Loosid Sober Tip of the Day July 4th

How do we get back our self- esteem?

This is a very common question with a very simple answer.

In our active addiction, self-esteem is one of the first things to go. How do we gain back our self-esteem? By doing esteemable acts.

Focus each day to doing an esteemable act. Reach out to a friend who you know is struggling and simply let them know you are thinking about them and they are not alone.

Go up to a homeless person an offer to buy them a cup of coffee or sandwich if you can afford it.

Ask the cashier at the store their name. Wish them a great day.

We tend to severely underestimate the power of simply recognizing a person and acknowledging them as an equal. Why? Because we are all equal.

Little acts of self-esteem will build momentum. Before you know it, you will be beaming with self-esteem.

Getting involved, doing good deeds, feeling like you are a part of something bigger than yourself builds self esteem and self confidence sometimes without you being aware. All of a sudden you're like, wow I've got this and I'm worth something to others. I can fill a need. Little by little you will gain your self esteem back.

Volunteering is a great way to do esteemable acts. I always feel like I get more our of it than I give. It is also a great way to concentrate on something other than “self”.
