Important info to remember

Create an invisible wall around you in order to protect the sanctity of your being. Strengthen your beliefs and strive to move positively in a forward and more successful direction. Do not allow yourself to be caught in self doubt and conflicting ideals which others try forcing onto you. In simple terms, learn to ignore negative and damaging comments made against you. At the back of your mind, adopt the notion that people are entitled to their own opinions but equally you too have the right to filter or discard negatively targeted opinion.

Be open to constructive criticism. This is generally good for self improvement and indirectly helps you to become a more fruitful and stable person. Building on and improving your weaknesses is the best way to avoid feeling inferior. Focusing on managing your weaknesses helps prevent negative or emotionally draining accusations and comments from being made or from dragging you down. Weigh the situation objectively and decide for yourself the outcomes of such criticism.

Work closely with people who make you feel good about yourself. People who offer encouragement and embrace you as essentially human are precious and rare. Enjoy their wisdom and nourish yourself from their example, while striving to become stronger and more reliant on yourself in the process. Greater independence leads to more self confidence. A healthy self confidence in turn allows you less dependence or reliance on others for determining your self worth.

Love yourself enough, but not to the point of arrogance. Reward yourself, showing appreciation and respect for your own uniqueness and potential positives you have accomplished and hope to accomplish. Self sacrificial behavior can be good to a point but not where it causes you to be exhausted, frustrated, or taken advantage of. (Truth! That's a good one)

Maintain a neutral stance by staying focused and keeping calm. Know your your own limitations and work well with your strengths. Steer clear of any person or situation that will drag you down emotionally and create doubt in your own capabilities as an individual.

Refrain from or avoid bitterness and anger. These negative emotions are energy draining and set you back, depleting your self esteem, wasting precious energy. Re-track your thoughts when angry and bitter, focusing on another starting point with the aim of succeeding and moving forward. Remember your self-worth and worry less.
