What will be an ideal response?


(1) Engage in positive self-talk. Your self-concept and level of self-esteem influence the way you to yourself about yourself. By using positive self-talk, you promote these concepts and enhance the way you feel. (2) Visualize. This technique helps you imagine yourself behaving in the manner you want to. Not only have you told yourself "I can do this" but now you visualize yourself doing it. (3) Reframe. Sometimes assessing something from a different point of view can provide you with fresh perspective and improve your self-esteem. (4) Develop honest relationships. It's important to have at least one relationship in which a person will give you honest and objective feedback. (5) Surround yourself with positive people. People who have a positive outlook can be "contagious" and spread that positive feeling to those around them. (6) Lose your baggage. Failure and disappointment happen to everyone. The key is to understand that those failures don't mean that the next thing you do will also fail.
