{"=Introducing Self-esteem"=>""}

As the word ‘reasonable’ suggests, it is not about perfection, it is about balance, recognizing and appreciating the positives in your life while also being prepared to honestly acknowledge areas where you might improve.

-esteem is bound up in the feelings and thoughts that you have about yourself, your worth, your abilities and your qualities.

Low self-esteem can be a factor in depression

. CBT rests on the belief that how we think influences our actions and our feelings, and that by correcting or modifying distorted, erroneous or exaggerated beliefs we can achieve more balanced feelings

on valuing yourself cov

‘If you hear a voice within you say “You cannot paint”, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.’
—Vincent Van Gogh

empowering yourself brings you forward into the arena of developing your assertiveness and improving related communication skills in relationships.

on understanding yourself I start by examining potential causes of low self-esteem and move from there into illustrating how you can develop your own understanding and awareness of yourself, your identity and your personality in healthy ways that help to address negative voices from your past or present.

on looking after yourself considers an area which is sometimes undervalued in discussions of self-esteem – that of taking good care of your mind and body. This is important because your mental and physical health are often intimately connected.
