Having a balanced life is essential for all human beings, as
emotional intelligence is even more important than cognitive
intelligence. We must be able to control our minds instead of letting
them control us. Life has many obstacles to overcome, and that's why, in
today's article, we'll discover why writing about your self-esteem saves marriages.
Fortunately, there are ways to work on our self-esteem, and a good start is to write a journal. If you're not sure how to do it, stay tuned because today we'll tell you what you need to do.
How to work on your self-esteem through journaling
1. Write down your strengths
Low self-esteem is characterized by focusing more on your weaknesses and self-sabotaging yourself, making you feel like you're not good enough. That has to change. It's time to start recognizing your achievements, goals, things that have made you feel proud, situations you have overcome and learned from, etc.
2. Practice self-love
If you can't love yourself, you'll find it hard to love someone else fully. Work on it with the help of your journal. Write down one good thing about yourself every day and focus on the positive. Usually, we are much better than we think, but we're not aware of it until we see it in writing. Otherwise, the good things we do or how good we are are disregarded and undervalued by ourselves.
3. Identify your insecurities
Through your journal, you'll be able to detect your insecurities. You'll have to stop and think about what makes you feel that way, how it feels, and when you feel that way. Little by little, you'll understand the root of this problem because if we know the origin, we can attack the cause and not just the symptom.
4. Set new challenges
With low self-esteem, we experience depression. Therefore, what we need is to lift our spirits, our energy, and our vitality. To do that, you need to set new challenges, goals to overcome that you can be proud of. Don't fall into the comfort zone; challenge yourself because when you pressure yourself too much, you bring out the best in you. Push yourself, motivate yourself, you can do it!
In conclusion, having a healthy self-esteem is crucial not only for personal development but also for building and maintaining strong relationships, especially in marriage. Low self-esteem can create barriers and make it difficult to establish trust and maintain a natural flow in a relationship. Writing about your self-esteem is an effective way to work on improving it, and it can be as simple as keeping a journal. By recognizing your strengths, practicing self-love, identifying your insecurities, and setting new goals, you can boost your self-esteem and improve your overall well-being. Remember, it is never too late to start working on yourself, and small steps can lead to significant improvements over time.
