What makes you feel good about yourself?

Self-Esteem affects all parts of our personality.  If someone feels good about themselves, they are better able to meet and resolve their daily challenges.  They bounce back from problems quicker, and research has shown that they are both physically and mentally healthier people.

I find helping people to be one of the most important things I do to build my self-esteem.  Many people have discovered that service to others reduces self- preoccupation, distracts them from their problems and gives them greater energy.  There are many ways to serve others but voluntary community service is a good place to start.  Hospitals and other organizations need all the volunteers they can get.  Do you know someone who is homebound that could use a visit? 

How do you build your self-esteem?
What makes you feel good about yourself?
Where do you need help with this issue?

I look forward to reading your comments.
