 I have what people say is a very "low self esteem" but as a Christian, I realise that having a low self esteem is not something God wants for anyone. You must learn to accept who you are and be thankful to God for who you are and accept the things you cant change about yourself and dont every try to change and be someone else. God made you as you because that is how he wanted you to be, love yourself and continue to love who you are and be happy with you. I have tried so many times to change who I am, I changed the texture of my hair, so I could appear more beautiful to men, I changed the way I speak, just to name a few. Love yourself as YOU.
Take care. xXx

 As someone who runs a self esteem group for women, I can say that it isn't something that happens overnight and it takes a lifetime to maintain a high feeling of self esteem.
First look at what you expose yourself to. Example, the people you hang out with, your family, your co-workers, schoolmates etc. Really pay attention to what they say to you and better yet, pay attention to how you react in situations.
Women have this way of blamming their low self esteem on everyone and everything around you...you have no control over what someone says to you essentially, so let's look at what is happening within yourself in a tough situation.
Be firm on your boundaries, if someone steps over one, let them know they did so. Be considerate in doing this....ASSERTIVENESS is the key here, do some reasearch on what being assertive is and how you can develop your skills and become more assertive.
Positive affirmations work wonderfully if you believe them. Tell yourself how wonderful you are, writer down reasons that you know are true and keep them with you all the time so you can easily review them.
There are a lot of things involved in increasing one's self-esteem but it can most definitely be done and the journey is well worth the end result. It involves a lot of self learning and education about dealing with others. There is no simple way, my advice to you is to check out if there are any groups in your area, or do some research on the net...an extremely valuable resource.
Good luck and you deserve to do this for yourself!

Has anything happened in your life to make you feel lower than you should? If so take things a step at a time you cant ask for a miracle but start doing things you want to do that you wouldnt normally do. Gradually you'll find your self-esteem shall rise and soon you mite even turn into someone more upbeat i hope ive helped you

 Build a life of things that you love doing, and become good at those things. That will at least get you a solid base to work from.Next is to learn about who you are, come to a conclusion as to what you think about things, and know what you want.Then work on yourself to attract what it is you have decided you want. By the time you get to this step, you will already have good esteem...it is the process that gives it to you, not the goal.At least, this is what worked for me.-Frank B Kermit
