Fact: even individuals who radiate confidence on the outside can still have low self-esteem.

  • Discover boosting techniques – banish feelings of inadequacy by indulging in exercises and hobbies that exhilarate you

  • Give other people a break – understand when a compliment is a compliment and take criticism constructively

  • Go all-out – reassess your day-to-day priorities and map out what you really want from life
