Self-esteem: The Lazy Person’s Guide!

Improving your self-esteem isn’t about becoming selfish, loud, competitive and arrogant. It’s about taking care of yourself so that you have the strength and energy to help and give to others when appropriate.

Intimate relationships that don’t work out, set-backs, knocks, poor health, accidents, the loss of a loved one, financial struggles and so on can all be damaging.

The foundations of low self-esteem are often laid in childhood, but as we grow up stressful life events and adult responsibilities can also cause self-esteem to plummet

You may rely excessively on certain things for a feeling of self-worth.

sometimes you will be wrong and you are fallible.

You are alive, but you aren’t really living

life is just a bowl of cherries

prevent this, self-esteem needs to be grounded firmly in self-acceptance.

If you have low-self esteem you aren’t being yourself, because you fear what others might think. You rely on others for approval. You don’t think you are worthwhile and you have little faith in your own abilities.
