Prepare a handy list of your positives - positive traits, accomplishments, skills or feedback - whatever it is that you are most proud of. Positive lists are covered in greater detail in the self esteem worksheets section.

Read the list to yourself everyday, first thing in the morning. Don't just read it - but visualize and spend a couple of seconds on each item in the list, savoring the pride that you may feel.

Set achievable personal goals - on a daily, weekly or monthly basis - and work on meeting those goals in the allotted time frame.

These goals shouldn't be too easy that they don't challenge you at all. At the same time, neither should they be too difficult that it is impossible meet them in your allotted time, leading to negative effect on self esteem.

Getting up in time to have breakfast at home, rather than in the car or skipping it entirely, can be your weekly goal. Or going out for running in the evenings, at least three times a week, can be your monthly goal.

Tracking the progress of your success on each goal, can help you stay motivated towards working on other goals.

Spend time doing things for yourself that you enjoy doing, or those that you are good at doing, at least few times a week.

Tasks that require using some of our physical and intellectual skills - like gardening, cooking or getting organized - give us a sense of pride and satisfaction in working and completing them, and that does its bit in giving a good lift to our self esteem.

A new language or computer software, a new skill like carpentry or knitting, or a new ability like say, driving a manual transmission car - are few examples.

While this may not necessarily be one of the free self esteem activities, there are a lot of things that can be learned with minimal expense - by reading the how-to information from a local library or internet, or taking a free course about them in the local community college. Learning new things is also a good way for improving memory.

Every now and then, make it a habit of rewarding yourself - guilt free - for a good deed you have done, or for achieving a goal you have set for yourself, or for learning a new skill or task.

The "reward" does not necessarily have to stretch your budget. It could be a something simple like going to your favorite restaurant that you have been putting off. Or watching that movie at home that you really enjoy, but were unable to make time for, because "there were things to do".

Such a pleasure derived purely out of the feeling of helping out others in need is immeasurable, and needs to be experienced personally to appreciate the effect it can have on us in improving self esteem.

Make it a point to spend time regularly with people who use the power of positive thinking in having a positive outlook in life, and those that value you for who you are.

Spending time with people who you know genuinely like you and care about you, nourishes and nurtures our own image we hold of ourselves, and that is invaluable in perking up our self esteem.

The converse of this is to avoid those that you know to be typically mean, and seem to get their kicks in putting you down.

And last but not the least, physical exercises are great way to feel better about ourselves, and improve our self image.

For one, our physique will improve which is a good reason to feel good about ourselves; but additionally, there is something about sweating it out, that in itself improves our sense of accomplishment and self worth.

Exercise is one of the free self esteem activities that has other side benefits - it is one of the recommended ways to deal with stress, and also aids in memory improvement.

A regular regimen of some simple things like weights, push ups, aerobics or simple running can be done at home or maybe a nearby park, without necessarily joining an expensive gym.

In addition to the above free self esteem activities, there are also plenty of general tips and ideas for improving self esteem on this website.

Consistently following the self esteem exercises and tips will provide the necessary push to keep a positive self esteem in the long run, for a long time to come.

Another activity that could be well-worth the money you spend on it, and can do wonders to your self esteem, is Trans4Mind's Home-study personal development course Start a New Life!

Start a New Life! is based on principles that were endorsed by experts in the field, and that have helped thousands of people improve their self esteem over the years.
