🔹 What is Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem is basically how you see and value yourself.
It’s the confidence you have in your worth, abilities, and the way you carry yourself.
Think of it like an inner mirror:
If your mirror is clear → you see yourself in a positive light.
If your mirror is cracked → you focus only on flaws and negatives.

🔹 Signs of Healthy Self-Esteem
You believe in yourself, even when things are hard.
You can accept mistakes and learn from them, without hating yourself.
You set boundaries and don’t let people treat you badly.
You feel comfortable in your own skin.

🔹 Signs of Low Self-Esteem
Constantly comparing yourself to others.
Feeling “not good enough” no matter what you achieve.
Having trouble saying “no” because you don’t want to upset people.
Depending too much on others’ approval to feel okay.

🔹 Why It Matters
Self-esteem shapes your:
Relationships (you attract how you see yourself).
Decisions (confidence helps you take better risks).
Mental health (low self-esteem often leads to stress, anxiety, or depression).

🔹 How to Build Strong Self-Esteem
1. Positive self-talk → Replace “I can’t” with “I’m learning to.”
2. Celebrate small wins → Even simple progress counts.
3. Surround yourself with supportive people → Avoid those who always drag you down.
4. Take care of your body → Rest, eat well, exercise; how you treat your body affects how you feel about yourself.
5. Set boundaries → Respect yourself enough to say “no.”
6. Learn new skills → Growth builds confidence.

✨ Self-esteem isn’t about being perfect. It’s about accepting yourself fully—the good, the flaws, and the growing parts.
