Hey! I hope you're doing good :) Today's blog is about self-esteem or else you can say, self-respect.
It's said that self-esteem, self-love, and self-worth all start with self. In today's blog, I'll be discussing what is self-esteem, types of self-esteem, how good self-esteem helps you through difficult situations, and what to do if you have low self-esteem.
Firstly, what is Self-esteem?
Self-esteem is an individual's subjective evaluation of their worth. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs about oneself as well as emotional states, such as triumph, despair, pride, and shame.
What are the types of self-esteem?
1- High and stable self-esteem
2- High and unstable self-esteem
3-Stable and low self-esteem
4- Unstable and low self-esteem
5-Inflated self-esteem
6-Collapsed or low self-esteem
7-Vulnerable or regular self-esteem
8-Strong or elevated self-esteem
How can good self-esteem help you through difficult situations?
People with good self-esteem are often better able to accept challenges and overcome any perceived failures. If difficulties arise, those with high self-esteem are more likely to ask others around for assistance and tend to believe in an overall positive outcome, which is beneficial when overcoming challenges.
What to do if you have low self-esteem?
First of all, stop listening to your inner critic.
The critical inner voice is that internal observer that hurtfully judges our thoughts and actions. This nasty inner critic continually nags us with a barrage of negative thoughts about ourselves and the people around us. It decimates our self-esteem consistently with thoughts like…
“You’re stupid.”
“You’re fat.”
“Nobody likes you.”
“You should be quiet. Every time you talk you just make a fool of yourself.”
“Why can’t you be like other people?”
“You’re worthless.”
One way to do this is to write down all your inner critic’s criticisms on one side of a piece of paper. Then write down a more realistic and compassionate appraisal of yourself on the other side. For example, if you write a self-criticism like “You’re stupid,” you could then write, “I may struggle at times, but I am smart and competent in many ways.”
Challenging your inner critic helps stop the shame spiral that feeds into low self-esteem. When you recognize the critical inner voice as a source of your negative self-attacks, you can begin to defy this inner critic and see yourself for who you are.
Every time you feel you're worthless or stupid, remember, you're one in 7,00,00,00,000!
There is no one like you and there would never be!
Always remember,
You are beautiful
You are worthy
You are important
You are special
You are unique
You are wonderful
You are talented
And you're irreplaceable!
