Self-esteem Tips

Written By Lydia Salerno

This valentines, show yourself some love

Our self-esteem is how we think and feel about ourselves. This includes:

  • Whether we like the person that we are

  • What we think of our abilities, strengths and weaknesses.

  • How strongly we believe we can be successful at what we do.

High self-esteem

We tend to feel positive about ourselves and our abilities

Low self-esteem

We tend to see ourselves in a more negative light

Low self-esteem can develop at any time in life-it might come from difficult events, experiences or beliefs.

There are things you can do to help improve how you think and feel about yourself.

 

Strategy

Know your strengths

Every single one of us has value, strengths and positive qualities. Despite the views we may have, we deserve to feel good about ourselves and enjoy life.

Try to remind yourself of all the positive qualities that you have. This can feel difficult so imagine you’re talking to a friend – what would you say to encourage them?

Once a week, record 4 or 5 things that you did with the positive qualities you displayed. This can give you a confidence boost and help balance your perspective.
