Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself. It's the overall sense of worth, confidence and self respect.

When you have got high self-esteem, you are more likely to take risks, believe in yourself and bounce back from setbacks.

On the other hand , low self esteem can make you doubt yourself, feel insecure and struggle with negative self-talk.

It's all about your mental image of yourself and how you perceive your own value.

Does that make sense?

TIPS/STRATEGIES THAT HELP TO BOOST YOUR SELF-ESTEEM.

1) Practice positive affirmations: Repeat daily affirmations that uplift and encourage you. For example, "I am capable and competent ".

2) Focus on strengths : Rather than dwelling on weeknesses, focus on your strengths and accomplishments. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem.

3) Self-care: Take care of your physical, emotional and mental health. Get enough sleep, exercise regularly and engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation.

4) Challenge negative self-talk: Notice when you are thinking negative thoughts about yourself and challenge them with more balanced, realistic ones. For example " l made a mistake, but I can learn from it."

5) Surround yourself with positivity: Spend time with people who support and encourage you and avoid those who bring you down.

*Remember, building self-esteem takes time and effort, but it's worth it!

# YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE!

Self esteem is liking ourselves. It comes from learning to accept who we are and still choosing to like ourselves.

It starts to develop as early as 4-5 years of age stretching over to adulthood.

One of the most important tool to build self esteem is PRAISE. Praise plays a crucial role in building children's self-worth and encouraging them to believe in their abilities.

Children learn through play..T he same way we worry and engage ourselves in our work is the same way the children feel about their play... Remember.... THEY LEARN THROUGH PLAY!!!

Sometimes you may sit down and wonder 'What is life ?' Just remember one thing....GOD In it.
