Stop Putting Yourself Down

You can’t develop high self-esteem if you repeat negative phrases about yourself and your abilities. Whether speaking about your appearances, your career, your relationships, your financial situation, or any other aspects of your life, avoid self-deprecating comments. Start noticing what kind of chatter your mind ‘Golum’ (that ugly creature that lurks in the dark to create trouble for you) is telling you. Refuse to accept this negative self-talk anymore. Just imagine the words that ‘Golum’ tells you written on a white board- visualize getting an eraser and remove them from the white board every time that these thoughts come to your mind.
