This has to be one of the most important issues that you will face, I have a 10 year old Daughter and I consider her Self~Esteme like I would a precious Jem, I never had that, so I never ad much Self~Esteme. Nothing I did was good enough, I felt like I was a nothing most of my life and now at the age of 42 I fight to have any Self worth. So I know first had how important it is to start my Daughters life with making sure she has a good Self Esteme. If you don't have any Self Esteme now, you will not have it in your future, and believe me, it's a lot harder to fix something when you are in your Forties, and you will get there! Faster then you think, and the decisions you make now will effect who you are then. You do not want to be a Forty year old women, with low self esteme, because realizing this then and trying to fix it are hard, you get used to it, it's normal to you, it's the way you have always been, so change is hard at the age of 40, hey, it's hard at the age of 30! So I want you to do something now, and have the chance to fix it before it leads you down the wrong paths, low self esteme will cause you to make poor decisions, you will be more apt to end up with a Punkass boyfriend and possibly Husband who treats you poorly, and you will tolorate it because you don't think you deserve any better.
If you have a low self esteme you will spend your life being kicked around, being taken advantage of, especially by the men in your life, BUT if you have a high self esteme you will never alow yourself to be treated with any disrespect by anyone! I want you to take a good look at yourself in a full length mirror, with nothing on, take a good hard look at yourself and tell yourself ""I am beautiful, strong, pround, and smart! I can do anything I put my mind to!"I want you to do this every morning while you are dressing, and every night when undressing. This is called an affermationAnd what this is, is a saying that will eventually sink into your sub-consious mind, think for a minute how easy it is to say something negative about yourself, comes easy doesn't it? Now try and say something possitive about yourself,"tap...tap...tap...see? thats not as easy. What an affermation will do is change that around, being able to say something positive about yourself with a snap off a finger, and even just thinking something negative about yourself will be atomatically pushed out of your mind. If you constantly hear over and over that you are no good, or you not pretty enough or you are to fat, you needto loss weight, you believe it, it in itself a affermation, but a negative one, so instead of constantly telling yourself or letting others constantly telling you negative affermations, turn it around, and start telling yourself Positive affermantions instead of negative ones. Truthfully, it's not as easy as it sounds, it is not easy to change this around, but you can you just have to do it, force yourself at first, but do it! Every morning, and every night. The hardest part of this is the first step, excepting that your self esteme is low, and that you need to fix it now, before you get to used to it, and you spend the next years makeing really bad choices and believe me you will! Low self esteme does nothing but lead you down the wrong paths in life so change this now before you loss yourself in it.
