Are you feeling low lately? Does criticism easily pull you down or hurt you? Is professional or personal failure leading you to self-pity? If yes, its time you snapped out of it. While introspection and self-analysis is good, feeling bad about oneself, leads to low self-esteem, insecurities, and complexes, which further lead to poor mental health. Book yourself for personal counseling or plan to avail the best family counselling in Delhi to ensure you sail through the bad phase with your head held high.

In addition to the counselling here are five ways to boost your morale and feel better about yourself. Try these:

 

#1. Have faith in yourself

Whenever the going gets tough, never loose sight of who you are and what your capabilities are. Remind yourself that you have sailed through tough times in the past as well and you have the ability to do beat the bad times now as well.

Never let your faith in your own abilities dwindle. Instead, reinforce positive thinking. Meditation and deep breathing are a few techniques that help one relax, de-stress, and think straight.   

Analyze your situation from a neutral standpoint, assess your givens, and take professional help if required. This will help you figure out the best strategy and maintain positive mental energy.

 

#2. Accept failure and disappointment as part of life

It is vital to understand that no one’s life is perfect. Even the most successful people have had their fair share of difficulties. They are successful because they found ways to deal with their personal or professional failures. That is only possible when we accept setbacks as part of our journey and do not let them pull us down.

Instead, use these setbacks and failure to create a learning opportunity for yourself, strengthen your skills, and move forward yet again with even more determination.

 

#3. Train your mind not to be too harsh on yourself

Often, when one faces failure, either personally, professionally, or when one’s child is not doing too well, or the marriage is on the rocks; it is common to find people blaming themselves and getting into the self-critical mode.

This is not required. Even when you have made a mistake, do not let failure define you and guide you. Everyone makes mistakes, but in order to improve your self worth it is important to first forgive yourself for the mistakes you made and step forward from there on.

Whenever then in life, you are faced with similar situations, and you remember not to make the same mistakes again, congratulate yourself, for you have truly learnt!

 

#4. Reinforce positive thinking

It is not possible to always stay positive during difficult times. However, it is important to identify the times when your mind dwindles towards negative thoughts and learn to pull it back towards positivity, self-reliance, and confident thinking.

Remember, negativity breeds negativity. When you nip it in the bud, it helps you consider and identify different strategies to get back on track with an open mind.

 

#5. Limit your expectations and keep them real

Keep an open and objective mind when you set expectations from yourself and your relationships. While having desires and targets can be motivating, unrealistic expectations can be severely damaging as well. They create unwarranted pressures on oneself and one’s relationships.

Therefore, learn to check your desires and limit yourself within your means to stay positive always. For any professional help, guidance and the best family counselling in Delhi contact Sanjay Kapoor Counselling Services.
