Learn to appreciate the person you are
Self-esteem is made of the opinions, feelings and thoughts we have about ourselves. Our childhood experiences play a large role in developing our self-esteem, and our self-esteem changes in response to positive and negative life experiences.
Shame often underlies low self-esteem. Shame is the fear that we are not good enough to be loved or experience belonging. Those of us with poor self-esteem often have a strong 'Internal Critic' - a voice in our heads that judges and criticises us. Perfectionists also have low self-esteem as they try to perform, perfect, and please others in order to feel worthy.
Healthy self-esteem is based on our ability to see ourselves accurately and accept and value ourselves unconditionally, even with our imperfections. Psychological therapy can help improve self-esteem; increase feelings of worthiness and belonging; increase self-compassion and self acceptance; improve happiness and life satisfaction and reduce unhealthy reactions to shame.
