Boost Your Self Esteem And Smile!

Meeting New People:

Why is meeting new people so hard for most of us? Talking to strangers can cause sweaty palms and foreheads while our hearts beat in our throats.

---Take "The Plunge" ---Change Your Life---

Maybe, you have low self esteem. A cruel parent, sibling, friend or spouse had been doing a job on your emotions.

Here are a few suggestions:

(a)Get out of the house.

(b)Get a job.

(c)Do volunteer work.

(d)Go back to school or take a fun class.

(e)Get a dog. ---Take it for daily walks.---It's great for your physical and mental health.--- Animals give a lot of love.

I needed a shove from a friend to get me out of the house. I couldn't do it myself. I took the plunge and have become a happier person because of it.

Volunteer Work:

This past year I have met more people than I have met in years. I joined a church and became involved in volunteer work. I now smile on the inside.

Churches and Temples depend on volunteers. As a volunteer, you are treated as royalty. Sometimes, when you volunteer, it can become a paying job. After all, the staff know you and your working habits. What else could a perspective employer want?

If you don't need to work or have no desire to return to school, there are many places waiting to grab you as a volunteer. The hospitals can always use another pair of hands. As a volunteer, you are a cherished part of that facility.

If you have school age children, volunteer working in the classroom or in the office. What a way to stay connected.The school and your children will love it.---You will love yourself.---Your self esteem will pop.

You Can Do It:

Keep your eyes and ears open. Something will jump out at you and say, "try me." Give yourself that push. It will be well worth the effort. The depression you have been living under will evaporate. Before, you know it you will be laughing, joking, and making friends, a social life will follow. After all your co-workers have the same interests as you.---Smile life is just getting better!
