Raising self esteem.

[wheresmyhairytoe]

How do you raise your self esteem?

Mine is rock bottom, totally destroyed after work issues made me feel shit and useless.
I honestly can't think of anything good about myself.

You need to take small steps.Start by really really looking after yourself physically and mentally.Try walking meditation to get you out of the house and to distract yourself.Set yourself some goals and get pleasure in ticking them off .Reach our to people and tell them how you are feeling, ask them what they like about you...and believe them xx

I'm surrounded by people who love me and tell me why but I can't let it sink in. I just focus on all the bad things about myself and how work was such a failure.

I've been having counselling which has helped in that I no longer want to die but that finishes next week.

I need to look for a new job and I'm worried how I'll be able to sell myself when I struggle to see my worth.

Reading is a good place to start. Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on it by Kamal Ravikant. It's a long and difficult process tho, you've spent years telling yourself one thing and having that cemented by experience. It's a total mindset shift to feel differently but you will get there. Be kind to yourself!
