There are many things you can do to improve how you feel about yourself!

The cure is in the development of a good relationship with yourself, where you support, encourage and affirm self to build self esteem. Therefore, ease up on yourself, your give yourself a break, and you remind yourself not how you messed up, but instead the focus is on what you did right. This change of focus over time develops self acceptance which is the key to good self esteem.
Self Esteem – how to improve

- Treat yourself

On a daily basis, be nicer to yourself in all your actions. Take time to eat healthily, take time to exercise or to meet a friend. Build in something nice just for you, every day even if it’s to listen to music for fifteen minutes, take time for pleasure. In other words, meet your own needs, rather than looking to others to do that for you, only you are responsible for yourself.
