How to Increase Your Self-esteem

Other great ways to boost your self-esteem are to:
Reward yourself regularly.
If you don't stop and recognise your achievements every once in a while, you're missing out on crucial opportunities for self-assurance. Been to the gym four times this week? Treat yourself to a new gym top or a water bottle. Those little acknowledgements will build up and serve as a regular reminder of how great you are.
Get plenty of Z's.
Sleep is also vital. If you're exhausted and run-down, your mood — and your confidence will take a hit. You need energy to be social and productive, so try to avoid burnout by balancing your workouts and work life with plenty of Rest and Recovery.
And lastly:
Surround yourself with positive people.
Moods and attitudes can be contagious, so if you're hoping to boost your self-esteem, it's important to keep confident company. Find a cool new Personal Trainer who can keep you on the straight and narrow in the gym or find a new gym buddy, who compliments you and helps make the gym a fun place to me. And always steer clear of the Debbie Downers: people who are constantly rattling off their insecurities will only prompt you to acknowledge yours. They have no room in your life and will only drag you down.
