The reason is that all these steps are practical as they have assisted me to boost my self-esteem by conquering an inferiority complex. Here are some strategies to help you.

1. Focus On Your Strength. 

When do we feel inferior to others? You feel imperfect when you focus on your weaknesses, failures, and disabilities. The moment you focus on your disabilities, you invite negative thoughts. As a result, life becomes complex and you remain a failure.

It would be best if you remember that every person has positive qualities, achievements and strengths. So, it is time to shift your attention to these positive achievements. This is the most practical method to get rid of an inferiority complex.

To focus on your strengths, you need to know them. Make a list of your positive thoughts, skills, and achievements and remind yourself of them regularly. This will help you to boost your self-esteem. Your self-esteem and self-confidence help you counter the feelings of an inferiority complex.

2. Accept The Feeling. 

The first step to conquering this feeling is to be aware of this inferiority complex. You should acknowledge this feeling of inferiority without any judgement.

Understand that many people experience this emotion. So, you are not alone. Some of them have conquered them. So, there is a strong possibility.

It is normal to have self-doubt and low self-esteem from time to time. Accept your feeling of inferiority and work on it to be free from this emotion.

3. Challenge Negative Thoughts. 

Whenever you feel that you are thinking negatively, just question your thoughts. When you examine your thoughts, you understand them. Ask yourself if those thoughts are based on reality or if they are just your beliefs. Negative thoughts are often irrational and not based on reality.

If you challenge your negative thoughts, you get a way to get rid of these thoughts. It is the most proven method to conquer the inferiority complex.

4. Do Your Work.

Your duty is your worship. You should never ignore your duty. You have to do your job even if the situations are the worst. Sometimes, we feel depressed and worried and we stop working. The moment you neglect your duty, you become inferior. After that, when you come back to your work, you lack something.

So, never ignore your duty or job if worse situations come. Suppose, you are a teacher and you are facing the low phase of your life. Now you are not wishing to teach because you are depressed. But the best thing will be that you have to teach in your bad phase of life.

If you do your duty to the best, you will have satisfaction in your heart. That satisfaction would make you happy and gives you success. So, if you do your work, you can deal with the inferiority complex easily.

5. Start Meditating.

Meditation creates a connection between body, mind and soul. This process makes you a better human being. Meditation unfolds the secrets of this being.

You know that you are not a tiny little part of this universe,

you are the whole universe.

You take care of your physical, mental and emotional well-being. Self-care becomes crucial for you and you come to know that your problems are so small to your existence. And then conquering this feeling of inferiority complex becomes easy for you.

Meditation is the only way that helps you to understand your true existence. And that understanding sets your free from any kind of fear and desire.

6. Look At Nature.

Nature is the source of anything.
She provides us with life-changing benefits.

We all are the children of nature. Nature is our mother. She always thinks about our well-being. So, we should stay close to mother nature to live a happy and peaceful life.

Similarly, whenever you face any problem, you should come closer to nature. Either you learn from nature or observe nature as she has remedies for all problems.

See how nature is working just to make our lives better. She only gives us. Mother nature does not wish anything in return for that.

For example, the sun gives energy and it burns itself to give us energy and life but it does not pray for anything from us.

When you look at nature, you see that every element is doing its duties. They never compare themselves. They all are similar. That’s why they don’t have an inferiority complex.

Whenever you nurture negative thoughts or an inferiority complex, look at mother nature and you will get the solutions to your problems.

7. Learn New Things. 

Learning new things makes you a more acceptable and valuable person. You can get success easily if you make learning your habit.

The more you learn the better is it. Additionally, this world is the reflection of god; to understand the truth of god, you have to learn more. Learning new things means learning more than your acquired knowledge. It means discovering different dimensions of your life and that of the world.

So, learn new things to live a better life and get rid of the inferiority complex.

8. Upgrade Your Skills. 

We feel more depressed because of our careers. If you grow in your career, you feel a stream of happiness flowing in your heart. It makes you happy and peaceful. Your career satisfaction makes your personal and professional life well-balanced.

But when you can not grow in your life, you feel anxious and depressed. Your personal and professional life becomes imbalanced. That creates all the problems.

To solve this problem upgrade your skills regularly. If you elevate your skills regularly, you are ready to accept any kind of challenge. Now, you are not afraid of change rather you are ready to embrace the change.

When a person loves to be changed, he would never face any kind of low or inferior feeling in his life.

9. Know Yourself. 

Knowing yourself means knowing the true identity of yourself. It means to know that you are not the body but you are something that lives in this body. You are not a very little part of this universe, you are the whole universe.

When you start knowing yourself, you know that you are the creator of this universe. You understand that you can do anything you wish to do. You have immense power which can create or destroy this universe.

If you know yourself, your life becomes happy and peaceful. You live this life to the fullest. And then an inferiority complex can never dominate you.

10. Find A Support System.

True friends make us happy
And filled life with happiness.

To deal with an inferiority complex, you need to find a support system. You can reach out to supportive friends, family members or mental health professionals to get rid of this negative feeling.

You can not solve all your problems alone always. So, sometimes you need to take help from the others. But don’t feel ashamed of taking help from others.

Sometimes, talking about your experience and make others concerned and they can provide you with valuable insights and perspective. So, seek support and professional help if needed.

Life is so short and fragile. So, don’t waste it feeling negative. Enjoy this life to the fullest and enjoy every moment of your life.
