Use Past Mistakes To Build A New Success Mindset

Every single decisions matters. Every choice you have made in your life has led you to the point you’re at now.

And when I say that you are probably thinking of all those big choices you made. The choice to go into a certain career for instance, the choice to move to a certain part of town and the choice to marry a certain person. Change any of those pivotal moments and everything would be different.

But what about those smaller choices? And what about the choices you make all the time, simply through inaction. When you choose not to look for other work, when you choose not to challenge the system.

And when you choose to ignore the nagging voice inside that is telling you: there’s more to life than this.

It’s scary stuff because it means that no moment in your life is inconsequential. But it’s also incredibly liberating – right now, you have a million choices open to you and you can take any of them. But how to know what to do?

Make A Map Of Failure

If there’s anything you’re unhappy with in your life, then chances are that you got there by making certain choices and decisions. These are your failures, and you are now bearing those scars in your daily life.

Many of us will accept our lot in life and accept these mistakes and thus continue to live a life less satisfying.

But what if we change this approach? What if instead, we take those things we’re unhappy with and we vow to learn from them – to not make those mistakes again.

Did you get to the point of being unhappy in your work by not speaking up and going after a raise? By not looking for work elsewhere? By not taking the chance to go after your dream?

Are you unhappy with your financial situation because you chose not to budget? Or because you chose to take out a loan for something you didn’t need – something that didn’t help you on your path to success?

Don’t feel bad about these mistakes – just recognize them for what they are. And knowing that, use the opportunity to head out there and really make a difference – to embrace the life that you want.

Next time the opportunity comes up – take it. And don’t fail to speak up: start telling people what you want. Want to fix your finances? Come up with a budget and stick to it.

It’s not too late, if you are able to learn from those mistakes!

Use Your Daily Goals To Help Develop A Success Mindset

We have all heard of setting goals to get ahead in life; it is espoused by pretty much every self-help or personal development guru out there.

And goals are important as they act as a destination that you are working towards. If you don’t do that, you can wander through life aimlessly and wonder why you haven’t achieved anything!

So, with that being said, what is your goal in life?

For some it is to get into shape. For some it is to get rich. For others, it is to see the world.

There is no right or wrong answer to the question because what is important for one person will be unimportant for another.

Now what is your daily goal?

This is a very different concept but actually the daily goal is far more important than the overarching goal – at least if you really want to achieve the things that you’re dreaming of. And why is that?

Goals are often too vague

The big issue is that for many of us, our goals are much too broad and much too vague. Even if you have a ‘specific target’ like losing 5 stone in a year, this is still much too broad and vague.

Losing that amount of weight is not entirely within your control. There’s lots you can do to increase or decrease your chances of success and of course you’re mostly responsible… but there are other factors at play here too like your health and like your metabolism.

What’s more, is that having a goal that is that far away can actually make it all too easy to cheat. You know you have a year to lose the weight, so what does it matter if you eat a bit of cake today?

And it makes it easy to get disheartened too – when you get 6 months in and realize that you’re actually heavier than you were before.

Daily goals fix all that

But daily goals fix all that. Start with a vision – a very abstract vision of what you want – and then break that down into the smallest possible steps that you can execute every day or every week.

In the case of losing weight, your goal might be to eat no more than 1,800 calories a day, or to go for at least a 10-minute run every day. That’s a small goal but it’s perfect for sticking to because it is completely within your control.

If you don’t manage to run just that little bit, then you only have yourself to blame. There are no excuses to be made – it’s pass or fail. But at least tomorrow you can try again.

And guess what? If you keep accomplishing those smaller daily goals, they eventually add up. Eventually, you manage that big goal.

Focussing on the small, achievable goal directly in front of you is a great way to get to your destination. They also serve as milestones, and you can look back during your journey to see how far you have come and this can be especially helpful if you are struggling for motivation.

It is important to enjoy the journey and not just the destination or you will be missing out on so much. To know more about enjoying the journey take a look at this premium training here at a very affordable price.

And the same goes for every other type of objective too. The best way to earn money is to build a business a little every day. And the best way to write a novel, is to write a page every night!

As you probably already know, having a strong mindset is critical to any attempt to finding your goals and staying focused on them, so click on the featured resource below to get a free report on how to develop a strong mindset. Download, it read and take action 😊

5-Step Content Creation

5-Step Content Creation

5-Step Content Creation

If you’re an infoproduct creator, online marketer, blogger, author or other online business owner, then you’re going to need to create ongoing content to serve your audience.

Whether you’re creating free content, paid content, short content, long content or anything in between, this 5-step ‘checklist’ will serve as an overview of the overall steps you will need to complete.

Of course, not just any content will do. It needs to be GOOD content – something useful, something engaging, and something your audience wants.

By the way, if you are serious and want to take your content marketing and your blogging to the next level, check out the Rapid Blogging Blueprint. This is a premium level training that takes you through each and every step of setting up your own highly profitable blog and profiting from it. You can check it out here.

How do you create this sort of in-demand, helpful content? By following this simple five-step process:

  • Step 1: Choose a Topic
  • Step 2: Create Your Outline
  • Step 3: Craft Your Content
  • Step 4: Call Readers to Action
  • Step 5: Convey Benefits

Let’s walk through the steps…

Step 1: Choose A Topic

In order to choose a topic, you need to do the following:

  1. Pick your goal. For example, do you want your readers to buy a product when they’re done reading? Join a mailing list? Register for a webinar? Share your content? Take action on what they just learned? Make progress toward their desired outcome? Pick one primary goal and then move on to the next step.
  2. Select an in-demand topic. Here you need to do your market research to figure out what your audience wants. A good way to do this is to find out what they’re already buying. If people are buying products on a topic, they’ll likely be interested in reading about them on your blog or elsewhere.

TIP: Go to marketplaces such as ClickBank.com, Amazon.com and JVZoo.com and search for your niche keywords – then check what topics are selling well.

  1. Choose the right format. What sort of content best fits your needs? A how-to article, a FAQ, a tips article, etc.?

Let me share with you a typical example…

You’re selling a dieting guide. You do your market research and find out that people are really interested in getting rid of belly fat. You then choose to create an article such as “10 Tips for Boosting Your Metabolism to Burn More Belly Fat.”

Next…

Step 2: Create Your Outline

Your next step is to outline and organize the talking points for your content. How you do this depends on what content format you chose.

Here are three different outlines to use:

  1. Chronological outline, which is for step-by-step content. This works for how-to tutorials, case studies and other similar process-oriented pieces.
  2. Complexity outline, which is when you order content from easiest to more difficult. This works for content in the form of tips, FAQs and other list-oriented pieces.
  3. Categorical outline, which is where you group information by categories. For example, if you create an article with social media marketing tips, you might create three groupings: Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

The key here is to…

Create as detailed of an outline as possible, which will make the writing easier.

You’ll want to first brainstorm information you’d like to include in your content and then research the topic to pick up extra talking points.

Once you’ve got a detailed outline in place, then move on to the next step…

Step 3: Craft Your Content

Now you need to craft your content in a way that keeps people engaged and naturally leads to your call to action.

  • First, let’s talk about creating engaging content. Avoid stuffy “textbook style” content or trying to impress people with your big words. Instead, create content that an 8th or 9th grader could easily read and use a friendly tone as if you were speaking to a friend.
  • Secondly, provide at least one piece of unique content if possible. Share a unique tip or just present the information in a unique way. Take a look at this lesson as an example, where I’ve used alliteration – each of the five steps of this process starts with the letter “C.”
  • Finally, develop your content to lead to the CTA (call to action). For example, if you’re preselling an offer, then create content that’s useful (to help solve part of a problem), yet incomplete (so that you can promote a related paid offer for additional help).

Let me give you a couple of examples of this last point….

  1. An article sharing dieting tips is useful, but readers need to purchase the paid offer (a diet guide) to get the full details on how to lose the weight and keep it off.
  2. An article providing an overview of the steps for writing a sales letter is useful, but readers need to purchase the copywriting course to get in-depth training for each of the steps mentioned.

Step 4: Call Readers To Action

In Step 1, you chose a goal for your content. Now you need to encourage people to take your desired action by inserting a call to action. This is where you tell people what to do next.

E.G., “If you liked these tips for burning belly fat, then you’re going to want to download this free set of fat-burning meal plans and recipes. This set makes it both easy and delicious to lose weight! Click here to claim this offer now…”

Step 5: Convey Benefits

Your final step is to convey the benefits of your content by creating an appealing title that promises help for solving a problem, reaching a goal or enjoying an interest.

For example:

  • [Number] Secrets of [Getting a Benefit]. E.G. “3 Secrets for Rapid Fat Loss – Even If You’re Over 40.”
  • How to [Get a Benefit] In Just [Short Amount of Time or Small Number of Steps]. G., “How to Double Your Conversion Rate With a Five-Minute Tweak.”
  • [Number] [Type of] Tips for [Getting a Benefit]. G., “17 Homeschooling Tips for Transforming Your Kitchen Table Into a Fun and Effective Learning Environment.”

NOTE:  Be sure to be truthful in your titles, offering “hope, not hype.”

Conclusion

These five basic steps will help you create just about any kind of content that you can use to generate traffic, build relationships, presell offers, and generate direct sales as you provide real help for your audience’s wants and needs.

If you really want to know more about the power of content marketing and blogging, you can take a look at the Rapid Blogging Blueprint training course or if you just want a few pointers for now you can grab the featured resource below for a  free detailed blogging report; download, read it and take action 🙂

Use The Habit Of Keeping A Journal

Use The Habit Of Keeping A Journal

Use The Habit Of Keeping A Journal

If you have a great memory, you are one of the lucky few. This article probably isn’t going to add any value for you. For the rest of us, we have a difficult time remembering what we ate for breakfast this morning unless it just happened.

Keeping a journal can be a great way to improve our situations. Because we have a difficult time remembering what happened in the past, we can simply refer to our journals. These journals will contain entries that specify the events on any particular day, as well as personal notes to ourselves. These notes can be related to the events, or they can be completely unrelated. It’s up to you.

The value of the journal won’t be apparent until you have been using it actively. This is where making it a habit comes into play. You need to discipline yourself to make an entry every day. Doing it daily is best. But, if you have a hard time with that, then shoot for once per week.

Try to avoid haphazard entries as the value of the journal will diminish. The journal is the reference book of your life. It also can serve as providing answers to problems you had in the past. The entries will contain notes about how you solved the problems.

It’s up to you whether you want to create this journal online or handwritten. There can be more of a commitment when you handwrite your journal. But, the choice is yours, as long as you keep it going and use it.

Some productivity tools can help in your efforts to journal. For instance, Evernote is a free online tool where you can create notes. You can date these notes and create a section called journal. They even have a feature where you can set up checklists or task lists. The information is saved in the cloud and is secure.

If the entire concept intimidates you, start out small. Don’t try to create volumes in your journal in the first few weeks. The journal structure that you come up with will evolve over time. You’ll keep what is working and scrap what isn’t.

A journal can help you recall information, but it also serves to help you improve your memory. As you continue to record your daily events, you are training your brain with this activity. You’ll end up relying on the journal less and less. Another great idea is to turn your journal into a book and sell it.

Using a journal is a good tool for self discipline too. Let’s look at some more ways to increase your self discipline.

10 Tips For Improving Your Self-Discipline

We all want more self-control. Imagine how much easier life would be if eating right wasn’t such a struggle or a trip to the gym wasn’t a fight with self, regarding the desire for an extra hour of sleep.

Thankfully self-discipline is a trait that anyone can master. You don’t have to be born with the ability. In fact, by following a few simple tips, you can start improving your self-discipline skills almost immediately.

Here’s how:

Understand What’s Particularly Tempting

We all have a weakness. Whether we can’t say no to the salty snacks or wind up staying up too late night after night, we’re looking at the same problem: A lack of self-discipline. By knowing what our triggers are, it’s a simple matter to defuse them.

Change Your Environment

Once you know what tempts you, the simple solution is to remove the trigger from your environment. Salty snacks? Stop buying them. Staying up late? Remove the lightbulb from your bedroom. Don’t be afraid to get radical and more than a little creative.

Set A Goal

Without a plan, how can you accomplish anything? Ask what you’re trying to change. What does your new future look like for you? Make an action plan to take you there.

Practice

Self-discipline doesn’t happen overnight. The only way you’re going to learn it is to practice it. Look at the plan you just created. What steps does it require? Push yourself to act on those steps, daily.

Break Things Down

Change is more natural to make when the steps are kept small and very simple. Break things down to their smallest components. What’s something small you can do today to help you build the habit of self-discipline?

Pay Attention To Your Body

Your physical health will always affect your willpower, so taking care of the basics, such as getting enough sleep and exercising regularly will help you to have better self-discipline.

Gain A New Perspective

The moment you start thinking you have no self-discipline, or that your willpower is a finite resource, you start limiting yourself. By changing your inner dialogue, you’re more likely to have success. Remind yourself often: “I’ve got this.” It truly is about mind over matter.

What’s Plan B?

When going into a difficult situation where you know self-discipline will be challenged, create a backup plan. Know before you begin just what you’re going to do if the worst happens. Implement as needed.

Use Rewards

When you succeed in your goals, don’t be afraid to allow yourself a small reward. As human beings, we’re wired to work our best when we know we’re going to get something out the experience we want.

Know How To Move On

Screwed up? Forgive yourself. Keep going. It’s normal for everyone to mess up now and again. It’s what you do next that matters.

Having strong self-discipline helps you to keep momentum going, especially when the going gets tough, but what are some other ways to help you build momentum?

7 Quick Things You Can Do Today To Build Momentum

You’re on the way! You have a goal in mind, you’re working hard to get there. It might be you’re after something personal. It might be you’re concentrating solely on your career right now. Whatever it is you want, you’re hungry for it. You can’t wait to see the culmination of all this hard work.

…only everything seems to be moving so slow…

What you’re lacking is momentum. Momentum is what pushes you into action. It speeds you up as you work the steps and keeps you going.

So, what do you do when momentum is lagging? Easy. You find ways to build it. Try these quick tips guaranteed to make things happen:

Visualize The Future

Take some time to consider where you’ll be in six months. What about next year or the next five years? Seeing yourself in the future is a really positive way to keep your momentum going. If you can get excited about the you of tomorrow, you’ll find yourself fighting to become that person right now.

Get Up And Do Something

It’s so easy to grow stagnant. Rather than binge-watch the latest Netflix sitcom, how about getting up to create some mischief of your own? Go play a game, take a walk, spend time with friends. Do inspirational things to fill you with enthusiasm.

Learn Stuff

An active mind is a creative mind. The act of learning, even in small increments such as 10-15 minutes a day, will still improve cognitive function. In short, by keeping your mind active, you will pick up momentum.

Act When You Don’t Feel Like It

If you’re waiting for the muse to strike, stop. There will never be a perfect time to work. Momentum means keeping going, even when you don’t feel like it.

Put Your Phone Away

Giving yourself the gift of uninterrupted time does wonders for momentum. By turning off your phone for an hour, you’ll give yourself the freedom to relax, recharge, explore, and forge ahead.

Quit

When it comes to momentum, if you’ve found you’re slowing down, it might be because what you’re doing just doesn’t work. In this case, sometimes the smartest thing to do is to stop. Don’t waste time beating your head against a wall when you could be making progress elsewhere.

Do Something Scary

It’s the challenge that pushes you to new limits. When you do what’s easy, momentum lags. This is why it’s so important to challenge yourself to do the things you never thought you would.

Remember, whatever you can find to help keep the momentum going, embrace! If affirmations help, post a bunch of them everywhere. Put on music to get you moving. Create a social life around people who support you wholeheartedly. You’re the one in charge of your destiny, it’s up to you to act.

As you can see, self-discipline is an important thread throughout this article and if you want to increase your power of self discipline then check out the featured resource below for a free detailed report; download, read it and take action 😊

How To Benefit From Low Content Publishing

How To Benefit From Low Content Publishing

How To Benefit From Low Content Publishing

Have you been looking for a way to generate passive income without having to spend a lot of time building your products or creating a system that funnels in buyers every single day?

If so, then you’ll want to read every word of this special report because I’m about to reveal one of the easiest ways to make money with one of the biggest platforms online: Amazon.

I’m talking about creating low content books that sell like hotcakes!

Low content books include all the following:

  • Journals
  • Calendars
  • Coloring Books
  • Planners
  • Sketch Books
  • Composition Books
  • Notepads
  • Prayer Books
  • Trackers
  • Printables

And just about anything else that involves very little-to-no content.

In fact, with low content books you can create one interior template and use it again and again (though you should vary the interiors to cater to specific niches.)

Here’s the beauty of publishing low-content books:

  • Low content publishing doesn’t take a lot of time. Once you’ve created your initial inventory of products, you can easily expand on your offers or outsource everything!
  • It doesn’t require any previous experience. You can use existing templates that come with commercial-use rights and sell them as your own.
  • It doesn’t cost a lot of money to get started. In fact, you may already own everything you need and if not, you can sign up for a free Amazon KDP account.
  • It doesn’t require any writing skills whatsoever. Since these are low content books, they are based on lined journal styles rather than any text or graphics.
  • You could literally outsource everything and set it on autopilot. How’s that for passive income?

The truth is, with low content publishing, you can get started in less than a couple hours. The learning curve is minimal and once you’ve cut your teeth on the process you can quickly expand your inventory by creating hundreds of additional journals and notebooks.

In fact, you can literally publish low content books in a matter of minutes.

Are you ready to create a profitable business selling low content books that are always in demand?

Let’s get started!

The easiest way to show you what you’ll be creating is to send you over to Amazon so you can see a couple of profitable low content books in action.

Click the “Look Inside” button so you can see what the interior templates look like. Then quickly scan the book description as well.

Here are a few to check out:

Title: My Bible Study Journal

URL: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1546564276

Estimated Monthly Revenue:  $2,489.89

Title: The One-Minute Gratitude Journal

URL: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1523242701

Estimated Monthly Revenue:  $4, 217.36

Title: Meal Planner: Track & Plan Your Meals

URL: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1974561798

Estimated Monthly Revenue:  $2,828.10

Notice how simple those journals are? They feature an attractive cover and a basic interior.  Low content books can be as detailed or as simple as you want them to be.  In fact, you could create one lined-journal template and upload it again and again with different covers!

And in my examples above, every single one of these low content books are selling for thousands of dollars a month!

This is exactly what you’re going to be doing:

These packages come with private label rights so you can rebrand as your own and sell at your own price point.

Note: I don’t recommend publishing books that are greater than 150 pages as it makes it hard for your customers to write in once they get to the middle due to the type of binding. Amazon currently doesn’t offer spiral-bound books.

  • You should aim to publish at least 25-50 low-content books in 30 days. No worries, if this is too much for you to do right away, please feel free to set your own goals.

That’s the key: set a realistic goal and then set aside some time each day to work towards meeting it.

Consistency is key. Even if you only publish 1 low-content book a day, that’s 30 books by the end of your first month!

  • Create attractive, attention-grabbing covers that target specific niche markets, along with high-quality, professional interiors/templates. Your covers won’t always be pretty or even polished, but they will instantly stand out to a segment of your niche.
  • Note: Uploading simple lined journals is a great way to start, but if you really want to boost your income you’ll want to invest in professional interiors that provide customizable layouts.
  • Write keyword-centric blurbs for every book you publish. These will be filled with relevant and targeted keywords that will pull in traffic and help you connect with the right audience of buyers.
  • Once you’ve seen a few sales, identify your bestsellers and focus on creating more of them. Build a brand around a “series” of themed low content books and maximize your income!

Next, let’s look at the best pricing strategy for your low content books.

Choosing The Right Price Point For Low Content Books

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to pricing your low content books.

The key is to analyze similar low-content markets in your niche, create a complete profile of your niche market which includes the average price point of books in that category, and then set yours accordingly.

Don’t be afraid to play around with different price points.

There’s no harm in trying out varying prices because if you don’t find they’re selling, adjust the price and test again!

Want to know how to stand out, even in crowded markets?

Doing this one thing will help you establish a brand and make a connection with potential customers so you can win them over 😉

Offer them even more value for FREE!

These are simple, yet powerful ways you can add value to your products to immediately boost sales.  I’m talking about:

  • Offering customers an eBook version of your product as a free bonus.
  • Send them a secret download link to a special printable that they can download.
  • Give them an auxiliary component that enhances the value of your low-content book, such as a printable “to do” list that works perfectly with the yearly planner you’re selling.

Neither of those things costs you a dime, but it will help you stand out on the marketplace so you can build a loyal tribe of customers.

Now, you’re probably wondering how you can deliver these special bonuses to customers who purchase your products.

After all, Amazon doesn’t provide you with any customer data. This is where the importance of building a mailing list comes into play!

A mailing list is one of the most important tools in every publisher’s arsenal. With a list of targeted subscribers, you’re able to connect with your customer base instantly every time you publish a new book!

To start building your list, just sign up for a mailing list account here: Active Campaign

Active Campaign is a powerful mailing list provider that make it easy for you to create laser-targeted newsletters. Their rates are also very affordable, and you can upgrade your plan as you grow your list.

Criticism Is Not Always Negative

Criticism Is Not Always Negative

Criticism Is Not Always Negative

Do you struggle to handle criticism? While some criticism does come from a negative place, most of the time it is meant with love and good intentions. Unfortunately, even if the person criticizing you is coming from a good place, it can still hurt. If you struggle to handle criticism, here we’ll look at why it isn’t always a negative thing.

Differentiating Between Negative And Positive Criticism

There are a few ways to determine whether criticism is coming from a positive or negative place. It could be that you naturally respond badly to criticism of any kind. Many people are naturally defensive when they are met with criticism. So, the first step is to tame that initial negative reaction.

Try and view the criticism with an open mind. Remember, none of us are perfect! Could there be any truth in what the person is saying? Also pay attention to how the criticism is delivered. Do they give a reason for their feedback, or does it appear that they are nit-picking just to be difficult?

Criticism can come from a negative place, but often it is said to help us improve. Being able to recognize when somebody is being helpful, or just negative, is important.

The Role Of Self-Esteem

Your self-esteem will largely determine how you react to criticism. The more confident you are, the less likely criticism is to affect you. Those who have a healthy dose of self-esteem will be able to learn from any criticism they receive without taking it too personally.

Think about your own self-esteem. Could it use some improvement? If so, focus on ways to build up your self-esteem and you’ll notice this has a direct impact on your ability to handle criticism. You’ll find a lot of awesome self-esteem building tips online.

Top Tips To Deal With People Who Criticize Instead Of Critique

We’ve all been criticized when what we needed was an honest critique, with positive and negative points. As you work on building up your self-esteem, there are some other tips you can implement to deal with overly critical or negative people.

Staying calm is important. You may find when you are met with criticism, your initial reaction is anger. However, if you express anger, it isn’t going to help the situation. In fact, it could work in your critic’s favor! Remaining calm gives, you the ability to fully understand where the criticism is coming from and enables you to deal with it much better.

If the problems are coming from your boss, try and get to the bottom of where the feedback is coming from. If you feel it is still unjust, ask to speak to somebody higher up in the company. Sometimes we need an outsiders view to see what is really happening.

Overall, criticism is never nice to deal with. However, it isn’t always meant as a negative. Some criticism can help you to grow and become a better person. So, don’t be quick to dismiss any criticism thrown your way. Think about it with an open mind and decide whether there is something to be learned.

Is Negativity Ruining Your Self Esteem

When you have a negative outlook, it tends to affect every aspect of your life. Studies have shown that negative self-talk can cause issues with self-esteem.

With poor self-esteem, you may feel worthless, or like you don’t measure up to everyone else. It can affect your relationships and prevent you from taking on opportunities.

Is negativity ruining your self-esteem? You can discover if negative self-talk is dragging your self-esteem down, as well as what signs you need to watch for.

How Negativity Impacts Self-Esteem

Self-esteem can both be a cause of negativity, and a result of it. When you have a negative mindset, it often stems from feeling inadequate or due to a lack of control over a situation. This leads to negative self-talk, such as you’ll never amount to anything, or you aren’t good enough to achieve success.

The trouble with negative thoughts is that they multiply quickly. Over time, you’ll find they greatly affect your confidence and cause you to question your value. Negativity is a self-esteem killer, causing you to doubt everything as well as yourself.

Understanding Negative Self-Talk

Negative self-talk is basically your inner critic reminding you of all the negative things you or others have said about you. Negative self-talk can have a significant impact on your self-esteem, confidence, and overall wellbeing.

Put simply, negative self-talk prevents you from believing in yourself and your abilities. It keeps you from making positive changes and achieving success.

Signs You Have Low Self-Esteem

So, how do you know if you have low self-esteem? There are some signs to look out for which may suggest your self-esteem could use some work. These include:

  • You have little confidence
  • You compare yourself negatively to others
  • You find it difficult asking for help
  • You worry a lot
  • You find it difficult to accept compliments

These are just a small number of the signs of low self-esteem. The question is, how can you eliminate negativity and build up your self-esteem?

Ways To Reduce Negativity And Build Self-Esteem

If you are ready to start combatting your negativity and building up self-esteem, there are a few things you can do. Start by assessing what is contributing towards your negativity. Is it past experiences such as being bullied at school for example? By figuring out where your negativity stems from, you’ll be able to start working on overcoming it.

Surrounding yourself with positive people is a great way to challenge negativity. The people you surround yourself with make a huge difference to how you feel. If you are around negative people, you yourself will end up feeling more negative.

Looking after yourself, utilizing positive affirmations, and stopping comparing yourself to others are also good tips you can follow.

If you have poor self-esteem, the amount of negativity you experience could be partially to blame. As you focus on becoming more positive, you’ll find that you automatically begin to feel happier and more confident.

Whatever you want in life will require discipline to achieve and being able to reframe criticism and negativity is a small part of that.
