Self-Worth & Self-Esteem
How Do You Think About Yourself?
Do you find it hard to name your positive attributes or successes? What emotions do you feel when you think about who you are? Maybe you constantly compare yourselves to others, putting yourself down.
Self-esteem describes your opinion of yourself, what we think and feel about ourselves, influenced by the external factors and life experiences. It can change based on how we feel that day, who we are in the company of, and what situations we are in. Self-worth is the deep, subconscious, internal belief that you have about your worth as an individual, regardless of external factors. Both senses of self are critical components of a well-rounded, healthy view of self.
A person with a high self-esteem will likely be more confident, will trust themselves more, and will find value in their own self-image. In comparison, a person with a low self-esteem may lack confidence, may have a hard time making choices, and may feel they have little control over their lives.
Is Your Low Self-Esteem and Self-Worth Affecting Your Daily Life?
A person can experience both low and high self-esteem. But when negative evaluations of the self start to overcome the positive consistently, your self-esteem can erode, potentially leaving you to feel defeated and ashamed, make bad choices, and fail to live up to your full potential. Having a high self-esteem and self-worth can help you to accept yourself, show yourself compassion, and believe in yourself, helping you live life to your fullest potential.
If the above resonated with you, it may be time to consider therapy. We believe that you will find our comprehensive approach more effective than most approaches to the healing process. What’s more, we offer a free, 10-minute phone consultation so that we can make sure we’re a good fit and have the potential for a great rapport for each other ahead of time.
