Struggling with self-esteem? Notice the signs and learn how to improve it

At Makin Wellness, we understand that self-esteem plays a crucial role in your overall mental health and well-being. A healthy level of self-esteem can positively impact various aspects of your life, from personal relationships to professional success. That's why in today's newsletter, we want to share some valuable insights and practical tips to help you boost your self-esteem and enhance your quality of life.

??Understanding self-esteem

Self-esteem is the way you perceive and value yourself. It is influenced by various factors, including your experiences, relationships, and inner thoughts. Having high self-esteem means you have a positive view of yourself and believe in your abilities, while low self-esteem can lead to self-doubt and illogical thinking.

??Signs of low self-esteem:

?? Unhealthy self-talk: Constantly criticizing yourself and believing you are not good enough.

?? Fear of rejection: Avoiding social situations or relationships due to a fear of being judged or rejected.

?? Perfectionism:?Setting unrealistically high standards for yourself and feeling disappointed when you don't meet them.??

?? Lack of assertiveness:?Difficulty speaking up for yourself or expressing your needs and opinions.?

?? Comparing yourself to others:?Constantly measuring your worth against others' achievements or appearances.?

??What you can do about it:

??Practice self-compassion: Be kind to yourself, especially during challenging times. Treat yourself with the same compassion and understanding you would offer a friend.

??Set realistic goals: Achievable goals can provide a sense of accomplishment and boost your confidence. Break larger goals into smaller, manageable steps.

??Celebrate your achievements: Acknowledge and celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem. Keeping a journal of your achievements can be a great way to remind yourself of your progress.

??Surround yourself with positive influences: Spend time with people who uplift and support you. Positive relationships can reinforce your sense of self-worth.

??Challenge negative thoughts: Pay attention to your inner dialogue. When negative thoughts arise, question their validity and replace them with positive affirmations.

??♂?Take care of your physical health: Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep are essential for maintaining both physical and mental health.
