Building Self-Esteem 5 Steps: How To Feel "Good Enough" About Yourself: The Relationship Formula Workbook Series

Self-esteem is one of the most elusive goals in the human experience. We are often limited not by what others decide but by what we tell ourselves we can’t accomplish. We wouldn’t let others treat us so badly, so why do we do it to ourselves? Can this pattern be broken?

Absolutely. Identifying negative thoughts and understanding why they aren’t reflective of reality builds self-esteem. This easy-to-read workbook guides the reader through a five-step process for overcoming self-doubt and insecurity:

1. Identify specific triggers that make you feel poorly about yourself.

2. Tools for replacing negative with adaptive thinking.

3. Strategies for humanizing your internal critic.

4. A new approach to confronting setbacks.

5. Behavioral exercises that will increase your self-esteem now.

Packed with useful insights, straightforward guidance, and compassion, this little gem of a book, in fewer than sixty pages, provides a set of easy tools that will help you feel better about yourself. When people feel better about themselves, everything around them can change for the better. On the other hand, when a person becomes harsh and self-critical they are turning on the one person who can do the most to help.
