Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

I do my best to not judge other people. If I get hook in this game, sometimes I do, I immediately withdraw my attention to something else. Why? Because to judge others is to put yourself in a place were you are thinking that you are better than them, which is not a healthy self esteem .

I do exercise almost every day, if cannot go outside and run, I go to the gym. This makes me feel not only good about myself, but to become aware that I am doing something for me that I like.

Step3

I try not to take personally other’s people criticism. I know that if come across to somebody that criticizes me is not about me, is about him or her. Is another way for the person to feel better putting me down. I try to take criticism as a feedback, and see if I can learn something from it. This is a healthy self esteem
