chocolate really does help when eaten in small amounts. (unfortunately once i open some i cannot stop eating it!)
If you look in the mirror and cannot find anything you like about yourself, then why not ask someone else what part of your appearence they like??? a friend or family member,
Good luck

Re: Everything for your self esteem
I find if you keep chopping and changing bits in your everyday routine, that can help me cheer up as its a change from the same things you do everyday.

Re: Everything for your self esteem
Hey dude! those r some really good pointers...i think its good to know that theres something out there that can save someone that completely despises themselves. the looking into the mirror thing is good...i used to HAVE to do that, every morning. it kept me going!
He swears he didn't mean to...he was just cleaning it and then it went off...

Oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
And hold the earth in place
Each time a faucet opens
Words are spoken
The water runs away
And I hear your name
No, nothing has changed
There was this book I read and loved
The story of a ship
Who sailed around the world and found
That nothing else exists
Beyond his own two sails and wooden shell
And what is held within
All else is sure to pass
We clutch and grasp
And debate what's truly permanent
But when the wind starts to shift
Well, there's no argument

Re: Everything for your self esteem
hey guys!
this is a technique that i use ALL THE TIME when i'm feeling down, depressed, sad, just when life ahas me down you know? and it works reallyreally well, and i hope this is where this list should go!
ok, here's how it works. you have to write a list with ten things you love about yourself. no cheating and only doing five or six and saying that's all you have
just think of ten things that make you happy to be, well, you!
here's my list:
-i have a million wondeful friends
-i lost the weight i wanted to lose
-i have pretty eyes
-i have good shoulders
-i don't judge people based on their appearances
-i give money to charity
-i stand up for what i believe in
-i do what i think is right
-i love life
-i look out for the little guy
now, see? i feel better already! sometimes it seems like you're bragging about yourself, but sometimes you need to brag about yourself to make yourself feel better, you know?
so, i hope that this technique will help some of you guys out there who are feeling blue!
go from :'( to !
hugs and love, hannah
ps-if this should go somewhere else, feel free to move it!

Re: Everything for your self esteem
Ya that is a great exercise. I think I should start an exercise book on ways to make me more confident. Thanks for the suggestion. I shall try it and tell you how it goes.

She's so big hearted
but not so remarkable
just an ordinary humble girl
expecting nothing as we may
to think it's a pretty person's worth
you are beautiful
and you'd better go show it
so go and look again
you gotta be true only if you really wanna go to the top and you really wanna win
don't believe in living normal
just to satisfy demand
Well, if you wanna get free
and if wanna get smart by the sake of your heart
you should own your lame and stand up tall

Re: Everything for your self esteem
lol thats a good idea.. I was thinking people should do things like this- we should make it a topic where everyone has to do it and post it (well not HAVE to, but you know what I mean..)... just to FIND things about themselves they like-- make it pinned or something.. maybe we could just turn that around and urge people to do it!

Re: Everything for your self esteem
Ok I put this in with all the other self esteem stuff.
Is this alright with everyone? If you want me to split it, then do say. But there were so many it was looking unruly.
If you have some other ideas and which topics to separate, anything at all, then please tell me

Re: Everything for your self esteem
There comes a point where you look in the mirror and think you're the ugliest thing in the entire world, and you hope you die before you literally blind someone with your ugliness. You hate yourself inside and out, think you're stupid, mean, whatever...
I was at that point.
But then all the sudden, I started thinking about it. I really think my low self-esteem is the reason I have no friends. I mean, really. Who wants to be with someone who hates themself, thinks their ugly, cuts, cries a lot, doesn't really talk, and is withdrawn? I don't. So why would anyone else?
So I've made a pact with myself. I'm determined to turn myself around somehow. I made signs for my wall. They say, "I am:", "Beautiful", "Wanted", "Loved", and "Smart". I recommend everyone to at least TRY to turn around. Don't sulk in the self pity you all have. You're not ugly. You guys are all beautiful. Just look inside yourself for that beauty. I guarantee you'll find it.
If you need me, I'm here.
