Make a list of your goals and how you’re reaching them
Even if it feels like you’re a long way off from becoming the person you want to be, writing down the goals you hope to accomplish and how you’ve taken steps toward achieving them can give you a serious self-esteem boost in the short-term.
“Set a goal and see how you’re getting closer to meeting it,” suggests Oklahoma-based clinical psychotherapist Kevon Owen, LPC. If you’re hoping to go back to school to finish your degree, for example, make a note of how you called to attend an information session; if you want to lose weight, write down the date when you signed up for the gym. “Whatever it is, look at how well you’re doing or how you’re progressing and watch how it impacts that self-esteem,” he says.
