Self Esteem
The greatest mistake you can make in life is
to be
continually fearing you will make one.
Elbert Hubbard
Everybody experiences low self-esteem sometimes. Those who let low self-esteem take its course suffer from low self-esteem usually.
Lets start at self-esteem.
Self-esteem has become a trendy term often referred to in health mass media.
Self-esteem determines a person's mental health.
Self-esteem is feeling capable to deal with life's challenges. Self-efficacy and
self-respect are both necessary to healthy self-esteem.
Self-efficacy means that there is a trust in your mental abilities. It does not mean that you believe you will never make an error, but
rather that when you do make mistakes you can learn from them. Self-efficacy is
deeper than confidence in a specific knowledge or skill. If we are lacking in
self-efficacy then we would expect to fail at everything we try.
Self-respect is a belief that you have an inherent value, that you deserve
the respect of others and you will have friendship, love and happiness.
No
matter what achievements people has accomplished, if they feel unworthy of the
love and respect of others, they have low self-esteem. Low self-esteem cannot be
considered in isolation. Social, physical, psychological, and economic
factors influence on self-esteem.
