1. Write down everything you like about yourself.

2. Write down things you'd like to change about yourself (and can), and work on the changes as best as possible.

3. Listen for compliments (And start to believe them).

4. Pamper yourself with new clothes, a walk in the lake, try a new restaraunt, or go see a new movie.

5. Seek out people that make you feel good about yourself.

6. Avoid the critical type of people.

7. Figure out somethings you do well and do them often.

8. Learn-Try a new skill or try a new hobbie.

9. Don't be afraid to use the word "I" and have it say what you feel. Examples Today I can accomplish anything I want to.
I deserve to be loved.
I will not stay home and think, I will get out of the house and enjoy life.
I feel good about myself.
I know Love, will find a way.

10. Treat your self with Respect, You've earned it.

Remember people it's not just Divorce that dents our self-esteem, it's the months or even years of a failing or bitter marriage that takes its toll on all of us. Now that Divorce is behind you, start thinking about yourself, I know from first hand experience people, I just finished my "More than 1 year being Divorced", so i just recently started to Date again, It's kinda my own personal Rule, give yourself Time at least 1 year after your Divorce to start Dating again, Just think about it do you really want to step back into a relationship so fast, we all need "Time" to heal. Im having alot of fun Dating again. Here is a song title that is very cool and that we all should practice, "I mean much more to me than I mean to anybody else." So people start Rebuilding your Self-Esteem and you're worth more to everyone who loves you, and everyone you love. Until next time be well and GodBless you all, your friend Mr.Truth2:)
