Taking the First Step
Self-esteem refers to the way you perceive and value yourself. It encompasses your beliefs, feelings, and thoughts about your worth and capabilities. Healthy self-esteem allows you to embrace challenges, build positive relationships, and navigate life’s ups and downs with confidence.
Common Signs of Low Self-Esteem
Low self-esteem can manifest in various ways, including:
-
Negative Self-Talk: Frequent self-criticism or harsh judgments about yourself.
-
Fear of Failure: Avoid new challenges due to fear of not succeeding.
-
Difficulty Accepting Compliments: Dismissing praise or feeling undeserving.
-
People-Pleasing: Constantly seeking approval from others at the expense of your own needs.
Low self-esteem can affect multiple areas of your life, including:
-
Relationships: Struggling to establish boundaries or feeling unworthy of love and respect.
-
Work and Career: Hesitating to pursue opportunities or feeling inadequate in your role.
