Ways to Rebuild Your Self Esteem After a Serious Setback

Setbacks can make us feel lost and confused. We can lose our identity and begin to question our self-worth. There are many ways to bounce back, boost your confidence, and start to build your self-esteem. Let’s take a look at a few ways you can get started.

Consider A Restyle

Happiness comes from within, but there is nothing wrong with treating yourself. Perhaps you’ve been thinking about getting a new haircut. Or you’ve wanted to try bold new clothes with colors and patterns that take you out of your comfort zone.

Rebuild your self-esteem by doing things for yourself. If you’ve had a serious setback and your self-esteem is on the floor, give yourself a makeover to put you back in control of your life.

You can go small, with a haircut, or you can go wild. Get that piercing or those shoes you’ve always wanted to experiment with. You’ll find your self-esteem soar as you make decisions for yourself and enjoy looking after yourself.

Remember, a restyle isn’t for anyone else's benefit. It is entirely yours alone and you should do whatever you want to boost your spirits. Get a new start and embrace your true self.

Evaluate Your Happiness

There comes a point when we need to stop and consider our lives. Take some time to write down some thoughts. Are you happy with your job? Does your social life satisfy you? Do you enjoy the home you’ve created?

If there are doubts in your mind, it might be time to take back control.

Put together an action plan. After a setback, we can feel defeated. Don’t let that happen. Identify the areas in your life that aren’t giving you the satisfaction that you truly deserve and change them. Only you know what makes you happy.

Get Together With Friends

Friends can lift your spirits. They can offer a shoulder to cry on, sound advice when you need it, and fresh opinions and alternative points of view.

Don’t suffer alone. Grab some friends and go to your favorite bar or restaurant. Perhaps get everyone together for a house party or get-together. When trying to boost your self-esteem, it’s important to surround yourself with inspiring, supportive people.

Friends can help combat loneliness and anxiety simply by being there in tough times.

Find A New Challenge

Perhaps now is the time to push yourself. If you’ve always wanted a new job or a career change, maybe now is the time to recognize your worth and chase those goals.

Indulge in a new hobby that you might not have considered before. Make decisions to push yourself out of your comfort zone.

Simply challenging yourself every day, be it at work, in your social life, or getting out and trying something new will boost your self-esteem. It offers you fulfillment, contentment, and a bit of excitement.

Consider What You Are Grateful For

Grab a journal and write down a list of everything and everyone you are thankful for.

This will help you combat loneliness and give you a boost. You’ll see how valuable different parts of your life are and will be reminded of your value and importance.

Sometimes, we need to take a step back to remind ourselves we have a support network.

The journey to happiness is a long one but incredibly worthwhile. A knockback doesn’t have to close doors.

It can be an opportunity to reinvent, reinvigorate, and transform yourself into that bold person you always wanted to be.
