I always feel a boost in my self esteem when things go much better than I expected. For instance, back in my school days there was no better feeling than acing a test I was worried I hadn't studied enough for...honestly, I think it felt better than when I aced a test I had over-studied for! Even something small like going to the DMV to get my license renewed and having it not take as long as I expected gives me a little boost!

I agree, having something good happen at an unexpected time is a GREAT ego booster!

anything in the near past (good or bad) that makes you feel better does good to boost up your self esteem. also things that in your view can set you apart from the rest can do good .

Hey Nonersays, I think to me what does it for me and everyone I would say Nice compliments. For Example when someone tells you (You Look Great Today) Or I love your shirt, dress, shoes, hair, what ever, or your skin looks so clear wow. You look so young, To me even when people tel lyou these things tel lyourself those things as well. You dont need to wait for someone to tell you look nice because most people are to shy or just wont say anything and comment in there head say wow. they look nice haha. Find something to wear that you think makes you look and feel good at the same time. Doing so will also help your self of esteem. To me I use to be over over Weight and I didnt like it Since I didnt I change it and lost over 100 pounds. Will Power. In the end you know who your are and you know what you like and dont like about yourself. Thats what gives me a Self esteem. Boost because its about myself and what I need to work on me lol. :)

There is one thing that really never fails to lift my self esteem. I think of all of the things that are going right. Even if it is just a small thing or a series of small things, the small things can really can add up in life. They can help boost my self esteem and allow me to get on with life and allow me to push on, to achieve more great things. Granted, there can be many bad things in life that are going to really take a chunk out of your self esteem. People as well, downgrading you and making it really making everything look even worst. Still you got to look beyond that. You are going to really think of the great things in life. Those things are going to help raise your self esteem and really increase your ability to look at the good things in life. Think of the good things really increase my self esteem.

Trying to look at the good, and making as little of the bad as possible is a good practice.

Honesty probably. When you be honest to yourself, you will always be confident of what you are doing. So even if people question your commitment or your passion towards the work that wouldnt turn you down. Being honest to oneself is important to achieve anything in live as well as to boast your self esteem.
