Self Esteem and Decisions

What is Self Esteem ?

Your self esteem depends on many questions:

• Is your job worthwhile? Do others respect what you do? Do you?
      
• Do you believe you are successful?
   
• How do you see yourself (your self image)?
   
• How do you feel about your strengths and weaknesses?
   
• What do you think of your social status?
   
• How do you relate to others?
   
• Can you make your own decisions? A lack of choices leads to low self esteem.

What is Low Self Esteem?

Low self esteem results from a poor self image. Your self image is based on how you see yourself. Do you think you are a good, reliable, hardworking, honest or friendly person?

Low self esteem also depends on other factors like your job. For example, do you value the job you do? Does the job you have help you be happy with who you are?  

Low self esteem feeds your negative thinking and makes you believe negative comments others make. This can cause you to lose confidence so it is vital to end negative thoughts if you want to build your self esteem.
