As circumstances change,
so can self-esteem
Low self -esteem means, of course, that you negatively view yourself. Your weaknesses and the mistakes you have made in your life will be your focus.
If on the other hand, you have high self -esteem you will view yourself in a good light. Having high self -esteem enables you to ‘bounce back’ from difficult times in your life and significant life events such as loss and changes in circumstance.
Self-esteem is an opinion, not a fact
It is essential to recognise that these are only opinions that you hold about yourself; they are not facts. They can be inaccurate, and there are always things that you can do to change them.
Change is not easy, but you can help yourself by being realistic and seeing each small success as a step in the right direction.
“You have been criticising yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” Helen Keller
