5. Raising Your Self Esteem It’s as easy as 1-2-3 ! 1. YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH! You need to realize that you are a wonderful person and that even every “inperfection” makes you a unique and beautiful person. Love yourself, because you deserve it ! 2. FORGET ABOUT THEM! They don’t have the final say in your happiness or worth. As long as you are happy with yourself everything else will fall by the way side. Don’t honor their negativity ! 3. BE POSITIVE! Be an actively positive person. Don’t make negative comments about yourself because this will open the door of pessimism. If you want to change something about yourself, DO IT !
