TYPES AND ROLE OF SELF ESTEEM: HOW TO IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN YOUR SELF ESTEEM

HOW TO IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN YOUR SELF ESTEEM

Self-esteem is how we feel about ourselves. When things are going well, we feel confident and respect each other. We are satisfied with who we are, what we can do and how competent we are. Although it can change, self-esteem is largely permanent and constant. Positive self-esteem makes us persistent and optimistic about life.
Everything is influenced by self-esteem
Self-esteem affects not only our thoughts, but also our feelings and actions. It has important implications for our happiness and quality of life. It has a significant impact on our relationships, our careers, our aspirations, and how we take care of our children and ourselves.

Circumstances and status can affect self-esteem—many factors can contribute to the way we see ourselves—but the one contributing factor that all people who struggle with low self-esteem have in common is our thoughts. Of course we all have a better chance of feeling good about ourselves when things are going well, but it’s really our interpretation of our circumstances that can cause trouble, regardless of what they are.
