Overcoming Low Self-Esteem: What it is and how to improve it

By Frank T. Kizer

A person's total perception of their own value and worth is known as self-esteem. It is based on their self-perceived ideas, feelings, and beliefs. People who have a high sense of self-worth think they are competent, valuable, and deserving of admiration and respect. They view themselves and their lives positively. On the other hand, those who lack self-esteem hold unfavorable opinions about themselves. They might believe they are unlovable, incapable, or unworthy. They could also view themselves and their lives with pessimism.

Because it influences our beliefs, feelings, and behaviors, self-esteem is crucial. High self-esteem individuals are more likely to:

Happy. Positive feelings and life satisfaction are more likely to be felt by them.
Resilient. They can handle pressure and adversity better.
Successful. They have a higher chance of realizing their ambitions and goals.
Empathetic. They are more likely to have empathy and understanding for other people.
Healthier. They are less likely to practice harmful habits like smoking, drinking, or using drugs.
Self-esteem can be affected by a variety of variables, including:

Our self-perception ideas and convictions. Our self-esteem is greatly influenced by the thoughts and words we use to describe ourselves to ourselves. It will be challenging to develop a positive self-image if we are continuously criticizing ourselves and concentrating on our weaknesses.
Our encounters. Our self-esteem is influenced by a variety of factors, including our early experiences, interpersonal connections, accomplishments, and failures. Positive experiences increase our likelihood of having good self-esteem. To build a good sense of self-worth, it can be more challenging if we've had unfavorable experiences.
our society. Our culture also influences how high we value ourselves. While humility and modesty are valued in some cultures, self-promotion and success are highly regarded in others. These cultural norms may have an impact on how we see ourselves and our value.
Self-esteem changes with time. Depending on our experiences, connections, and attitudes and views about ourselves, it may alter over time. We can concentrate on cultivating optimistic thoughts and attitudes about ourselves, making practical goals, and establishing reassuring relationships if we wish to increase our self-esteem.
