Self Esteem

What is Self Esteem?
Having a sense of healthy self esteem generally means that for most of the time, we have a sense of ourselves as a valuable human being who can appreciate our own positive qualities as well as those in others.

More specific signs of healthy self esteem include:

• Self acceptance – including our personal strengths and weaknesses
• Feeling positive most of the time
• Seeing ourselves as being in control of our own lives
• Having the belief that we are usually able to achieve our goals
• Viewing ourselves as a competent person
• Having a hopeful and positive attitude
• Being able to maintain fulfilling and satisfying relationships
• Ability to be assertive

Generally speaking, the way we experience our lives is shaped by the accumulation of our experiences from the time that we are born to the present moment. Whilst all life experiences impact upon us in one way or another, the time of life when we are most shaped by our experience is when we are children.
