Self-esteem is how we feel about ourselves, how confident we are, how accomplished we feel. For some of us, however, it can go up and down. One day we might feel really on top of things, great about ourselves, unafraid to try anything. Another day, we抮e just as likely to feel completely at the bottom, unsure of ourselves, afraid to say or do everything.

What is it about self-esteem that keeps it on this rollercoaster path? How can we even it out to raise or eliminate those lows?

Here are 10 tips to help us conquer those low days and level out our self-esteem track:

1. Review a previous accomplishment: Most of us have learned how, at an early age, to master something, such as riding a bicycle. Learning to ride one of those contraptions isn抰 easy, either. It requires a process of hand/eye/brain/body/machine coordination that takes time. Getting on a bike for the first time is an unsettling experience. Nothing could feel more foreign than sitting on a chunk of rubber-tired metal trying to steer it, pedal it and stay on it all at once, while avoiding obstacles. In fact, on a bike, it抯 most likely that during the first few attempts at learning to ride, we see and then head straight for the very obstacle we need to avoid. But we get better at it, some of us more slowly than others, until one day, suddenly we realize we抮e not struggling. We抮e not even thinking about where our hands and feet are. We抮e riding our bike!!

2. Start small and do a task you can accomplish easily. There抯 no faster way to build self-esteem than to add yet another accomplishment to your roster. And it always feels good to get something crossed off our to-do list.

3. Forgive yourself for the things you抮e not good at. Some of us are lousy cooks. Some of us are bad at relationships. We make mistakes, even when we抮e trying our best. Sometimes you just have to apologize, let it go and move on. Nobody says we all have to be experts at everything, thank goodness!

4. Praise yourself for the things you do well. Not everyone has your unique abilities and talents. Don抰 sell yourself short. It isn抰 wrong or egotistical to praise ourselves. In fact, it抯 a good re-parenting technique to learn how to pat yourself on the back a little when you accomplish something you do well, in record time or with excellent results. Learn how to enjoy a few minutes of self-congratulations instead of jumping right into the next task as if nothing happened, or dismissing it as meaningless. It does mean something.

5. Ignore yourself. Sometimes the real problem isn抰 self-esteem at all but a tendency toward overthinking. Direct your focus to other things. Give it a rest already.

6. Consider your physical and mental states at these times of 搇ow self-esteem.

Go to Unit Psychiatry, General Hospital. Clinical psychologists are not easy to see them as they're a bit invisible in our society. The option is see psychiatrist. Try search some infor at Mental Health Association. Maybe from this source you can get private clinic for treatment.

pity to u. i pernah kena anxiety and panic attack disorder similar like ur case. nak pergi jalan sesorang pun takut.name it shopping ke janji jln sorang. takut pengsan tiba tiba coz when it happen ,i ada heart palpitation so fast rasa nak pengsan, shortness breath, sakit perut memulas ,rasa nak muntah..doc said bcoz i had thyroid so dia berkait rapat. i pernah ambik anti depressant like lexotan bromazepam, xanax, propranalol ...u cuba jumpa physician doctor dulu kalau medical check up sume ok like blood test normal , ecg normal, maybe u ada mild anxiety or depression or stress.

psychiatrist i pernah jumpa Dr. Kasmini at Damansara Specialist Hospital. Mahal sgt .per session is RM350 - RM400 abt 1 1/2 hours. but jumpa physician dulu then if they think its necessary u to see psychiatrist, they will refer u to see them. good luck.

Cara yg terbaik untuk mengubati dan mengelakkan daripada penyakit sebegini ialah:

- Baca Quran dan fahami makna nya
- Rajin2 sholat malam
- Berkawan dan berintraksi dgn org2 baik/sholeh
- Perbanyakan berpuasa
- Perbanyakan zikir serta doa

Alhamdulillah, it works on us.
