Turning Daily Activities into Self-esteem Exercises When I woke up yesterday morning I was first thinking Today is going to be a very busy day. I will not have time to do any self-esteem exercises. Then I realized what a stupid thought that was! Of course I can do self-esteem exercises no matter what other tasks I have to do at the same time! This is what I did: I needed to go shopping. I decided to go shopping as a person with super-high self-esteem would do it. I thought to myself: A person with super-high self-esteem probably feels very relaxed, confident and happy. She walks with her back straight and her head lifted up. She cheerfully says hello to everyone that she meets Without losing any time, I went shopping in this manner. (Acting as if you have super-high self-esteem makes your brain believe that it is true and you get into the habit of being such a person. Read my book The Self-esteem Toolbox for more details.) While I was cooking, I listened to my self-esteem playlist on my ipod. That really cheered me up. It was a good brainwash as well! (Read The Self-Esteem Toolbox if you want to know more about self-esteem playlists.) Every time I passed a mirror during the day, I told myself a compliment or I simply gave myself a smile. (You can read about mirror exercises in my book too!) As I was preparing to go to sleep I listened to my recording of myself reading some self-esteem affirmations. Good brainwashing! (Again, read more in the book if you are interested!) In total I guess I spent about two hours working on my self-esteem that day. AND I didnt lose any time on it. I simply turned my other daily activities into self-esteem exercises. I suggest you do the same whenever you have a busy day! Take care of yourself you are all that you have!
