When you have moments when you suffer from low self-esteem what do you do to bounce back and feel better?

Writing about my negativity (journaling) helps. It helps organize my thoughts and helps me understad what direction I should take in life, whether it's love, career, family and loved ones, or the things I want to do in my life.

Sometimes, just letting yourself ride out those negative emotions is best. Play some sad or melancholic music that makes you feel it's you against the world and be as angry, sad, or frustrated as you want. Emotions aren't forever. Life is a roller coaster of emotions.

[thegreenyogi]

I use writing and music too amongst other things.

[HawkPerception]

Ah I forgot working out too. I do that when I feel angry or frustrated with my own weakness though

[HawkPerception]

Or a walk to my cliff point secret spot 😂

[thegreenyogi]

I workout and hike a lot too. Lol!

[HawkPerception]

I genuinely think we're similar in a lot of ways. Except I'm more judgmental and hateful than you lol

[thegreenyogi]

Lol!! I agree. Your being judgmental and hateful is not so bad but it's a difference. But yeah we're very similar which is certainly a positive!!

I don't have moments of low self esteem. I try to maintain clear standards for myself and honest an assessment of my abilities / conduct and I don't let anyone influence that. Disagree all you want. I don't care.

[thegreenyogi]

Why would I disagree?

[OneViewpoint]

Not you specifically, LOL. The metaphorical "you", any other person. Just saying I try to have a reality based view of myself and don't allow other people to shatter my self esteem.

Better wording?

[thegreenyogi]

Lol!! Yes that's better wording.

Spend time with myself. Embark on a big project that will keep my mind busy. Listen to music. Read a book that's been sitting on the shelf for way too long. Go for a walk in the woods. And ultimately, rely on my friends and family to help me over the whole thing.

I don't really have self-esteem issues unless it's appearance related. For instance, I struggle with facial bloating but once I get that under control, I don't really feel negative.

[petitedollbabee]

I just wait it out. Low self esteem usually stems from a specific incident for me, so I just wait until that incident blows over and is forgotten about.

[Nikki1989]

You just need the inner strength and motivation to keep moving forward. Some people just don't have it.

[LiamJHayden]

I don't really have moments like that. I do recognize that I have limitations and work within those. For example, I can run a five minute mile, but I know that I cannot run a four minute mile and accept that.

@thegreenyogi reruns on youtube of Mr bean, Seinfeld, Simpsons, family guy , etc - or religion

[aaron13547]

I like to go jogging. Nothing makes me feel more accomplished as quick as I can run a 5k lol.

[DrPepper12]

Retail therapy. I remind myself that this life is the only ride and a one way ride at that! I deserve nice shit goddamn it!!

[Shiprex]

I try some stress strategies to reset my mind

[Ironco]

I just sit back and listen to other people's problems and think to myself, I'm not that fucked up. Thank God

[jahaims]

I don't have any reason to have low self-esteem.

[thegreenyogi]

Good for you.

[Agape93]

You can bounce back?

[Anonymous]

I usually meditate, listen to music, or I read.

[thegreenyogi]

Same here.

[Anonymous]

What makes you think that any of us get over that?

[thegreenyogi]

I think you can get over it...

[Opinion Owner]

It's nice that you think that. Too bad it's not true.

[thegreenyogi]

I'm sorry you feel that way.

[Opinion Owner]

me too.
