SELF ESTEEM 1.1

SELF ESTEEM: 1.1

“Self-Esteem is an expression of your perceptions about yourself and the reaction and response of others to you as an individual. Self-esteem refers to the way we see and think about ourselves.” We all have a mental picture of  who we are, how we look, what we're good at, and what our weaknesses might be. This mental picture contributes to our Self-esteem. Self-esteem is about how much we feel valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others and how much we value, love, and accept ourselves.

Self-Esteem: How Do You See Yourself?

“Your self-esteem is made up of all the experiences and interpersonal relationships you’ve had in your life. Everyone you’ve ever met has added to or taken away from how you see yourself!” Your self esteem depends on many questions:

• 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?
