It can be difficult to make time for yourself, but making time to do things that make you feel relaxed and happy can improve your self-esteem as well as your productivity at work and at home. Find a hobby that makes you feel better physically and mentally.  Some people find that yoga, bicycling, or running help them find a calm, centered positivity. If there are negative influences in your life that cause you to feel badly about yourself, try to minimize or eliminate the time you spend with them.  Include in your life, instead, people who are positive and support your positive self-thoughts.  Making your loved ones aware of your self-esteem building journey will encourage them to act as a support system for you. You may want to tell close friends or family something like “I am working on improving my self-esteem.  You can help me by pointing out when I say something negative about myself so that I am more aware of my negativity.” Choosing foods that are more nutritious and lower in sugar and fat can boost your energy, cut down on sugar crashes, and improve your overall health.  Avoid fad diets and opt for whole foods that are minimally processed. Avoid foods such as candy bars, soda, cake, doughnuts, and pastries, which lead to massive energy crashes, possible headaches, and offer no nutrition, possible illness, and added calories. Eat more fruits, veggies, lean meats, and legumes.  Think of them as all-day energy and abundant nutrition for your body, that will enable you to keep up with your job and kids, protect your body against illnesses, and extend your life so you can enjoy more time with your family. Even when going to the gym isn’t an option, a brisk walk is often all you need in order to move more and improve your health.  A little exercise can give you more energy, make you feel better, and help boost your immune system.  Many people find that walking outdoors is refreshing and restorative, particularly if they spend most of their time working indoors. Even a 10-minute workout once or twice every day offers benefits to your health. If you put thought and time into your personal appearance by selecting clothing that makes you feel confident and put-together and practicing daily hygiene habits, you will feel more comfortable and confident.
