in these difficult times, surely we& #39;ve all faced moments where we feel unmotivated or insecure about ourselves. here are a few simple ways to tackle that:

[a thread]

most tips are from yours truly including some from Jack Canfield& #39;s Podcast "Focus On the Positive"
1) keep a log of your successes and victories

there& #39;s nothing wrong about keeping track of the great things you& #39;ve done. it doesn& #39;t even have to be something that made a major difference to society. maybe you did one KBAT add question by yourself today? or maybe you woke up ++
earlier than usual and had a productive day? either way, writing it down in a notebook or keeping it in your phone& #39;s Note app will help in showing YOU that you have done great things in the past. you don& #39;t have to feel bad for not bringing a major difference now ++
because one day you surely will make a difference.
2) ask for acknowledgement

from the get-go, you might think that this will contribute to & #39;riak& #39;, but personally, i don& #39;t think that& #39;s the case. asking for people to acknowledge your efforts will help to really boost your self-esteem. talking from experience, ++
trying to work without acknowledgement gets harder and harder each time. maybe with teachers it& #39;s more difficult, but there& #39;s nothing wrong with asking for it from a good friend. for example, tell a friend:

& #39;hey! today i cooked by myself and i think i did a pretty good job& #39; ++
not only are YOU acknowledging what YOU did, but the friend plays a large role in making you realise that you did something for yourself. additionally, people may argue that not all friends are supportive, but that& #39;s why & #39;asking for acknowledgement& #39; should come occasionally, ++
you should remember to ask for it, but not ask for it all the time :)

3) keep track of said acknowledgements

similar to the first technique, keeping track of the acknowledgements you get helps a lot in boosting your confidence and self esteem. every time someone says that ++
you did well? screenshot it and save it in an album. i do this myself, and it has helped a lot whenever you have those lonely nights where your negative thoughts seem to consume you.
that& #39;s all i have for now, unfortunately :( i myself have gone through a lot throughout MCO and not having friends around has made it even more difficult. i hope that this thread can be of help to anyone out there who needs it.
