Building Your Self Esteem
Self Esteem /ˌsɛlfɛˈstiːm/
noun: self-esteem
confidence in one's own worth or abilities; self-respect.
Most of us may feel that our confidence in our own worth and abilities is lower than it could be. It’s fine to acknowledge that we have weaknesses and could do some things better, but do we take the time to notice when we’ve done well, are good at things and are people who bring real value to the people around us? Building confidence is a long journey, we can always be working at it. Being confident is also not the same as being arrogant. It’s one thing to go around thinking you are better than other people and its another to recognise your own worth and strengths alongside other people’s. There is nothing wrong with liking who you are and valuing yourself and building self esteem helps us to feel this way.

Can we ignore a lot of the expectations thrown at us? Are some of those to blame for our self esteem being worse than it should be?
