to have bad days too, if you didn’t you wouldn’t be human but you don’t have to stay mourning in those moods for longer than you need to.  When you stay locked in depression or feeling down you’re missing out on life.

Remember, if you find it difficult to shake “the blues” or bouts of depression and experience severe, ongoing episodes and you can’t build up your self esteem no matter what you do, you should consider consulting a medical practitioner right away.  Never be afraid to talk about it with loved ones, a problem shared is a problem halved.
