People with low self-esteem often see themselves in a negative light, more critically and are demanding towards themselves. Self-esteem is formed throughout life, but there are ways to increase it. How to do it, psychologists told.

1. Live consciously. Self-respect is closely related to the ability to live consciously and the ability to focus on what is happening now, without thinking about the past and without thinking about the future.
2. Practice self-acceptance. It includes unconditional acceptance of yourself and showing compassion for yourself in various situations, even if you have made a mistake.
3. Practice personal responsibility and self-discipline. It helps to realize that you are responsible for your choices, behavior, reactions. That way, you won't blame other people for your own choices and expect others to make them for you.
4. Practice self-respect. It's normal to respect your needs, to put yourself first. and set personal boundaries.
5. Set a goal for yourself. Having goals that you want to achieve is a kind of “antidote” to the feeling of futility, according to psychologists.
