SELF-ESTEEM


Self-esteem means how you feel about yourself. Having good self-esteem is great but low self-esteem causes problems. Self-esteem also mean thinking as highly of yourself as you think of your peers. Remember your level of self-esteem affects how you deal with people and situations. If you have high self-esteem, you see others as equals and co-workers ,not threats; but if your self-esteem is low, you see people as being threats. Self-esteem allows you to do good in everything that you set your mind on doing. Good self-esteem will allow you to want to have your work on time, do a good quality work and help others also achieve.
Self-esteem makes an essential contribution to the life process; which means it is indispensable to normal and healthy development. When we lack positive self-esteem our psychological growth is stunted. With low self-esteem we tend to avoid pain than to experience joy. Negatives have more power over positives. If we have good confident in ourselves, we tend to experience more challenges and opportunities that are available to us. Develop good self-esteem, not bad self-esteem.

  1. Identify troubling situations.
  2. Become aware of thoughts and beliefs.
  3. Challenge negative thinking.
  4. Adjust your thoughts and beliefs.
