Self-Esteem Counseling
Are you struggling with poor self-esteem?
Is your low confidence getting in the way of living the life you want to lead?
What Is Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem is determined by how we feel about who we are and the life we lead and whether or not we “esteem” ourselves. If we esteem ourselves, we respect, like, and appreciate who we are. Self-esteem can have an enormous effect on your ability to function, succeed in your endeavors, and enjoy yourself in your day-to-day life.
Why Don’t I Have Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem can fluctuate greatly over the course of a lifetime, with events such as breakups and job losses often causing damage to it. Although negative occurrences like these are a natural part of life that everyone experiences regardless of self-esteem, those with low self-esteem can view these events as indications of their worth. They can become overwhelmed by negative thoughts about themselves and can let that mindset rule their lives.
When people have healthy self-esteem, they are able to better manage life’s ups and downs because they are resilient. Despite setbacks, they believe in themselves and their futures. They have realistic expectations about life and accept themselves for how they are, recognizing their good characteristics while not being brought down by the ones they perceive as bad.
Self-esteem is a problem if you are unable to accept life’s ebbs and flows because you don’t respect or like yourself. You may be filled with doubt, unwilling to try new things and avoiding people and social situations. Low confidence can keep you from pursuing relationships, jobs, and other opportunities that may help improve your self-esteem, keeping you in a negative cycle.
