How to sustain your Self-esteem when times are tough - 1

How do you stay cool, composed, and sustain your self esteem in a tough environment? Here are some tips you may to consider as a starter guide to self improvement.

Imagine yourself as a dart board. Everything and everyone else around you may become dart pins at one point or another. These dart pins will tear down your self esteem and pull you down in ways you won't even remember. Don't let them destroy you or get the best of you. So which dart pins should you dodge?

Dart Pin #1: Negative Work Environment:

Beware of "dog eat dog" environments where everyone else is fighting just to get ahead. This is where non-appreciative people usually thrive. No one will be grateful for your contributions even if you miss lunch and dinner, and stay up late. Most of the time you work too much without getting help from people concerned. Stay out of this; it will ruin your self esteem.

Dart Pin #2: Other People's Behavior:

Bulldozers, brown nosers, gossipmongers, whiners, backstabbers, controllers, naggers, complainers, patronizers -- all these types of people will pose bad vibes for your self esteem, as well as to your self improvement scheme.
Dart Pin #3: Changing Environment:

Change challenges our paradigms. It tests our flexibility and adaptability, and alters the way we think. Change will make life difficult for awhile and may cause stress, but it will help us find ways to improve ourselves.
