There are several theories on self confidence, but the final step to truly building self-esteem is to love yourself unconditionally. Treat yourself regardless of the circumstance. Start to challenge past negative experiences or messages by taking care of yourself in ways that show that you are precious, capable, lovable, and deserving.
10 Steps to TRULY BUILDING UP YOUR Inner SELF
1. Take Care of Your Basic Needs
This may seem obvious, but its often forgotten. Sleep! Eat Healthy! Get Exercise! Practice Cleanliness... you've probably heard it a thousand times, now do it!
2. Plan for Fun & Relaxation
Social time with friends, Movies, sports, massages, naps, prayer etc are all good ways to relax and have fun. Do more of the activities you enjoy.
3. Reward Yourself For Your Good Things You've Done
You could take the night off to celebrate good grades, spend time with a friend, or compliment yourself for making that hard phone call.

One way is to make a list of things you like about yourself. You can also keep a scrapbook of all your awards, certificates, photos, etc throughout the years.
5.Forgive Yourself When You Don't Do All You'd Hoped
Taking good care of yourself can be really hard if you are not used to doing it. Don't be critical of yourself. You are loved, and you have so much to offer the world.
