How to Work on Your Self-esteem (自尊心)

At about six years old, my mum was brushing my hair one morning before school when I asked her a question. "Am I ugly?" I asked, looking at her and my reflection in the mirror before me. She said no, and asked me where this question was coming from. I told her a boy in my class had called me ugly on the playground.

That was the first time I remember feeling bad about myself. But that was just the beginning of a very long and troubled relationship with myself. That boy on the playground was for from the last person to call me ugly. He was certainly not the last person to make me question my sense of self. I know I'm not alone in feeling this way, and you might have a similar story about the first time you ever wondered aloud or quietly whether or not you were "ugly", whether you were "not smart", or whether you were a "bad person". So here are some tips (建议) to anyone who has ever wondered what to do about long-lasting low self-esteem.

Challenge your negative thoughts

Negative (负面的) thoughts can make you believe that many of the terrible things you've thought about yourself are true. Every time you think or say something negative about yourself challenge it by telling yourself of something you did well or succeeded in.

You shouldn't believe everything you think. If you often find yourself expecting the worst, you might form a way of thinking that isn't quite right. Researchers suggest paying attention to your way of thinking, and thinking it over again if you notice you're often too hard on yourself.

Keep an achievements journal

Every day, write down the things you did well or achieved that day in your journal. This could be anything from finishing a task at workplace to making your own lunch— whatever you feel proud of.

You can also use the journal to keep track (追踪) of different feelings you're experiencing, finally steering (引导) it back to some positives. You can write down a few things you like about yourself as well. It may feel strange at first, but you'll feel more comfortable when you practise it more.

Avoid comparing yourself to others

It's really hard to avoid comparing yourself to others—especially if you spend much time on social media. If you' re worried about social media's influence on your self-esteem, unfollow what makes you feel bad about yourself.

You should tell yourself that life isn't a competition. Every person is valuable and has his own successes and failings. The only person you need to compare yourself to is you.

(1)  Why did the writer feel bad about herself for the first time?
(2)  What does the writer suggest writing in a journal to deal with low self-esteem?
(3)  ①Which tip do you think is the easiest one to follow?

②Is the tip useful to people with long-lasting low self-esteem? Why or why not?

    Many other people and I in Britain love charity shops because we can find them on every street.The charity shops sell all kinds of things and they are very cheap.

The first charity shop was opened by Oxfam in 1947.Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK.My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Cross Shop.There I always find children's books,all 10 to 20 pence each.They are really cheap.

    Most of the shop workers in charity shops are volunteers,    each shop has a manager and he gets some money.Every morning you see bags of things outside the shops.Some people bring and put them there without waiting for thanks.In fact,over90%of the things in charity shops are from kind people.

    All the money the shops get goes to charity work.Charity shops raise more than 110 million pounds every year.The money is for sick and poor children。homeless and disabled people,and many others.In a charity shop you can get cheap but nice things.You might even feel special while shopping.

   If possible,let's do something for charity together.
