Protect Your Mental Health: 4 Tactics to Change Your Self-Perception

  Low self-esteem can negatively impact your life in various ways. Not only can it stop you from looking in the mirror each day, but it could also damage your mental health, prevent you from forming friendships or from flourishing in your career. If you want to both look and feel confident every day of the week, read the following four tactics to change your self-perception.

  1. Challenge Your Thinking

A pessimistic outlook on your appearance or personality could be eating away at your confidence levels. It might, therefore, be time to start challenging your thinking to improve your self-worth. For example, you must aim to train your brain to stop rejecting compliments and start counteracting negative emotions. For example, forgive yourself when you make a mistake, write down a compliment you receive from a loved one, or say aloud “I can” when your brain says you cannot do something.

  1. Write a List of Your Strengths

Rather than dwelling on your weaknesses, aim to focus on your many talents and abilities. You are bound to possess many strengths you can be proud of, such as a flair for the written word, a pragmatic mindset or a kind heart. Boost your self-esteem by writing a list of your many qualities, which can make you feel happier in your own skin and will prove you have a lot to offer others.

  1. Practice Self-Care

Poor health can equal a poor self-perception. If you want to feel happy with your appearance, enjoy great physical health and feel mentally and emotionally strong, you must practice self-care each day. To do so, you will need to:

  • Slow down when stressed

You also should look for ways to boost your self-worth, such as taking a class to learn a new skill, creating a more attractive smile with cosmetic dentistry, or embracing a hobby that will make you beam with pride.

  1. Realize You’re Not Your Circumstances

Many people fail to separate themselves from their circumstances. It is, however, important to realize that you are not defined by your current position in life. Different people are born in different surroundings, which they can ultimately change through hard work, ambition and self-belief. Rather than allowing your destructive thoughts to hold you back, understand that you are more than your environment and design a path to improve your lifestyle. Ticking small steps off your list can work wonders for your self-esteem and could make it easier to view a realistic route to success.

Conclusion

It can be easy to spend your days picking apart your personality, beating yourself up for your circumstances or neglecting your health. If, however, you want to improve your quality of life and experience greater confidence, you must aim to develop a proactive, positive mindset. This means embracing a healthier lifestyle, embarking on activities that make you happy, counteracting negative thoughts, and setting yourself goals to improve your self-perception.
