Reinforcing
Self Esteem at Home
Your home should be a place of peace and
refuge where you can find rest and solace in order to recharge from the events
of the day. This refuge is especially
important when it comes to reinforcing your self esteem. Each day, our self esteem suffers from
drastic blows from friends, family members, coworkers, spouses, children,
school mates, or even perfect strangers.
Instead of allowing yourself to become entrenched in feelings of self
loathing or self doubt, take time to reinforce your self esteem in the comfort
and privacy of your own home. Know that
you home is a refuge for your body, mind, and spirit so that you can devote the
necessary attention to yourself.
When dealing with reinforcing your self
esteem in the comfort of your own home, consider creating a space that is only
for you. Take a private corner, cozy
niche, or spare room and create your own private oasis. Each individual will have a different idea of
an area that is totally relaxing, calming, and reenergizing to him or her. Maybe you see a sparse Asian-inspired area
where you can practice your tai chi and meditation in order to rebuild and
replenish your spirit. Perhaps your idea
of a private sanctuary is a plot of land where you work in tune with nature to
care for terrific plants of all species and types. Maybe your private oasis is a cozy reading
nook filled with books, a comfortable chair, and good quality reading
light. Whatever your space looks like,
ensure it is made especially for you. Instruct
your spouse, children, siblings, family members, or roommates to avoid your
special space so that you can maintain the personal and private feeling. Also, instruct anyone who shares you home not
to bother you while you are in your personal oasis. Attempt to create an atmosphere absent of
distractions like the telephone, computer, or television.
Other ways to reinforce your self esteem
while at home may seem silly or trivial, but will make your feel better about
yourself and your strengths. Leave a
message for yourself or a family member every morning on the bathroom
member. Include compliments and praise
in this message in order to reinforce your own or another person’s self esteem. If you live with someone else, take turns
leaving each other notes so that you can both assist each other in this
task. Also, place tokens or items that
remind you of your achievements in prominent places around your home. These tokens can include ribbons, trophies,
certificates, rewards, photographs, or special memorabilia from an important
time in your life. Ensure these items
are in a place that you are sure to see daily.
Your refrigerator door is a great place to post self esteem boosting
items, since you are sure to visit the fridge at least once a day. Additionally, the bathroom mirror is an
excellent spot since most individuals will at least take one glimpse in the
mirror before leaving for the day.
An excellent way to reinforce your self
esteem is to praise yourself for goals accomplished. Even something as simple as losing a couple
pounds should be celebrated in order for the accomplishment of the goal to
become a reality. When you accomplish a
large goal that you worked very diligently to work towards, plan a party. This is an excellent idea to plan a festive
event in order to celebrate with your friends and family members. Your self esteem is sure to be boosted after
a fabulous party thrown in your honor!
These tips are excellent methods to reinforcing your self esteem in the
comfort of your own home.
