Hobbies

• Learn to play an instrument.
  
  Get a hobby. Doing something you enjoy boosts your self-esteem. You feel as though you are accomplishing a goal. Pick something you enjoy, not what you think others will praise you for. For instance if you have always wanted to learn to play the piano then do it. You can purchase a full size keyboard instead of a piano if you need to save space. Instructors usually offer lessons once a week in half an hour to full hour sessions.
  
  

Exercise

• Walk for a cause.
  
  Physical activity releases endorphins in the brain and gives that "feel good" mood. Motivate yourself by training for an event. Walk for a cause such as Breast Cancer Awareness or Muscular Dystrophy. This will do double duty to help you improve your self-assurance. Get a friend to train with you. You are more likely to dedicate yourself fully if someone is depending on you.
  
  

Learn something new

• Get smart.
  
  Stop cringing, it's not high school. Learn about what you want now. Enhancing your education will do wonders for your confidence. Even if you're not interested in a degree, there are vast selections of non-credit courses offered. Learn a new language or take a poetry class, indulge yourself in what you have always wanted to do.
  
  

Volunteer

• Volunteering
  
  Make the world a better place. Your heart will melt and your self-esteem will grow. What are you concerned or passionate about? Volunteering ensures confidence because you defend what you believe in. Whether you are an animal lover or empathetic toward your fellow man there are plenty of organizations you can volunteer for.
  
  

Get Started

• Everyone has unique abilities.
  
  Do not let negativity and lack of self-assurance hinder you from participating in these activities. The more you do the better you will feel. The key to enhancing your self-esteem is to be your exceptional self. Remember the brilliance of a snowflake is that every one is different.
