Suggestions to help low self esteem

[Pooshweens]

I've always suffered from low self esteem, and it is always in the back ground for me, like a dark cloud making me doubt everything i say / do / feel

It affects relationships as I constantly question myself, and I would love to be rid of it. On paper I have everything to be happy about there is no real need for this feeling

I have had CBT a few times in the past but don't really want to go down that route

Does anyone have any tips / suggestions / book ideas that I could try? Think it's got worse during lockdown as more time in my head

Have you tried writting the positives down? Or writting down 3 positives at the end if each day? Low self esteem usually takes a core believe, something like not being good enough and its this that needs ti be overridden to feel better. Starting to build a positive journal can help to limit tbe core belief you hold. If you do do a positive journal, make sure you then comment on what the positive thing says about you....without the link its not really that useful i feel. You could also try positive affirmations that go against the core belief, says these everyday and remind yourself of them to override the negative self thinking. Low self esteem isnt easy to overcome but i do think its possible to impove it. Xx
