DEVELOPING YOUR SELF-ESTEEM.

DEVELOPING YOUR SELF-ESTEEM.

Self-esteem is how much confidence you have in yourself. It is your overall opinion of yourself. It is the belief about your worth. For example, if you have a low self-esteem you are constantly afraid of making mistakes or you do something out of fear of what others might say, and therefore do not behave confidently.

Self-esteem is how much confidence you have in yourself.

Low self-esteem is when you lack confidence about who you are and what you can do. You place little or no value on yourself. You have difficulty in accepting positive feedbacks.

Healthy self-esteem is the realistic thought about yourself. You feel confident about yourself. Feeling superior is not a sign of healthy self-esteem, it portrays insecurities. 

WHERE DOES SELF-ESTEEM STEM FROM?

- PEOPLE: People often pass different comments on what they feel about us. Both the positive and negative words said stick to us and we tend to just accept whatever is said about us. It doesn't have to be that way. 

- VOICES IN YOUR HEAD: First, some words come to your head and with your mouth those words are verbalized. The things you say to yourself play a big role in how you feel about yourself. Thoughts like, "I'm not good enough", "I'm such a failure" hurts and damages your self-esteem. Instead, you can think about yourself this way, "I'll do better next time", "I can do it if I put my mind into it".  Learn to think better about yourself.

WITH HEALTHY SELF-ESTEEM YOU BECOME:

- Assertive in your communication.

- Confident.

- More realistic with people.

And you have the ability to withdraw from toxic relationships.

HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR SELF-ESTEEM:

- Use positive affirmations on yourself.

- Build positive relationships.

- Become more assertive about your needs.

- Avoid negative self talks.

- Do not compare yourself with others but rather accept yourself.
