I want to share a simple strategy for increasing your self esteem. The strategy involves keeping track of your successes. The problem most of us have is that we have unrealistic views of what must happen in order for us to feel successful. This is the wrong approach. Instead, we need to lower our expectations of what we consider success.

I know you feel successful because of your college graduation achievement. But the truth is that every class you passed along the way was one small success that lead to the big success.

When I say keep track of your success, I mean writting them down in a journal or notebook. Write out everything you can think of and review this list daily. What you are doing is reprogramming your mind to feel good about the small success while you pursue the large goal.

Some examples may be:
I wrote one hour today without the distraction of TV.
I woke up early to exercise when my body was saying stay in bed.

Whatever it takes for you to feel good about yourself It's worth it for you to do it.
