1. Positive self talk. The best thing you can do for your self esteem is to talk positively about your self. Make a commitment to yourself this month and every month moving forward that your inner monologue will be of positive, self affirming things, and no negativity will be allowed to creep in.
2. Take time to be grateful. Be grateful for you good qualities. We all have a tendency to dwell on the imperfections. Focusing on being grateful for the qualities that you bring to the world will go a long way to helping you accept and celebrate yourself the way you are.
3. Accept compliments. How many times has someone complimented you only for you to say something like, "oh I don't think so...you're too kind."
