Anyone else have random days of low self esteem? Some days I do and I hate it because I feel like I’m failing at leveling up. what are some remedies to this?
I do EFT when I feel badly in any way. Plenty of free videos on YouTube that describe how to do it. I like Brad Yates, Pam Wright, and Julie Schiffmann, especially.
Sure, I think we all do. I try to do something fun or productive when that happens. This gives me a sense of achievement, which helps my self-esteem when I'm feeling low.
Have you heard of the HAT model? H = healing; A = achievement; T = transcendence. Some days are healing days. They're days reserved for treating yourself with kindness. Mute that horrible voice in your head by looking in the mirror and telling yourself you're not having any of that nonsense today 🙃

You are not failing. Don't even have that in your vocabulary. You are a human being doing the best you can each day. Practice self-compassion regularly. Kristen Neff wrote a book called "Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself." You need an abundance of love, tenderness, and compassion for yourself. You are trying to undo a lifetime of social conditioning. You're living in a world that harbors terrible hatred for women. Accept that everything is cyclical and impermanent. Even your best days won't last forever. On the flip side, your worst days won't last forever either. You'll go through periods when you feel low. Identify them and put a plan in place to cope better with them. Maybe list out things that bring you joy and make you feel good. When you're feeling low, turn to that list. Write down things you love about yourself. Journal your feelings. Talk to a friend. Remember that this will pass. Do not give up on yourself. Banish the whole idea of perfection or living up to certain impossible standards. You're doing what a lot of people will never do--you're working on yourself and trying to grow. That alone is commendable.
Healing and levelling up won't be linear progress.
I have days like that too, and I try to focus on gratitude, controlling my mind/thoughts to stay positive. I also try to be conscious of my worst impulses so I can avoid doing stuff I'll regret when I feel better. Also, accepting that some days are just "meh" has helped me a lot. On those days, I still exercise, eat a decent meal and do my regular routine because it helps me feel grounded and accomplished. Hope this helps.
My mistakes are what keep me going forward.That said I still think about how stupid some of those mistakes with those losers were, but I also know some of that blame is not with me, it's with them and our stupid system of misogyny. You are not a robot. You are allowed to feel what it is you feel. If someone tells you differently aside from yourself, that is on them. Their perception of you has nothing to do with you. Just food for thought.
Be kind to yourself . Life is not perfect and we are not robots some days will be harder than others . I still cry a bit for my wasted time I gave to scrotes . Sit with this feeling for a moment we gotta feel every bit of this feeling so we can move on and write a new chapter in our lives . We are all humans after all .
Yes, I don’t know what happens. Just wake up and feel like this. Other days levelling up, even thought it’s a journey, feels like it’s okay as it’s happening.

Remember everyday is a win no matter how small 😊💗
I have the same issue. Lately I have been doing some type of self care every day. Like reading a book, giving myself a facial, etc. Its been nice.
I update my every day mantras and address the new aspects of me I feel insecure about then I read them once a day while drinking coffee the morning.
I've been doing it for 2 years and it has positive short and long term effects.

Let yourself off the hook.

Sorry no remedies- I haven't figured it out!
You've got this 💪🏼
