Changing yourself and getting a higher level of results starts with changing your thoughts. After you change your thoughts, your actions will change and the results you will get will also improve.Here are some of the most important things you have to know about how to direct your thoughts to reach higher levels of success:Your thoughts will help you reinvent your personality, start building self esteem and become empowering.It's important to reinvent yourself and your life regularly. People have the tendency to do the same things every single day. They get into their habits and routines. It's nothing wrong with having success-oriented habits. But most people have habits and routines that do not bring high levels of success to them.
Building Self Esteem.The Elderly are very vulnerable when they are at the mercy of a Nursing Home. If the Elderly are used to living at the Home and have a strong personality then they will feel reassured about speaking out and having self-esteem. But if they are new to the Nursing Home, or have a change in their care plan needs because of their own health then it is most likely that their Self Esteem will need to be reassessed.
Finally, an athlete should be encouraged to critique himself, instead of waiting for a coach or parent to do it. This will boost confidence and self esteem by teaching the athlete that they are ultimately responsible for their performance. If they aren't happy with the way they are performing, then they should do something proactive about it. Instead of directly telling the athlete how to improve, ask the athlete if there is anything about their performance that they would like to change, and then invite the athlete to offer suggestions for how those changes can be implemented. In this way, the athlete is taught that he or she is strong enough and smart enough to recognize his or her own faults and improve as necessary.Confidence and self esteem in young athletes can sometimes be a challenge to build and is often too easy to destroy. Those who interact with children on a regular basis must remember that a few words can go a long way in the mind of a child or teen. When discussing performance or ability with a young athlete, words should be chosen carefully, and improved performance should always be acknowledged, even if by only a few kind words.
Be careful about having too many assumptions. Assumptions can lead you astray. Assumptions are beliefs that you take for granted. This means that you don't question them and assume them to be true. People in general are pretty logical. They get into trouble when they assume certain wrong things to be true. Examine your more cherished beliefs and test them.The above ideas and principles will help you take control of your mind and direct your thoughts towards success. They require dedication, work, ambition and a lot of patience.I have posted an earlier article (7 self esteem boosters for children) which gives an outline of how the parent or the caregiver can help. Now I want to inform you on how to take action on the theory. I'll walk you though how I do it. You will be able to look over my shoulder and do the same.
Building Self Esteem in Elderly Nursing Home Patients takes time and team work. From the top of the management team to the AIN, EEN, RN, kitchen staff, laundry staff and also the cleaning staff. If the same view-point comes from the top of the staff to the bottom of the staff then it will shine through to all at the Nursing Home. The Patients will feel safe, will feel the love among the staff and will have their Self Esteem in tact.There was a study carried out to see the effects of Self Esteem on Nursing Home Residents which you can read by going to this page Geratic Nursing
The cornerstone of building self-confidence requires accepting responsibility for ones unhappiness and problems. Only then, can they be changed. A survey showed that lottery winners eventually returned to their original state of well-being. Winning the lottery or finding Mr. Right provides only temporary euphoria. Ultimately, it's self-esteem and our thoughts and actions that determine our sense of well-being.The rub is that when self-esteem is low, it's painful to take responsibility. People rather make excuses and blame others, since they already feel so bad. This is really annoying to those around them and creates problems in relationships.Sandy- always procrastinated and turned in her work late with a myriad of excuses, annoying her boss. When she was reprimanded, she resented her boss, blaming him, while her self-loathing grew. By encouraging her to take responsibility for her behavior and exploring her fears and self-criticism that fed her procrastination, she was able to change her habits. She discovered self-empowerment and began to feel good about herself, and she won her boss's appreciation, as well.
If you decide upon an activity, where you have an interest or its something you have always wanted to do, then even better.We're located close to a beach here in Finland so we decided together to try windsurfing this summer. Our two boys are just beginning their teenage years and are good swimmers.What resources or support do you need to carry out the activity? For sand castle building you just need to find a couple of buckets and spades, and you are set to go. For vegetable plot creation there will be more materials to obtain: timber, soil, young plants, protective netting etc.For windsurfing, I needed to check the local beaches and find a windsurfing school who could provide lessons and rent equipment. So again there is planning to do before you can try the activity. Again you can do some internet research together. You will be surprised at how fast they can obtain the required information. Again, this is another activity promoting responsibility and greatly assists in building self esteem in children.
Keeping promises to yourself is as important as keeping promises to others. We all know how it feels to be disappointed when someone does not keep their word. When you give yourself your word, and do not follow through, your spirit is disappointed. If you do it enough, you find yourself in a self fulfilling prophecy that says "See, nothing ever works out for me, I told you it wouldn't".You are probably familiar with the feeling that comes with the victory of following through on a successful mission. Ask someone who has quit smoking or lost 20 pounds. They kept promises to themselves and saw results. Now think about the times you told yourself you were going to do something and didn't. It wasn't the forces of nature working against you. It was you letting yourself down. That's a withdrawal.
People feel more effective when they take action, and action-oriented people tend to have higher self-esteem. They take action despite how they feel. They don't wait passively for things to change or expect others to change their lives. Although self-awareness of thoughts and feelings is important, if it preempts action, it can undermine self-efficacy, and ultimately self-esteem. Keep in mind that action requires attention directed toward solving a problem, and includes journaling, expressing feelings, making a list, obtaining information, writing a letter, thinking through a problem, making a statement or decision, or even changing your attitude.Think about an area in your life where your self-esteem is low. How could you take more self-responsibility? What specific, small step would generate a greater sense of self-efficacy and make you feel better about yourself?
