What is Self esteem?
Self esteem means our opion about ourselves.High self esteem is a good opinion of ourself and low self esteem is a bad opinion of ourself.Your self esteem depends on many questions such as:* Do you believe you are successful?
* How do you see yourself (your self image)?
* How do you feel about your strengths and weaknesses?
What is Low Self Esteem?
-Low self esteem results from a poor self image.Your self image is based on how you see yourself. Do you think you are a good,reliable,hardworking,honest or friendly person?
-Low self esteem also depends on other factors like your job. For example,do you value the job you do? Does the job you have help you be happy with who you are?
-Low self esteem feeds your negative thinking and makes you believe negative comments others make. This can cause you to lose confidence so it is vital to end negative thoughts if you want to build your self esteem.
What is High Self Esteem?
-High self esteem is the opposite of the above! If you have a high level of self esteem you will be confident, happy, highly motivated and have the right attitude to succeed.
The Importance of Self Esteem
Self esteem is crucial and is a cornerstone of a positive attitude towards living.
It is very important because it affects how you think, act and even how you relate to other people. It affects your potential to be successful. Low self esteem means poor confidence and that also causes negative thoughts which means that you are likely to give up easily rather than face challenges. In addition, it has a direct bearing on your happiness and wellbeing. Read more about why self esteem is important.
Self Esteem is the Key to your Happiness and Well-being
-Building esteem is a first step towards your happiness and a better life. If you have low confidence or low self esteem you will find it impossible to be the person you could be and your happiness will be limited.
-Self esteem increases your confidence.If you have confidence you will respect yourself and then you can respect others,improve your relationships and become happier....this is not a selfish goal as you will contribute more and share yourself with the world and those around you.
-Low esteem causes depression, unhappiness, insecurity and low confidence. Other's desires may take preference over yours. Inner criticism, that nagging voice of disapproval inside you, causes you to stumble at every challenge and challenges seem impossible.
How to improve your esteem and confidence?
1.Face your fears - Challenges seem scary but your fears are usually exagerated. Facing your fears increases your confidence and boosts your esteem.
2.Forget your failures-learn from them. Avoid making the same mistakes again but don't limit yourself by assuming you failed before so you can't succeed this time.
3.Know what you want and ask for it.Learn about being assertive because you deserve your dreams to come true!
4.Reward yourself when you succeed.No-one else will!Isn't everything easier when you take time to help yourself? Make a list of your successes and focus on the positive things.
5.Talk- We often make assumptions about a situation or person which are not true. Your attitude and behaviour can be negatively affected so if you have any doubt or question,ask people and do not assume you know why or how.
